Super Metroid and SotN are more styled to newer console type of play (zelda) where exploration is central and power ups and leveling are essential to progress in the game. I prefer the latter but I can imagine people liking the arcade model for pick up and play appeal.It's a great genre. I loved Super Metroid.
