Magic certainly adds an extra goodie to Zelda games, but I really don't think it makes the game overall better. I have fun with Zelda games containing and lacking magic. It really doesn't matter to me.

I think magic does make Zelda better, but not automatically. Only if it's done right. The three magic spells and the different types of arrows from Ocarina of Time just made it more fun. I don't know how, they just did. I can't think of an example of when it's done incorrectly, though.

I don't think it's ever been used incorrectly, but it was used halfheartedly in OoT and somewhat poorly in WW.
