It changed the gameplay of it a lot. The older ones were birds-eye, and you only really had 2 dimensions to play with (either compass points, or left/right/up/down). Occarina of Time added a lot to it. You had true 3d movement in any direction, you could aim weapons like the bow and boomerang in any direction, and the battles were a lot different. The different control system helped: you could now have a sword and a shield and jump at the same time, not to mention also have a bow or bombs to hand without having to drop into the menus.
