In my opinion side quests shouldn't be deep anyway. They should just be for the rewards. Most of the masks you work your ass of to obtain only result in getting you one piece of heart. The payoff seems pretty bad, its a good thing I enjoy doing sidequests anyway but I can see why other people might be annoyed. Not to mention one of the hardest quests results in the Fairy Sword which seems pretty pointless when you can get the Golden Sword which may not be as powerful but far more functionable. Yes the Fairy Sword is worse than the Goron Sword.
Then again OoT had that Gerudo Training Ground which result in the Ice Arrow which are pretty useless in that game.
