Those 2 specifically could be fairly easily done on one's own minus 1 or 2 parts. The only thing I had trouble finding in Zelda was, I think it was the 7th dungeon in the second quest. Hidden in the forest near the old level 8, but in an odd place, but you didn't have the red candle yet so try bush, leave screen, go back, repeat. The kid on the playground that found it was god for a day or two. Then word of mouth takes some edge off. It was common to know to use the silver arrow on Ganon well before you got there. Metroid's only truly obtuse part is the one vertical hallway early on you have to bomb a path through to progress.

Besides, you think those are bad, try early RPGs. Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, Might and Magic, Phantasy Star. Games where even the goal is unclear without a guide.

I'm not saying that less toxic gaming journalists would lead to less toxic gamers. I'm just saying there's no proof to the contrary.
