The way I view it, injecting a harem somewhere into a story is much less fucking it up than injecting multiverse or all just a dream. If you're building it up, that seems more like the entire story is based around the harem concept which makes it more the premise than just a trope and in that way I can see a story based around a harem premise being worse than one based around a multiverse premise but in that case, where does "all just a dream" premise fall in? All just a dream is near universally just a twist trope shown at the end rather than an entire premise built upon itself. Link's Awakening is one of the few that has it kind of be in the middle. I suppose a plot where someone knows they're in a dream and needs to wake up? I suppose having it be a quick gag.

I wouldnt write off Links Awakening as just a dream. Typically, the it was all a dream trope implies that nothing that happened really matters. However, in Links Awakening, even though the events occur within a dream, the dream world functions like another dimension. What Link does in this dream world has real significance.
