Mostly it's highly rate because a bunch of people, who have way too much nostalgia with the game they played as a child and mostly never again "to not ruin their experience", rated it that high... yeah whatever. It's with a lot of these overrated games (like Mario 64, Sonic 2, Final Fantasy 7)
Zelda is a massively overrated franchise to begin with. Look around, almost every mainstream Zelda is hyped as the best thing ever (look at timewaster and emptiness simulator botW or SNES nostalgia Link to the past). Sure, most of the games a great, but they are not like the best thing ever in the universe.
I kind of really hate this type of hype where the majority of people keep shoving into my face how great that game is, because they played it back then and hate everything else. It makes me even more demotivated to play the game. It's hard to describe, but the more hype there is about a game, the more I hate about it. I don't know why that is so (maybe because you expect more from the game thanks to the hype, than it has actually has to offer). I especially hate it, when I say that it isn't the best game ever made, they start yelling at me and say that I'm not a "true" Zelda fan.
I really hate these people.
Sorry... slipped a little bit off topic there. Didn't mean to do that, but it's easy to go off the track on topics like this sometimes.
I played the game once (on Game Cube mind you) and stopped playing shortly after the first dungeon, because I didn't liked it. I watched on YouTube for more to see if it's worth spending my free hours... it wasn't. Then I used my time to play something else instead...
EDIT:
Just reading these reviews on Metacritic there makes both of my eyes roll... realism being the reason for a 100/100 rating? Are you even serious? This is the reason why I no longer take review sties and magazines serious anymore.
