Breath of the Wild is not sized up for it's story in the same way The Last of Us is ... let's be honest, a Naughty Dog game with a mediocre story is a huge blow, a Nintendo game with a mediocre story is expected. 

I personally think that The Last of Us has a great story despite the fact that I don't view it as very innovative.

I think it's more a matter of story being front and centre in TLoU while BOTW prioritizes exploration and mechanical experimentation. Story tends to be the steak in Sony's first party efforts while in Nintendo's its the side garnish.

That's actually exactly what I meant, lol :P 

Maybe I just didn't explain it well, but that's what I mean when I use terms like "sized up" or "expectations". For Sony and especially Naughty Dog games, the things that people judge the game on are very often different than what they judge Nintendo games on, because the expectations and the point of the games is often very different.
