But Link to the Past didn't reformulate Zelda! And if it did, Ocarina of Time did so in much more meaningful ways.

Yes it did. LttP started the Three Dungeons -> Master Sword -> Dual World -> Advanced Dungeons formula.

Wind Waker and Twilight Princess played around with this formula but OoT lifted it right out of LttP and didn't change a thing.

 

But... but that isn't even a significant formula! It's a theme. A formula would be "descend into the dungeon and acquire an item which allows you to complete puzzles in that dungeon".

LoZ established the series formulae. What LttP did was establish several tropes used in other games.
