If this were any other franchise I might agree with you. However, the majority of Zelda fans are traditionalists in the purest sense, and they would not want something drastically done to their baby. As it stands the original Fallout forums had a massive outcry from people declaring their franchise ruined from Fallout 3, and the fanbase of the series is significantly less than that of Zelda.
I think this article would be better if you dropped the comparisons and just flat out made your suggestions for the game. You would get a far less negative response if you just suggested Zelda should be made into an open world experience with far more interactivity than previous games.
Also, and the most important point, RPG fans are snobs. Usually most pretend to hate Morrowind/Oblivion/FO3 in leiu of better days and/or Zelda. It's kind of like how most will rant and rant about how Final Fantasy died at FF6 and everything else has been mainstream blasphemy. So its probably a good idea if you left the initial comparison out and just kept it resolved around Zelda. (note, I am an RPG fan myself, so I am not "attacking" my fellow peeps but just making a truthful observation)
