I think part of the reason for TP being a bit of an outlier for the Zelda series is also why it makes for a particularly terrible comparison with something like MOM; it was an early platform release (launch actually, a first for any Zelda) and in nearly all aspects (aesthetic, design, story, gameplay) billed as an overtly "traditional" series installment, a return to form if you will, and Nintendo's PR practically sold it as OOT2 (which in many ways it was).
A more apt comparison with a game like MOM would be a Zelda that shared a similar context in terms of it's release (ie: late in it's platform's cycle, after a previous series installment) and design (ie: more experimental in nature, more linked to the creators wants, more controversial with fans)... and for that the only games that really come to mind are Adventure of Link and Majora's Mask, which actually upon reflection seem to have a lot in common with Other M (critically misunderstood initially, relative sales disappointments, vocal fanbase outrage).
