Twilight Princess, because it's Ocarina plus unnecessary cutscenes, plot and limited-control modes.
The lack of games similar to Zelda in the intervening time made people rate it highly. If it came out at the same time as OoT it would have been seen as a bad clone attempt.

For my own choice, probably Metroid Prime 3. People are now hyping Retro's effort and Retro in general as compared to Other M, but Prime 3 was just not the same game. It was never about shooting or space marines or different planets before. Retro's talent left mostly after Prime 1 but definitely after Prime 2.
