Because most developers usually don't attempt to develop a game similar to those. I could list games I personally think are better, and most people would agree on them being good games, maybe even better, and I'd receive a counter that "that's not at all like [x]."
As great of a game as Ocarina of Time is, it's not that it hasn't already been dethroned by a few games since it's been released, it's that no one who is a Nintendo fan will admit to it. You can go ahead and point out that Metacritic has the remake sitting at 94, not 99 like it originally received, but also many of those scores were perfect to appease fans, rather than the game actually being perfect. There are many portions of Ocarina of Time that are flawed, the incredibly slow pacing of the early parts of the game as well as some others, the controls, while very good even today, have some noticeable issues, etc. The amount of flaws the game has yet it receives all those perfect scores.
A game like Darksiders comes along and gets called out on each and every one of its flaws no matter the review. I'm not going to say Darksiders is a better game, but I am going to say it's not fair that one publisher gets so many free rides that people ignore their games' problems because of all the fan backlash they know they'd get if they didn't.
