I do. I think that since OoT, there have been so many improvements to the franchise that OoT feels like a relic today. Something like Wind Waker HD, for all it's flaws, doesn't feel like an old game. OoT 3D, for all it's improvements, still does. I think that OoT is an extremely important game and nothing can take that away from it, but I have a feeling that most people who consider OoT the best in the series experienced it as one of the first games they'd ever played, and there for it was a more nostalgic experience, combined with it's immense quality, that doesn't allow them to see that it's gotten better.
It's like when people say that Pokemon Red and Blue are the best Pokemon games. They aren't even close. If someone new to the franchise where to play every game (in their most recent form) in order today, most of them would have Firered and Leafgreen at the bottom, and most of them would have OoT3D near the bottom. Games have gotten better since the ninty's.
Even I, who feels like TP is the least original and is my least favorite Zelda, think it's structurally better than OoT in almost every imaginable way. It controls better. It looks b-... It has a larger and more interesting selection of items. It has a better Link. It has a better companion. It has a larger world. It has better dungeons. It has better bosses. It has less heart, but if it was the first Zelda game I played, I couldn't imagine playing OoT and liking it better. It's just more modern. TP will age much better than OoT ever could.
