It's almost like people react to things differently. Which BTW renders words like Zelda-cycle misleading and useless.

It doesn't.

Majora's Mask get the love it deserves throught years and people have already claimed how they have changed their mind.

When it was new, they probably didn't see how much worse the series would get since then.
Also, I know people who hate that game with a passion to this day.

Same can apply to OoT, WW and TP, which does not change the general perception of a Zelda cycle.

Aonuma, Iwata and Nintendo aknowledges this. This is not my fantasy, is a reality even them know:

Aonuma

There’s a “Zelda cycle.”

Iwata

Yes. Bill Trinen-san¹² at Nintendo of America—who always plays a big role in preparing the overseas versions of The Legend of Zelda games—always talks about the Zelda cycle.12. Bill Trinen: Product Marketing Director, Nintendo of America.

Aonuma

Basically, as time progresses, negative opinions about The Legend of Zelda turn into positive ones. At first, I wasn’t sure about that, but seeing the response to The Wind Waker HD, I think it may be right.

Iwata

And it isn’t restricted to The Wind Waker. Every time a new Zelda title comes out, there’s no shortage of negative opinions, but a year or two later, people are revising their opinions, and its reputation goes up.

Aonuma

The response of fans in North America was like that for The Wind Waker. When we first announced the original version in 2001, the majority of voices we heard were against it. However, the responses for the Nintendo Direct¹³ we aired in January were incredibly favorable. Also at the Nintendo Experience event at Best Buy¹⁴ which was held at the same time as this year’s E3¹⁵, a lot of people lined up in front of the single demo station for The Wind Waker HD in each store, saying they really wanted to play it.
