Xenoblade X is the far better game, however it might lack focus on and length of story and may suffer from even more stupid useless low quality fetch / kill side quests than its predecessor. Xenoblade Chronicles had 60+ hours of pure AAA storyline (without sidequests) but the story in Xenoblade X will be much shorter, however still comparable to an average Zelda game.
What Zelda will do better is the interaction with the environment (you can cut grass or dig holes). Xenoblade does not have that at all, the world does not feel as alive as it could. The music in Zelda will also be much better since the vocal tracks in X will not even come close to the AAA Xenoblade Wii soundtrack. Also the dungion solving elements are a plus for Zelda but the open world concept is a very high risk which could riun the game if done wrong, especially if the story becomes an unimportant side element like in Skyrim.
However, there has not been any good Zelda game since Ocarina of Time, all later entries were either too short (MM), to childish or had boring Midna sections which kept me from finishing any of them.
Xenoblade X will once again ask a lot of philosophical and moral questions and feature a very deep storyline which will provide a value and an impact to your life. Thus it will easily be the game you will remember and value more.

Yeah, but most of the useless fetch quests (at least what I read) can be skipped. and it still takes around 150 hours to complete.
