I think it would have had no effect on the media. Zelda was good, but had nothing that had not been seen before in gaming. It just put all the elements together, and did them all very well. This leads to a great game, but not much of a media event.
FFVII had cutscenes of a quality that had never been seen before. They looked great on TV, and were a media god sent. While the cutscenes had nothing to do with the real game, at the time, they were amazing.
That's what made it the media giant it was. Not the game itself.
