I was invested in it just fine, simply for being such a vibrant fantasy world of talking trees, a lost tribe of elf kids, a dark prophecy, etc. Cliche on paper, but delivered on screen with the sincerity and gusto to make it work. Frankly, character development and story is not a major concern of mine in video games.

Well that certainly makes your praise of OoT more understandable.  For me, I need something more than that.  Games can be great without a story, don't get me wrong.  I loved Super Mario 3D World and many other games this gen and previous gens with little story.  But a stronger, more engaging story can make a great game fantastic.  

Yeah, we just have different priorities. Don't get me wrong, I love a good story in a video game (Bioshock, Bioshock Infinite, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, and Mass Effect all impressed me in this regard) but for me it's not strictly necessary; a lot of my favourite games have bugger all story.
