It certainly isn't mature. 

It's an adult game. Consider yourself the autority on maturity all you want, but this doesn't change that Zelda compared to GTA is like Disney compared to Scarface.

Horizon looks to be more adult in its theme, presentation, and by the way it grounds its world in realism. Zelda has always been more like a faity tale kind of thing, and has barely ever pushed adult/mature themes, be it through its presentation, execution, storytelling, psychology of its characters, etc. Zelda games are made to be accessible for the entire family, and the end result has always reflected that. 

In no way does Zelda not being an adult/mature game equals to it being an inferior experience. So I suggest you leave the defensive behaviour behind.

Adult content is not the same as mature. GTA is a game that excited me as a little kid, now not so much... Do you honestly think robot dinosaurs are a mature theme? Have you ever played Majora's Mask? If you visit the Swordsman in the final hour of the game, for example, you'll see him cowering in fear in a secret backroom. Or the Ganondorf execution cutscene in Twilight Princess. Or the segment where Midna is dying and you have to save her, the accompying music creates a powerful emotional setting. 

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes has a Teen rating, but I would consider it a much darker and deeper experience than any GTA game I've played. And certainly a lot more mature. 

Fairy tales are infamous for their dark and twisted stories by the way... Just saying.
