Its a really hard thing to say, because these games are/have launching/launched in different times.
Even though I personally think that BOTW has the potential to surprass OOT, due to it being the most ambitious Zelda since, well, OOT(and doing new things and being its "own" Zelda also helps it) the problem is that OOT launched on a time period where 3D was new, and OOT basically pioneered everything it did.Not only that, but it was also a experience without precedence.It was something of a one-of-a-kind back in the days.The same cannot be said for BOTW.While it will make things its own ways and surely innovate on some stuffs, big open worlds arent new.It dosent have that "freshness" that OOT had going for it.And that alone will most likely stop BOTW from surprassing it.
Of course, Im saying this is critic-wise only.Personally Im sure people will prefer one or the other, since personal view is very personal, obviously.But all in all, I think OOT wll remain king.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
