The last Zelda title on the Wii U game scored  86 on metacritic. Zelda never had this much open competition....like ever.

The last Zelda title on the Wii U was a remake of a ten year old game, that it still scored an 86 is contrary to your conclusion. 

Point taken. As I told Miyamoto before you, the last Zelda game came out before most of the newest genre standard setting open world action rpgs dropped. This will weight on reviewers minds heavily. I wouldnt doubt Zelda will get a 90, but its going to be harder today than ever before.
