i know what you mean, but well, many do view LOZ as the greatest game series. i would put LOZ and GTA next to each other. NO other series even comes close for me, not RE, FF. in 20 years we may be able to add TLOU franchie and maybe RDR time will tell.

I wouldn't put GTA anywhere near Zelda. GTA to date hasn't been able to nail a single gameplay mechanic. Not fighting, platforming, shooting, driving and or flying. Most secondary quests have been boring and repetitive. 

 

Zelda on the other hand has had amazing combat, horse riding, variety of quests, much better exploration and pretty much nailed most of not all implemented gameplay mechanics. 

 

GTA is like CoD, it's sells on brand power and marketing more than quality of the game itself. 

 

Rant over :p 

Well maybe GTA does sell on brand power but in fairness, gta3 vice city and SA were fantastic games back in the day, and even if you personally don't appreciate GTA5 you must be able to appreciate the sheer effort that went into that game. So yeah for me GTA4 and 5 lacked something but I can't deny there likeability for many people.
