This breath of the wild soundtrack sounds like a mess.

Just because it has a lot of instruments doesn't mean is a mess.
Personally I like it a lot,, the violin parts are really well done, the percussion has good rhythm to it.
Just because is complex doesn't mean is a mess or bad. Is not a catchy song that's for sure. Think of it like pop music; pop is catchy and popular because is simple, easy to remember; but classic music is more complex with more instrument so is more difficult to appreciate.
That said this is not a masterpiece, but is definitely a very good tune.

not saying bad, I said a mess. Like a bunch of instruments trying to sound like something and THEN it sounds like something. Now, I don't know if I like it cause  it's very unusual and not very zelda. However, there's another battle theme that sounds awesome and there's the guardian battle theme that sounds technological AND awesome.

You probably didn't read the first line of my post but anyway, at no point the song changes dramatically so it's definitely not a mess. 

If you listen carefully the song maintains the same rhythm but with different speed (it gets slightly faster bit by bit during the main part, the verses keep the same speed) and the change of instruments, which now that I listen more carefully is not that much, you can hear violin, 2 different types of percussion, some click sound which I'm not sure what it is and the trumpets; not that crazy nor a mess all things considered.

Edit: there's also piano, forgot to mention that.

The Ocarina of Time song which you are using basically has the same percussion and trumpet rhythm with no variations at all (the trumpets just slightly changes at the end), not impressive at all; but going to my previous point, simple is more catchy.

As a side of note and off topic, I prefer the more complex style of songs of recent games, while old game songs can be good, they were limited in a lot of ways by the hardware but now that is a no issue.
