Maybe people should just see 10/10 in a different light, rather than impeccable perfection. Like I said somewhere else, GameSpot interprets their own 10 games as "Essential" rather than Perfect, which allows them to point flaws and still award such score. For me a 10/10 implies a masterpiece, not a perfect game, which still gives room to point out flaws (though I generally disagree about scoring a game because it only gives more problems than anything else). We can always go for the "no game is perfect!" argument, which is quite valid I guess, so this way you also save falling into that issue. 

That being said, people disagreeing with Zelda's 10/10 based on technical issues is a valid complain to have on their end, regardless of other critical-acclaimed games having the same treatment from the critics perspective. Just because something happens in the past doesn't mean people perception should get dismissed when it happens again now.
