I'd put both 2002 and 2007 above it. 2007 gets plenty of attention as is, but 2002 was a fantastic year as well. A Zelda that I would still consider better than BotW in Wind Waker, Metroid Prime (which I would consider to be superior to SMO based on what I've played of the latter so far), Metroid Fusion, Mario Sunshine, and Ruby/Sapphire.
I think I could go either way on whether 2013 is better than 2017 as well: FE: Awakening, ALBW, Pikmin 3, and Dual Destinies + Wonderful 101 if we're allowed to count third party exclusives.
