Honestly, as someone who played both TES: Daggerfall and Might & Magic VI before OOT back in days, I found it to be a charming game, but actually nowhere near the scope of those two games. Not the same genre, but if we're talking pure adventure, scale and exploration it was severely lacking compared to them.
Admittedly, console and PC gaming were quite apart in those days, so I doubt many console gamers had a chance to experience these PC games, so I can see where this line of thinking might be coming from.

I meant not so much literal scope (though Hyrule Field was freaking massive by the standards of a time when in most games things popped in or faded into fog 5 meters ahead of the player) but the feeling of scope it invoked through its broad and varied world, larger-than-life story beats, and just the vibe of an epic quest to save the world.

I agree completely, if we're talking strictly about action-adventures. Yet, if we're talking about RPGs, they were doing that for quite a long time before that.
