Ocarina...is just a flawless game especially back in 1998. FF7 was absolutely mind blowing too, back in 1997. Ocarina just pretty much did everything better except for story and music. They are different games, one is action adventure/rpg the other is a traditional turn based JRPG.
Ocarina was also revolutionary, established new gameplay conventions and broke new ground. FFVII Played like most JRPGs that came before it, it was just bigger, and modernized in the visual department. There are also arguments about games within the same genre being better before it (Chrono Trigger, FFVI) and after it within the same gen (Xenogears, FFIX).
That said FFVII was probably my favorite game that gen, only behind OoT and SM64.
