Game play perfect for that time. 

Super mario 64 was perfect , but consecutive games  improved the gameplay.
FF 7 has no better gameplay than FF 6, only graphics.Technology allows us to improve if used well.
The point of game design is to improve, not to do more of the same every time.

FF 7 was a fantastic game in that time, and  a gigantic event in the reception of role-playing games by the mass public. But the discussion refers to which of the 2 games is superior, not more popular.
Although the comparison does not seem correct by the type of game Zelda (Action adventure) FF7 (Jrpg) are.

Sorry for my bad english.

I don't think this argument holds up.

Let's take for example Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Sonic Generations, two games that came out around the same time.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 built on the foundation of Mario Galaxy without improving much.  Just better (debatable) level design. But since Mario Galaxy was amazing, Galaxy 2 was still an amazing game.

On the other hand, Sonic Generations was a pretty massive improvement from the last game, Sonic Unleashed.  But, since Sonic Unleashed was at best "ok" Generations was just pretty good.

Even though Generations was a bigger improvement over its predecessor, Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a much better game.

So, just because Ocarina of Time was a bigger improvement, doesn't necessarily mean it was a better game.  Although I think it is a better game just because it's better on its own merits.
