BOTW is mentioned more because regardless on what ever people's views on it are or whether it appeals to someone or not it set a new bar in the industry that caused people to debate it as it changed how we look at open world games while SMO was a game that had top execution without really changing how we view things the latter is an evolution of SM64 while the former has taken it's series back to the original template to divert it in a whole new direction. The result is SMO is seen as a great game in the library and the is not much to really discuss about it while BOTW has a lot people debate over like are they happy with the new direction, what could they add in future, mechanical tricks, ways to play etc...
