Don't you know the internet rules? Pick the most extreme example and generalize it to bigger group for best effect. 
Something can be the Game of the Year, totally reinvent a beloved franchise, and not be perfect.
That's not the same as being "overrated" imo.
Of course BotW has shortcomings. I think even the 10/10 crowd will be upfront about this.
I haven't played BotW yet, so I can't comment on that front, but I'd say that games are rated too highly in general. The full 100 point scale being used would be much better. Unfortunately though, it's not going to happen, especially when current games will be compared to the score of older games.

I don't mind the criticism as it introduces some ideas that might make for an even better Zelda next time, but it's ridiculous to try and claim this game was anything but a masterpiece; after all, there's never been a "masterpiece" that couldn't be improved. That's actually why I'm so excited for the next game, as Miyamoto said they'd be able to turn one around faster as they'd re-use the engine. This game was very clearly an introductory attempt to enter a genre that they'd never dabbled in, and they managed to stick the landing unlike just about anyone outside of GTA III. The pieces and framework are all well established, and I fully expect the next sequel to be more focused on additional content and details. |
While I enjoy the new art style each Zelda game tosses, I wouldn't mind going back in thsi world.
Imagine jumping foward a 100 years or something and since its the same world you recognize the world yet it's all new as well. The ruins are being rebuilt. The stables expanded into smaller towns. With the Divine Beasts under control the people are able to re-open lets say some HUGE dungeons that were hidden before. You know like a Water dungeon was under the water that beast was roaming. A sand dungeon out in teh desert hidden, ect.
The few lines of the article that Rol quoted made me think BotW must be a little like Morrowind.

All three. In seriousness, all three are good games. You have to decide which you want the most: Zelda is a good single-player experience, MK8 is great for local multiplayer and to an extent online and Splatoon for Online-matches. |
If only Nintendo had free online for the Switch... :(

Online is free until next year sometime I believe
The article is stupid. Not because the subjective opinion of the game being over rated is wrong, but because the supposed objective reasons are flat out wrong. Time may have given Majora's Mask a glossy coating for the author, but Clock Town doesn't have more depth than the entirety of Zelda - It has less content and characters than Necluda alone. If you took away all the Orbs and seeds, you would still have dozens of weapons to find in the world, vastly more items than any Zelda has ever seen.
And the story actually has tremendous depth. It's told in a GoT style of piecing together the events of the past while living out a parallel adventure in the modern time. It's a style of story telling that's a bit complex for some.
