When's this meme that the "classic games are always the best" going to die?
Look, ALttP, OoT and all that is great but the depth, attention to detail and what you an actually do in BotW fully surpasses both in every way. In terms of entertainment value and what it's been able to achieve. It's the combination of everything the Zedla team has learned to make the series grow and become better . BotW is a show case and celebration of what games can now achieve some 30 years later.
LttP is a great-looking game which has withstood the test of time. BotW hasn't even faced the next game to come out yet, let alone the test of decades. BotW is the game of the minute, OoT is the game of the hour, but LttP is the game of ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME!

Look, like it or not, OoT came out nearly 20 years ago and it set the tone for the more recent formula. Most Zelda fans who have enjoyed the 3D titles have done so based on a formula that OoT provided. BotW attempts to bring Zelda back to it's roots, to a game 30 years old. I personally enjoy it. It's not remotely hard to see why so many people claim that BotW is a great game, but not a Zelda game. If you didn't get into Zelda before the past 20 years, then BotW IS a change from the formula of what makes a Zelda game a Zelda game for that person.
And OoT took heavily from the concepts that LttP introduced into the game, so much so that it was being called a 3D remake of LttP at the time (which didn't make sense but, you know, exaggerations). It created a lot of the standards, including the Master Sword and the hookshot. ---
