The important thing isn't the score itself, but the fact that it's A) the highest score the magazine has given, even higher than other AAA Nintendo titles, and B) outright calls the game the best Zelda ever. They didn't do THAT for Twilight Princess (and only a couple of publications did).
Also, 35x2=70, which fits into the 50-100 range.
EDIT: And Twilight Princess took me almost exactly 50 hours to beat, doing a little bit of optional content (but not much).
