Because it had a Z-Buffer and had a real 3D hardware with perspective correction and a fixed floating point, you could make huge polygons with real world metrics and produce big entire levels that could read instantly from the higher cartridge bandwidth(50mbi/s) against 300kb/s from at much higher latency from the ps1 shitty optical drive.
That's why Soul Reaver used a simple audio codec since the bandwidth was necessary to pre stream the rooms of the game , the N64 cart could even be used as RAM like factor 5 did with their games.

Zelda OOT and Mario 64 defined what a could 3D game be , I prefer the tight good N64 library over any shit disc based games full of shovelware
