Zelda's literally feeling remorse for having put some random kid through hell to fix a stupid mistake she made as a kid herself.

I think you could move the statement over to is Zelda overrated, or has it become overrated? I feel like Ocarina is the melting point for the series. They released a brilliant title, but the unfortunate precedent it sets for following titles I think will be it's ultimate legacy, in addition to the godlike music.
You have two releases that follow that are often described as antithetical to OoT and brought arise to an age of divisive opinions on the series and for the first time, real critical perspective. People tend to forget that in the age of LttP and OoT, they were unquestioned truths. It wasn't until MM and WW that people began to express differing opinions.
It is born of this unrest that gave birth to the last two console titles, TP and SS. Two titles that try so hard to be OoT 2, that they lack their own definitive identity. Their dedication to imitation is what makes their lack of charm so glaring. They want to be OoT, but it sorely lacks anything as charming as Gerudo Valley or Song of Storms. They bring some small quality of life improvements, but they are outshone by imprecise motion controls. What you are left with is a very unfulfilling imitation of (once) greatness.
The unreasonable, nostalgia fueled standard the game has set will be it's forever lasting legacy. With the burden of blame on the audience for their inability to accept anything that doesn't appear to be the same, and the developers for their willingness to cater to the complainer class. It will remain this way until they both grow up and let OoT be OoT and Zelda move on.

I'm tapped out. Hopefully, there is something of use to Anon amidst that imagedump of schlock. Have a great day, /vr/.
