Seriously though, 'which came first' is not an accolade at all. It's akin to going around the internet, posting "first" on many threads for 15 minutes of fame.
The best way to put it is asking 'which became popular first', and that's what matters in the long end. And to try "countering" Zelda by presenting Hydlide makes me feel like you're underestimating logistics and advertising (which is a talk for another time). All in all, being popular IS also a good thing, especially if it's a product we're talking about. Things don't get popular for nothing.
'Good for its time' is not an excuse nor should be used as such - it's rather a reminder that at the time, the game could meet people's expectations and be highly influential despite newer games being objectively more well thought due to N reasons.
To be upset about this is kinda.... I don't know. It's rather absurd.
