Before people think that I'm a OoT "fanboy"... no, I'm not. Actually, I didn't like OoT that much (very strange and rare opinion, I know 
). In my eyes, there is no perfect Zelda game (not TP, not WW, not the GBs or the NESs, none is perfect). I think, there is no perfect game at all (there is at least in every game something, that will cause probelms and issues).
A score like 98% is weird to me... It's weird, that the games where rated really extremely good, despite having some major issues (Twilight Princess comes to mind at this). I kinda think it's a bit unrealistic, that the Zelda games move only in the > 85% rating range (excluding the CD-I games and spinoffs, obviously).
To give a example, this is the rating from gamefags (and a lot of other sites actually move around similar rating ranges):
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 99%
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 98%
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker 96%
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii) 95%
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D 94%
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds 91%
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass 90%
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D 89%
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks 87%
...
Some games here and there in between...
I mean, Zelda is a good franchise and the games where not bad (medicore would be too harsh), but nearly 100%? It makes me wounder, how these scores are being determined sometimes. When is a game rated exactly 100%? I don't know...
Botw is properly a good game (glitches aside), but it's hard to say, that it would be a "nearly perfect game" (like most of the other Zeldas). I will wait a bit, until the Switch hype calmed down (properly a Switch 2.0, or something like that, will being released at that time) and then I will give the Switch+Zelda another look.
