I'm not really commenting on how the actual game was, just the hype building up to it. Nintendo consistently teaches a masterclass on hyping their IPs. Whether or not the game was good, or worth the money, is an opinion beside the point.
In the same vein, people call starfield "fallout but in space" and "fast travel simulator 2023". There are plenty of things to criticize there too. But I honestly think the reason those criticisms weren't taken in stride like totk was is because of all of bad hype surrounding the release. People expected a lot more.
