I think modern gaming deserves criticism in a lot of ways, but there are still masterpieces being made.

Also comparing any Zelda to MM is a bit unfair. MM is inferior to most Zeldas in quite a few ways, but people love it because it has a level of story, characterization and world-building the rest of the series doesn't even try to do. It's not a better Zelda in the classic Zelda sense, it's an unique work of art.

If you want the perfect Zelda experience you should look for something like Zelda 1/LttP/OoT/TP/BotW, while MM is more like a spin-off.
