I think it's great for the exact same reason FFVII was considered a great game.
Little kids who grew up playing 2D versions of both series' suddenly play a game from that series that's in 3D, so it's the first time you feel really immersed in the world you're playing.
Eh I think it's more then that. Yes Zelda raised the bar for it's time in a big way, but I also think the game itself was simply a good game. FF7 in my opinion is more of a glossed over 2D game that just had graphics there for show... Zelda's 3Dness was actually used to make the gameplay itself different from older Zelda games. That's why Zelda OoT hasn't aged as bad as FF7 has.
