because oot's fanbase are ignorant zealots. they arent zelda fans, they're oot fans. they're stuck in the past and blinded by nostalgia, incapable of rational thought.
also, somebody made the funny observation that everyone that sucks off oot like that comes from a troubled/traumatized past or home life. like the game was there for them more than their probably divorced parents were. it was their escape and safe place, so its there to fill the void. they feel compelled to defend it.
