Not everyone calls it the best game ever. For me, that honor rests with Super Metroid.

For most people, the meat of the game and the reason that it was so good was not because of the difficulty, towns, or the enemies in the main field. It was because of the plot and the fact that it took the step into 3-D, essentially defining what good adventure games should be like. The combat worked surprisingly well, the graphics were way better than any Final Fantasy at the time, and everything gameplay-wise worked perfectly. It introduced the Zelda universe in a new fashion that blew pretty much every other adventure game made up to that point clear out of the water. OoT was a truly genre-defining game.

That being said, it seriously ****ed up the timeline. That's really my only complaint with the game.
