Yes. BotW and TotK departed very dramatically from what consumers would expect from Zelda. TotK was a bit closer but still was not the same. I suppose another way to say it is “true Zelda” or “pure Zelda,” but it is all the same meaning.
BotW, and to a lesser degree TotK, is to Zelda what Star Fox Adventures is to Star Fox. Not necessarily a bad game, but when someone talks about Star Fox, or “real Star Fox” they are not referring to Star Fox Adventures because it deviated so drastically from the expected gameplay of a Star Fox game.
