TP actually DID change the "formula" if you want to call it that.
In TP, the game starts slow, prior to anything happening for several days, in every previous Zelda, the game starts right as a kidnapping or a theft or the death of an ancient tree occurs.
TP is linear, forcing you to follow the path laid beforee you (Head back and forth through Ordon Forest killing bugs, then go to kakariko and repeat thrice), as soon as you leave Kokiri Forest in Ocarina, the world is open to your leisure and whim. WW and MM are similar to each other, rigid, but somewhat open.
TP shuffles you from the end of one dungeon almost immediately into another with little to do in between, thus the dungeon-crawler feel.
