Breath of the Wild is a legit 3/10 that did next to nothing well, it wasn't innovative at all, had no influence on the genre and was a poor game from both a Zelda standpoint and an open world standpoint.

It was only reviewed well due to not having a mainline Zelda game for so long and the fun experience of it being a launch title on a revolutionary portable home console.

Ubisoft would have been ripped to shreds for making BOTW

>The open world itself is one of the best ever created.

I'd argue it's one of the worst.

There's absolutely nothing of interest in it, it has excellent transversal mechanics which allow you to get around the world in a fun way.

But it's so barren and lacking in things to explore I don't know why you'd want to.

"Oh look it's one of the same 5 types of enemies copy and pasted over there"

"Omg it's the exact same ruins I saw 20 minutes ago"!

"Are you kidding me? Another shrine wow! I wonder if it has the same reward as the last 93 shrines I found?'

I can't wait to explore to try and find my 718th Korok seed.

It's the kind of Open world Ubisoft would get absolutely torn to shreds over.

It's really odd.

Especially as BOTW is one of the least innovative games of all time.

It literally did nothing new, it didn't push any boundaries or change anything up.

Nintendo just threw a Zelda skin on another generic and bland empty open world.
