I got bashed by saying that Zelda also copied a lot of mechanics from previous games, which is true. And a lot of what BOTW did simply improves on previous mechanics from other games, which is true. But some of this stuff in this game is shameless in how they got a bit too inspired.
Personally I think it looks much better than BOTW Visually, combat seems a bit more interesting but the physics system, runes, and overall complexity of the game engine aren't there. But it's highly obvious how they were heavily inspired by BOTW, almost to an uncomfortable level. I personally don't care, the more games like BOTW the better and again BOTW didn't invent gliding, swimming, climbing (although the climbing animations look like they just ripped the data from Link's Animations) etc. But it did it well and this game seems to want to take what Zelda did...and not change much.
