Well the first mainstream one. No one knows Ultima.

objection

Ultima was mainstream at the time and for a good 20 years

I present a new case..

An open world is a level or game designed as a nonlinear, vast open area with many ways to reach an objective.

LoZ was the first true open world 'game' because it was nonlinear.

case closed

.. which isn't really related to my post,as I commented on "no one knows Ultima" - shouldn't be too hard to understand if you read my post
