Combat of Zelda is usually pretty good and this looks like an evolution form the best games of the franchise in that regard and with way more variety than before, so right now we know the combat is gonna be good almost for sure, nobody has played an Horizon game before however, how can some people be so sure is better when there is no reference? And scale? Have you seen the scale of the new Zelda? The whole area they are showing, wich is really big is just like a 10% of the entire game, is absolutely huge going by the map comparison they showed.

It doesn't matter if the combat in Zelda is improving, if still isn't on par with Horizon combat.
Scale doesn't mean map scale, but the scales of the things around while you play, like in GoW, small maps but huge ass enemies, gave a LOT of scale sensation, and it's the same on Horizon with it's enemies, as I mentioned, they are very dynamic and impressive.

Graphics were actually the only subjective thing, even as Horizon graphics are superior, point, Zelda has a different art style and I could see people feeling more impressed with it as that's bound to taste. Funny this was the point you tried to throw me into to be defensive, lol.

As I said, there is nothing on this Zelda that tops or is on par with Horizon on the WOW factor, there is not even a comparison.

Which doesn't mean one will be better than the other, as this is not the topic of this thread.

The thing is, Zelda isn't meant to be played the same way as Horizon, so I don't think comparing the combat is really fair. Zelda aims to give you multiple ways to fight using the environment and your skills (magic powers and whatnot) making it more of a playground or puzzle. Horizon on the other hand is much more of a pure action game where you run around avoiding attacks and shooting.

Zelda is generally meant to be played slower and more creatively while Horizon is meant to be fast action.

I don't think it is anywhere close to correct to say that most of these things can be compared objectively...
