Zelda: Breath of the Wild Can Be Beaten Without Completing the Story

You got it the wrong way around. He's not saying that you can end the story without the main quest. He's saying you won't get the full story without the side quests. Which is the case for pretty much all RPGs though.

Elsewhere they said you can go straight to the final boss at the start. I'm not saying this is objectively good (in my OPINION it is), but it's clearly about as far from the usual linear experience Zelda has offered in really every game following the original.

At the very least, it sounds very, very different from the usual RPG at this point; perhaps more akin to a Bethesda RPG.

If you can skip right to the final dungeon that would make all other dungeons optional. Seems fun for speed runners but we all know that no one plays open world games that way^^
