so the witcher and mass effect are not rpg games???? |
The witcher is iffy, there is still enough customization with regards to Geralt (you can choose to focus on different combat roles and progression) that I'd say it is an RPG. Most of the role-playing is in the story - you choose how you interact with the world and what kind of person you are. Mass Effect allows you to choose the role and appearance of Shepard, so I'd call it an rpg quite obviously. But if that isn't enough, it allows you to interact with the world via different story options. It allows you to determine who Shepard is.
Does Breath of the Wild have a skill tree, story choices, or an option to differentiate character progression at all? No. Then it is hard for me to call it a role-playing game. It is an action-adventure through and through.
