I agree with that, but the distance detailing shouldn't be much hard considering that the resolution allows loss of detail fairly nearby. GOW 3 didn't have vast open worlds but the worlds it did have were all very highly detailed, just look at the titans, millions of polygons moving as one entity, that is very impressive and something you do not see in open world games. Also as they were all at a fairly close or very close range they were highly detailed.

Killzone 3 is maybe even more hardware intensive according to you because the game did allow some exploration and freedom of movement and was incredibly detailed. Both GOW 3 and Killzone 3 have a lot more enemies too and Killzone 3 has very advanced AI. That is a very CPU intensive game.

Killzone 3 is indeed an incredibly technically demanding game for its hardware, with very impressive texturing, shading, geometry, and post-processing. It's one of the best looking games of the 7th gen, in my opinion.

Still though, it's a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison to pit a linear action game against a massive open world one. As a more contained experience, Killzone 3 has the luxury of being able to focus its rendering budget into a smaller area.

A more like-for-like point of comparison for Breath of the Wild would be similar open world titles on PS3/360, like Skyrim or Far Cry 2/3/4.

I agree that Killzone 3 looks really amazing, its graphics are probably the best I've played on PS3 after GOW 3 and Ascension, but it also has a bit more open levels, much more advanced AI, which probably is required more in shooting games, and physics but it doesn't run at the 40-50fps that both GOW games run at.

On topic Skyrim is a terrible comparison to make, the game looks much worse than any other big release of that year on PS3 and 360. Far Cry 3 looks good but probably doesn't take advantage of either console's capability like an exclusive game like BOTW does and even then games like Batman Arkham City and GTA V look better while also open world. And I do think both look better than BOTW, but its hard to compare these games.
