It certainly isn't mature. 

It's an adult game. Consider yourself the autority on maturity all you want, but this doesn't change that Zelda compared to GTA is like Disney compared to Scarface.

Horizon looks to be more adult in its theme, presentation, and by the way it grounds its world in realism. Zelda has always been more like a faity tale kind of thing, and has barely ever pushed adult/mature themes, be it through its presentation, execution, storytelling, psychology of its characters, etc. Zelda games are made to be accessible for the entire family, and the end result has always reflected that. 

In no way does Zelda not being an adult/mature game equals to it being an inferior experience. So I suggest you leave the defensive behaviour behind.

I think people are definitely getting their labels wrong, because nothing I've seen of Horizon paints it as a more mature and a realistic game! It has a very different visual aesthetic yes, but chasing and killing robo-dinos doesn't mean realistic. Horizon has a weather system but it has no effect on gameplay situations,  yet BoTW has a very interactive world where the physics govern gameplay in a realistic manner and where the weather system will effect gameplay decision as they would in real life!

It's not a knock at Horizon but Nintendo is going for a completely different experience than what Guerrilla Games is for their title.
