Your argument is very flimsy as you flat out admit that the are things it doesn't cover then come back with "But but you can still do this", I've played all the FC games BOTW has an equivalent for most if not all you can do in them and far more.

FC on the otherhand has no answer for many of the things in Zelda, you can't fully manipulate the physics in FC, you can't use an enemy's body parts as weapons in FC, you can't store kinetic energy in boulders grab on to them and ride them as they fly off in FC, you can't burn the ground to cause an updraft jump off you horse for height and use the updraft to fly in FC, you can't manipulate gravity to move or throw objects at enimies in FC etc... Sorry but FC doesn't even come close to what you can do in BOTW.

All these things relate to the magic setting that is of course Zelda specific. I also haven't said that Far Cry is better. I only said that all open world games have their flaws and things they do better than BOTW. BOTW still has flaws that all in all bog it down to the level of other open world games that do some things better but have different flaws.

You said it yourself, it's about the sum of the things and if you factor everything in BOTW it's not better or worse than other open world games. At least for me but apparently I have a weird taste and put more emphasis on certain things that others don't mind.

It's also weird that you praise the realistic physics and then go on about the completely unrealistic amount of updraft from small fires.

Again excuses, you've been given examples of things that aren't done in other open worlds and the only response is an excuse, we're not talking about what game is better either as that was never even mentioned in any context we're talking about which world you can do more in and BOTW wins that by a landslide which is a major reason the majority of people playing it are enjoying the game and why critics praised it.

You're also rattle as you're mixing up someone else's reply with mine I didn't talk about realistic physics per say and even then being able to manipulated them in unrealistic ways doesn't undermine the person's point. Sorry end of the day FC doesn't even compare to what you can do in BOTW and I don't care for excuses either.
