That's what happened to me. I already was getting heavily invested in Horizon, played it until I went to the midnight launch to pick up Switch + Zelda. Played some more while downloading patches on the Switch and kinda forgot to check if it was done yet lol. Started Zelda at 2 am, haven't played Horizon since...
They're both awesome games, yet BotW is definitely more epic. Metacritic got it right this time, 88 vs 98, accurate imo. The freedom in Zelda beats Horizon. It's too early to compare the stories though, Horizon started off pretty intrigueing. I haven't even looked at the story in Zelda after 16 hours of play time. Superior exploration wins.
At least I know I have the perfect rebound game waiting for me when I exhaust Breath of the Wild.
