this is why the open world of breath of the wild is special.

You can just over tables/objects in many games. 

Their are many other games where you can go to places that you see, skyrim/far cry to name a few. Seeing a mountain far away and climbing it isn't anything new.

You're describing many other games, looks like you haven't played any open world games recently. 

Not really, open world games these days are static and you can't alter the environment for new gameplay possibilities, the only recent game that does similar stuff like that is watch dogs 2 and is kinda limited. On breath of the wild you can push a rock from the beginning of the game all the way to the final boss (just an example) Yeah I can destroy a table on the witcher 3, but can I use that same table to kill enemies or to float on a river?

Those are all puzzle elements, they don't forever alter the enviorment. Trees go back after being cut down, so do plants and other items. 

It doesn't make it diffrent then other open world games, it's just a specific gameplay feature, just like other games having magic/bases/classes/dialouge options and much more. 

I'm not saying the game doesn't have any unique elements, it just doesn't blow away the open world concept.
