After zelda, i think there are new standard from what we can expect from open world
it can truly be a masterpiece for a game pre-zelda. luckily it release a little earlier.
But it could have been even better.

I really hope all games for now use the new zelda standard for open world.

Interesting comparison videos.  I think if you cherrypick it's easy to also find many things Horizon does very well that BoTW lacks, for example climbing in Horizon is like an Uncharted; climbing in BoTW looks like an N64 game.

huh? just ignore that post ICStats, this is not a Zelda thread, just ignore it please, you are not making it better.
