Have you played the original Legend of Zelda? Windwaker? Do you like both? Then you should be good. The game is really just a mesh of those two games. It is non-linear in terms of gameplay, and open-world in the same sense Windwaker is (except with land and not just water/islands.) The combat system is pulled from the temporary items you would use in the stealth portion of Windwaker when you lost your sword.
One way in which BoTW is different from other open-world games is that it puts all of its bags into exploration, and much less into checklists.
The learning curve for the game is also very different from other open-world games. It is complex, but in an emergent sort of way (you don't have to know everything from the start.
Anyway, it is really hard to compare, but I'd say give it a try.
