Hmm, after recently buying the Switch myself, I can see how the exploratory aspects of Zelda appeal more to certain gamers. Horizon's design, though, is hardly limiting, and though I tend to wander more in Zelda, I also tend to accomplish quite a bit less and end up backtracking around the map quite a bit more. Horizon does push you back, but it feels like a much more organic world than most other recent open-world games (save for BOTW), and the boundaries have yet to bother me much. 

Mostly because of the combat, I prefer Horizon more. Both are exemplary games, Horizon just apppeals to my interests a tad bit more (not that I think either game will be universally "better" to gamers than the other, they're both fantastic).
