Well, first reaction is, wow this is ugly :) Yet after you get past the tutorial stage (BotW really did modernize that part) and are free to go anywhere you do feel like you're inside the game. The ability to freely look anywhere and use you hands independently to aim and pick up what you want brings it home.
It's far from perfect, it clearly was never designed with VR in mind which leads to some amusing side effects. (Like sticking your head through a wall and pulling the open door lever on the other side, or being able to fire 5 arrows per sec with a bit of practice leaving you wondering what the faster fire rate perk is going to do) Graphical glitches, low res textures and pop in stand out much more in VR, yet you get so much immersion back you don't want to go back to playing in 4K HDR with all the best mods in the world. That is, if it doesn't make you sick... Not a good game to start with in VR, but you could be among the lucky that have no issues at all with motion sickness.
It really does feel like you're entering the game. I still get that anticipation when a VR game is loading waiting for the world to appear all around me. Beam me up Scotty!
