Fair enough, it is after all a matter of personal preference.

For me, a game that fires my imagination and expands the horizons of the medium will nearly always beat out a game that executes an already proven formula really well.

Not sure about expanding the horizons of the medium, but I'm definitely one for games that fire up my imagination, and in that sense Odyssey really did it for me. Of course, it's a different kind of imagination - BotW would be more actually intellectual, Odyssey is just more of a sense of wonder and excitement. I felt like I was on a real adventure across the world, and that's a feeling I rarely got from BotW (whereas most other Zelda games had it in spades).

I think they're different kinds of impressive: Odyssey is laser sharp and ultra polished, while Zelda is deep and multifaceted.
