At this point there's not really a genre that looks alien to anyone in the west like they once did. Focusing on originality is the surest way to get some attention. |
In the case of BOTW, it provides enough twists that keeps it fresh in the crowded open-world genre. The allowance to choose your own waypoints when most open-world games tell you to go to this spot in the map is a simple, but rather effective twist.
