Breath of the Wild 2 will take place in the same Hyrule.

I thought it was self explanatory why I wasn't talking about people who had not played ALTTP.

The concerns about BOTW2 taking place in the same world primarily come from people who have already experienced BOTW's world recently.
The person I responded to presented A Link Between World as an example of a game where those concerns would supposedly be unfounded. But it does not.
For the people who played the previous game recently, BOTW2 does not have the nostalgia factor of revisiting a place you saw in your childhood again after 20+ years, re-imagined in much more advanced graphics. And beccaue BOTW2 takes place seemingly shortly after BOTW, it's possible the geographical differences (of the areas you revisit) due to the passing of time will be more modest.

For people who haven't played the original BOTW, or ALTTP, it's a different situation.
I know that A Link Between Worlds was a good game in its own right. But for me, experiencing that Hyrule again after 20+ years was a huge factor as well on top of that. That would not be the case if that game released on SNES a few years after ALTTP.

The counter argument to this is that GTA has been revisiting places for years the's a 4 year gap between GTA3, LCS and GTA4 yet those games had no issue revisiting the same location this is why the nostalgia argument isn't really solid because this shows revisiting the same place has never been an issue with out any nostalgia factor and these games don't have long time gaps in the story either even a few years can warrant significant changes.

The person you responded to is not wrong in what they say as even if the game as I've played ALTTP and returning to the same Hyrule wasn't a factor for me it was how they made the experience new.

Edit: You're making assumptions now on BOTW2 saying the aren't any changes this is similar to people claiming the wouldn't be towns when they saw the first game.
