I haven't played Morrowind or even watched a second of gameplay. Things were constantly being revealed in BotW that blew my mind, though. A few examples off the top of my head:
-I couldn't find a second orb to power some device so I just laid down some metal weapons and they actually conducted electricity
-I was fighting a giant creature in a thunder storm and had a weak weapon. I threw my weapon an the creature and he was struck by lightning
-trying to navigate a sphere through some maze, I totally bypassed the maze, put the sphere on a piece of metal, and levitated the metal to where I wanted the sphere to go.
BotW has its standard "A to B" route but it also gives you a great physics engine, some tools, and some abilities and tells you to have a blast. Basically, if you can think of it, it'll probably work. That's pretty awesome. I'm sure other games can do this but it felt pretty fresh to me when I approached Zelda.
I'll find some vids on Morrowind. I might just end up buying it! I like when games don't feel totally scripted. However, we are getting a little off track. It's turning into BotW vs Morrowind instead of "Greatest Launch Title of All Time".
