for those saying this is a copy of BOTW..... watch that video of the game, look at how every single area the character is running around looks like boxed in area's   WHICH ARE ALMOST ALL COMPLETELY FLAT, have you guys not seen any footage even of Breath of the Wild? There is a small handful of area's in the whole game which are in any way flattened out and those are very outstanding in how they have been protected from the calamity.

The fighting mechanics in this game look way closer to a dynasty warriors type title than anything seen in breath of the wild, again I think you would need to have only ever seen a screenshot 2 years ago to think this game is a copy paste of botw... the only thing which you could say was the same or similar is the grass effect on the ground, but if that and the semi cell shaded look is where the similarities end then you might want to take a look at games like Cel Damage which is 100% a copy paste of WindWaker.... as long as you disregard the fact that Cel Damage is a multiplayer vehicular deathmatch type game.... it's exactly windwaker!

To add to your comment, this company (mihoyo) has been using this colorful cel shaded anime graphic style for a while now, for example their previous game (Honkai Impact 3rd) also uses this exact same graphic style, the only difference is that its set on a futuristic sci fi setting so the similarities to BOTW are not apparent, however of course if they take this to a fantasy medieval setting its gonna look similar.

But you wanna know what the kicker is? this game was released BEFORE BOTW in 2016, so they have been using this exact same colorful cel shaded graphic style before BOTW came out.

Knowing this i do not see this as them blatantly copying BOTW graphic style, but obviously they are just continuing to work with the same graphic style they have been using for years now, obviously now on a new setting.
