As I said, "I find most big budget Western titles to be trash."  I'll probably give Witcher 3 a try at some point though.  I've never played a game from CD Project Red and I think they've fixed any bugs it had.  But Cyberpunk 2077 would fall into the trash category.

When I'm saying Elden Ring is already "game of the decade", I mean it's my personal game of the decade.  I already doubt I'll find another game before 2030 that I like better except maybe Elden Ring 2.  I would love for some developer to prove me wrong, but I'm skeptical it will happen.

You asked what was the last game with high budget that take risks before Zelda and I merely listed them.

Why would anyone consider Skyrim to be trash is beyond me, probably neither Zelda nor Elden Ring would exist, at least in the way we now see them, without a game like Skyrim coming generations years before  

No.  I asked what was the last game with a big budget that takes risks and is well executed.  Elder Scrolls games are trash.  Rockstar games are decent but highly overrated.  I'll withhold judgement on Witcher 3, because I haven't played an CD Project Red games.  (It may be good, but I just haven't played it.)  Those other 2 games, I know are not well executed according to my tastes.  I mean, I made it pretty clear I'm just talking about my tastes.

Also, you and I have very different definitions of what "taking risks" is.  IMO, GTA 3 is the Rockstar game that took risks.  All of their other open world games were refinements and/or mild variations on the formula.  Skyrim is also a refinement on the Elder Scrolls formula.  BotW was a reboot of the Zelda formula and not just a refinement.  It took risks.  I don't expect BotW2 to reboot the formula.  I expect it to be some variation and/or refinement of BotW.  Dark Souls 3 is also not a game that I would say took risks.  It was a fun game that I enjoyed a lot, but it was also basically what I expected from a Dark Souls game.  Elden Ring is From Software trying something way out of their personal comfort zone (and it is also not a clone of some other game).  They are reinventing what a Souls game is.  That is what I mean by "taking risks".
