People are more than welcome not to like BotW, I won't dispute personal preference, but I wanted to provide an example of what I am talking about.

There is an enemy camp in a valley between two mountains, I can (as the player):

Run in the camp and fight the enemies
Climb the mountains and go around
Light the field on fire and use thermal energy to fly over
Use a platform, tie balloons and fly over
Use a platform, load bombs, fly over the camp and shot the balloons to drop bombs
I can put on stealth armor and sneak through the camp
But on enemy armor and blend in
Use fire arrows and set the camp on fire
If there is water I can put on electric armor and shock the enemies
Statsis a rock and fly over the camp
If there is a storm, put metal weapons around the camp and shock the enemies
I can use a metal crate via telekinesis to use it as a ram and shield
Ice arrows to freeze enemies and just run past
Use a horse to run past
Create a multitude of distractions (such as blowing up trees)
Blow up boulders and have them crush the enemies
Shoot a metal box with electric arrows, shock enemies
Use bomb arrows
Stasis enemies
Push enemies that can't swim in water to kill them
Build a catapult to fly over the camp
Build a catapult to bomb enemies
If on a hill I can shield surf through the camp

Having played hundreds of games... I just have not played a game with a physics engine allowing for so many options. And I am probably missing quite a few options.
