Suit yourself, I guess. People seem to forget that Ultima is arguably most influental video game IP ever made (albeit not most popular), and there are tons of good reasons for that. So, yeah, Ultima had those things you're attributing to BotW as new and first at least some 30 years ago.

I won't dispute Ultima's impact.  But BotW interactions is based on physics engine, which Ultimate absolutely did not have.  Play BotW and it becomes obvious just how impactful the physics engine is.  

I like physics in games as part of gameplay, but, IMO, game needs to be built around it, not like BotW physics that is sorely limited by what devs allowed to be or not influenced by it. I've played through BotW, then I had to sit and watch my older son's playthrough, and neither time I thought of BotW as anything more than just a solid game with lot of flaws. And that comes from someone who loves Zelda and loves openworld games since 80s.
