I don't think TOTK will review as well as BOTW due to the high bar factor, what I mean is people didn't know what to expect in BOTW especially following prior games which had a different execution of adventuring in Hyrule with gated dungeons and such all we knew was that it was going to be fully open world, many expected it'd be like TP only with an open world and maybe some elements of recent games until that E3 started showing something different was on the way. Rather than the recent games of the times BOTW went back to the original NES game and focused on the free adventuring aspect of it and expanded on that in a way not really seen in any game using the concept of emergent gameplay rather than get item A to go to location B, like it or not it's a direction that caught everyone off guard, with TOTK people now have a rough idea of what's coming on a basic level at least we know emergent gameplay with some good level freedom is on the cards.

The game will still review well maybe 96 average or so but I'm not sure if it'll match BOTW but it'll be close.
