Didn't read the discussion in this thread yet, so somebody else might have said this, but personally the fact that BOTW and TOTK actually have non-trivial physics systems that make the world feel alive > eye-candy, in terms of immersion in my opinion. I hope other open-world games learn from this.
If graphics are a big concern, buy the game to support Nintendo and then use an emulator on a gaming PC with texture packs and 4k resolution. Yuzu runs games pretty great a week or two after release.
Edit: I see somebody mention BOTW vs. Horizon Zero Dawn. I love Horizon, but the fact that BOTW actually had a dynamic physics system makes it feel more modern to me than Horizon does, despite how good Horizon looks.
One still feels like the future of open world games whereas the other feels like a cinematic experience from the 2010's. The prior is going to age and has already aged better than the latter, for me.
