Bullshit Horizon wasn't built as a Zelda killer it came out around the same time as BOTW if anything it was Sony's take on Ubisoft open world games.

You say that with such confidence like there was no Zelda game before BotW. Go look at all the articles, videos calling it the Zelda killer. Then look at all the outrage why BotW won GOY.  

The one thing you are right on yes they came out at about the same time so what Horizon was, was never going to be a direct battle against BotW but it's predecessors. I would argue not many people thought BotW would be such a significant leap from the previous game that it surprised many when it come out

I say it with confidence because you said Horizon was built as a Zelda killer without any facts to back up your statement, the horizon connection with Zelda revolves around BOTW and the fact they came out around the same time with both being open worlds games it was never referred to as the Zelda killer by anyone involved most of the horizon talk was about Guerrilla's move away from FP shooter Killzone to a 3rd person open world adventure game and whether they could pull it off no one was comparing it to the 3D style Zelda's like Twilight Princess and Skywards Sword, the Zelda discussion started with BOTW because you had two new open world games from Sony and Nintendo that came out together with both being big hits for their respective publishers.
