It absolutely is not the same game, at all. Elements like Ultrahand and Fuse fundamentally change and expand the gameplay, the world has been overhauled and added to, it is its own game in every way that matters.
Nuts and Bolts did not invent building mechanics either, that's like saying Baldur's Gate does nothing new because other games have made RPG elements before.

Most sequels, at least the ones the dev cared enough, have a lot of new elements/mechanics, so this doesn't change his point. Although I can agree from the videos I saw that TOTK is really very different than BOTW. |
His point is wrong; TOTK isn't just more of the same, the potential of Ultrahand and what can be done with it alone extends way beyond the additions made to most sequels.
