Zelda because it was so unbelievably ahead of its time. It was open world back when most games were basic arcade with little level design.

I have to give it to Zelda as well. Not only was it ahead of its time at release, it's still ahead of its time with the freedom and physics system in TotK. Plus Zelda comes closest to playing a Studio Ghibli game, so I'm biased towards Zelda from recognizing Hayao Miyazaki's influence in its designs and art style.

Yeah I was blown away by being able to go most anywhere and how you could skip rooms in dungeons.  It was just something never done before.  It is still a good game today
