Breath of the Wild really deserves to be on top of that list in my opinion. It's the best game I've ever played. Tears of the Kingdom got close, but there is something magical about just walking through the open world in BotW. I think Tears is a weaker game precisely because it gives you all those fast and easy methods to travel. There are so many ways to traverse the game world in a short time, or alternatively just mark a spot on the map and glide towards it after being shot from a tower, that it diminishes the open world. Breath was a much slower, calmer experience. It felt very tranquil most of the time and the game world had more of an impact. I hope Nintendo recaptures that magic with the next entry. It was enough to wait almost 20 years for OoT to be dethroned. I don't want to wait another 20 years for them to top BotW.
