FF16 has towns, and VA for even minor NPCs.

TOTK also reuses a lot from BOTW, and neither has much variety of unique assets or much at all in the way of VA/cutscenes/etc.

It has two if you're being generous, way less than Zelda or Rebirth, or the other open-world AAAs. Besides most of the sidequest dialogue is not voiced.

Regardless of TOTK assets, it took 6 years to develop vs. 4 for Rebirth, which is the point here. Neither game is the ceiling of ambition but they're probably very close budget-wise.

Pretty sure when I played through it sidequest dialogue was mostly voiced in FF16, whereas BOTW/TOTK had comparatively very little VA. There's more than two towns/settlements as well, can't remember their names but there was plenty of times we'd get to one and have a bunch of NPCs with side content to do.

TOTK was also basically complete by March 2022, they spent the last 14 months in QA/polish, so most of the team was finished: https://www.gamesradar.com/zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-was-basically-finished-before-its-year-long-delay/
