I was never impressed by it, I am not the biggest fan of the art-style and I think games like The Witcher have done open world better, but I think it still looks good and will be good because Nintendo has never delivered a bad Zelda game.

And not only that, usually open world rpgs are slow games full of convoluted menus where you spend a lot of your time and the gameplay is mostly based on reading the insane amount of text the npcs gaves you and then go to fight against enemies with a combat that feels pretty meh. In comparison a Zelda game is way more dynamic and fun to play, combat is fun, controls are good, menus are simple and intuitive, no walls of text around every corner and more variety on the gameplay thanks to the items and the dungeons full of smart puzzles, then there is the special degree of freedom that the interactions with nature gives you in this new one, there hasn't been an open world of this kind before, it may be a combination from thing we have already seen, but we've never seen it this way in one game.

Beating Witcher 3 is a hard task for sure, but why on earth cant it be better than Horizon as you put it? 

Graphics. The answer is always graphics.

Only because everything else is the same. So why wouldn't graphics be the deciding factor?

Cause that's false. 

To those who are comparing BoTW to Witcher 3, are we talking about the full game of the Witcher 3 or a demo that we saw sometime ago? If we're taking about the full game, then we should at least see what BoTW would look like in its full form with all the NPCs, dungeons, story, etc. We barely scratched the surface with this upcoming game even with all the exposure at E3 this year. I'm not sure Nintendo is one to just give everything out there for any of their games, especially Zelda. On a technical side, sure Witcher has all the PS4/Xbone tech going for it. But let's pump the breaks for now until we see more of Zelda. Personally, I'm just impressed by the feeling of adventure for this new Zelda. It feels like new energy and a return to roots to the original game that started it all for sandbox/open world games. And it's still Nintendo, you know the one who's mascot just made a cameo in the hand off in the closing ceremonies on one of, if not the biggest international stage in our history? They have not let me down with their biggest games yet and with the enthusiasm of their developers, I'm with them.

Not yet.

I was never impressed. It would take alot of persuading to ever get me to play another Zelda game after my disappointment with OoT.

For a Nintendo game? Definitely. But as a game in general its not that hugely impressive, especially after playing the Witcher 3.
