It might gotten lower than 88 rating it currently sitting at metacitic/opencritic/gameranking with the final impression of both series by major gaming media and website.
Here a few list of what major press like IGN,gamespot,gameinformer and kotaku talk about the major differences between two that should put HZD to lower than it currently at.
-Scripted world compared to more dynamic BOTW world
-Interactivity in HZD world is minimal compared to BOTW vast world interaction
-Turn off your brain and go from point A to point B because there's nothing happen in between unlike BOTW where you can go straight from point A to point Z and ignoring completely point B,C,D,E and so on.
-Melee combat is shallow with only one type of weapon
-Stealth section is laughable with completely dismissing noise detection mechanics compared to Zelda BOTW
-Minimal combat approach needed in HZD against Zelda BOTW dynamic approaches with Terrain,weather,physics,weapon,wild animal and a lot more ways to defeats your opponent
-Human AI
my prediction if HZD has been reviewed after BOTW it's probably gonna end up the same metascore as The last Guardian, ok game that come every year and nothing revolutionary about that compared to BOTW game of the generation or perhaps Game of all time candidate with open world perfection it brings to the gaming industry.
