I have it. It's great, but the combat isn't in the same stratosphere as Horizons. I actually don't find the controls overall to be nearly as intuitive.

I think you are being hyperbolic, BoTW combat not only feels great but also allows for many creative approaches to combat and it has a degree of strategy an a huge attention to detail.

Also it can be really epic

They could but both these games are so good they'll probably like both.  Obviously there's exceptions.  People might not like horizons more realistic game design or in the opposite way they might not like Zelda's cartoon style. 

lol why did you fight the idea that it was great?

I still haven't played it, but I know from what I've seen that I'll adore it when I finally have the time.

As for the bolded, play Zelda. Truly, they aren't that similar.

It's a great game, and also the best looking one to date.

Good God, I kind of wish Horizon and Zelda didn't release so closely together, as it seems you can't praise one without the other coming up, as if two games can't be excellent at what they do simultaneously. 

Horizon is indeed an amazing game. I still don't know if it beats out Bloodborne for my favorite ps4 exclusive, but it's inching closer the more I play it. 

Sorry I'm buying Horizon only when it's dirty cheap. I've already had my fix of 'using a bow in an open world enviroment' with Zelda.
Same goes with Uncharted 4. I would have enjoyed it really much, if only it wasn't released so close with ROTR. I guess I'll have to wait for a sale.

Do you realize how self-absorbed you have to be to even ask that question?

Why is it that for practically every other game out there, if someone says they dislike something about it, no one even bats an eye, but if you're critical of Breath of the Wild, the very first reaction of many of the people on this site is to question whether or not they even played the game? Its as if they're absolutely incredulous that someone else might not find Breath of the Wild to literally be the best game ever made in every way imaginable.

People are entitled to their own opinions. I personally prefer Horizon over BotW and I've beaten BotW.

Lmao, this just shows you haven't played the game, the voice acting in this game is one of the best you'll find, especially in an open world game.
