Yes sure but now tell me how many times in the last 2 years you got banned trying to defend nintendo and attacking sony ? Yea, right , better move along.

Horizon doesn't have invisible walls inside, it has story based events, you can go everywhere while playing the game, you'll get to walls when going on the edges of the world. The bold and the first part are the same, it's not better design, it's different design.
Horizon doesn't exist in a rectangle as you said Zelda does, and Horizon has a much greater focus on the story, while still proving an open world to be explored when you want to.

Zelda is not better designed than Horizon because of that, maybe it is better designed, but not because of that.

Thank you.  The other guy didn't seem to want to answer my question.

Personally, I don't mind invisible walls if they are were you expect them to be.  In Skyrim, when I'd reach the top of the map and just keep swimming north, I knew I had to reach the edge eventually.  It's just a logical limit.  It's when I run into them in the interior of a map that I find bothersome.  New Vegas, for example, which had them at odd places.  I haven't played Horizon but it sounds like it does this.

In some ways, I don't think they're worse than manipulating geography, though.  So many game worlds seem to have moutains all the way around them, which can feel artificial.  Others can't and shouldn't go that route because they're not set in mountain regions.  And, honestly, after playing Skyrim, New Vegas, and the Far Cry games, I'm sick of open worlds set in mountain regions--it's like a trick that's been used way too often.

As for going anywhere, I've been spoiled by my jetpack in Fallout 4.

As I said, it's different design, not better design.
Aloy is not supposed to be there, so she won't go there, like she is not allowed to go there (before the Nora accept her, they block her); she shouldn't stray far away while doing a mission in some place depending on the mission for obvious reasons, she is there, she'll do it; Aloy can't go to a city she is wanted so she'll obviously avoid it (to later get access to it, to lose it again, to get it again while disguised)...

Horizon has a different desing than Zelda, that's about it.

Zelda is not better designed than Horizon because of that, maybe it is better designed, but not because of that.

This is what makes me scratch my head.  Looking in from the outside, it seems obvious to me that the two games had different design objectives.  Unless I'm mistaken, Horizon seems to have a more linear, story-based progression system.  It's perfectly fine to prefer one or the other but it feels silly to attempt to prove that one is "better".

Games don't have to use the exact same design.

One of my favorite franchises of last generation, Borderlands, used a semi-open approach and it worked very well.  I have no interest in trying to prove it was or was not a better approach to building a game world.  All I care about is that both games were enjoyable.  

Haven't played Horizon, but played enough open world games to guess what the difference is as below.

Then toss in invisible walls preventing one from certain areas due to items/story on top of the Horizon map.

Well, when you are making an open world you are trying to give freedom to the player, making a linear open world doesn't really sound like great game design, which doesn't mean the game is automatically worse, but seems to be approaching the open world concept in a less interesting way than it could.

Yeah and it shows, same for whoever did that image because the invisible walls arent dead center in the middle of the map, they are arround the edges and yes i am talking about the story progression ones not the edges of the world.
