Tell me you haven’t played the original Legend of Zelda without saying you haven’t played the original Legend of Zelda.
BOTW/TOTK are more like the very first Zelda game than any other Zelda titles.
Just like BG3 really isn’t all that different from BG1 and 2. Everyone so blown away by it saying it raised the bar must be young as fuck, because it didn’t raise the bar. It just put it back where it was in the 90’s after it fell off the post. That isn’t to say it’s not great or deserving of GOTY over TOTK, though. Ideally, they both would win for different reasons.
