That's the main complaint I have as well. BOTW is simply boring. A ton of Critiques I hear about Fenix Rising Also applies to Breath of the Wild
-Fenix has too much Collecting? How many of those Stupid Spirit orb shrines are in BOTW? Something like 120 or so? Also those stupid Decco seed collecting? Again both are optional in both games but to power up you have to do some
-Fenix Rising has a bad story? Lets not even TAlk about Zelda's long and confusing storyline. It's hard to find 2 experts who can agree how the games mesh into a story? BOTW is your typical Hero coming back from the ashes to save the world storyline. How original
-BOTW has more detail? What? The open world is mostly barren and boring. Barely anything going on most of the map. Fenix Rising is a lucious world filled with things to do.
Truth be told if the name "zelda" wasn't attached to Breath of the Wild it would be an average 7 or 8 game at best. It lacks many features games like the Witcher 3 done better ages ago that was over looked. Hell BOTW doesn't have standard open world games like Skyrim has and it's pathetic.
