I've only ever played Twilight Princess, and the open world in that game from almost 20 years ago was amazing. It' really only gets tedious after the 40 hour mark, but by then you are about 4/5's through the game and can fast travel just about anywhere at that point so it doesn't really matter.
Gotta agree. Open World was exciting for the first hour of BOTW, then you realize it's all just a scaffold for 100 ugly and repetitive "shrines"....
