Interesting vs Beautiful and atmospheric. Breath of the wild has heaps of the latter but lacks on the first aspect.
It’s beauty covers the lack of variety by making it so you don’t get tired easily by the same thing repeated 100 different times.
Totk still has that beauty but it’s also way more interesting, and the building covers up the sameness even more by doing what Minecraft does, which is letting you make your own interesting shit.
So at base level they’d be pretty bad open worlds, but everything else was done so well it makes the open world feel awesome too
