I didn't realize how impactful Breath of the Wild was on me until watching a speedrun of Ocarina of Time. At one point the runner needs to jump off of a moving platform onto a pillar. I thought "easy, jump off now, glide, then climb!" In that exact moment I realized that Breath of the Wild changed how I thought about traversal and exploration of open worlds.

I don't love open world games. In fact, I love one open world game, Morrowind, and dislike most others. Morrowind is so good it made every other open world game seem awful. Breath of the Wild is close to that calibre of formative game experience for me.
