Why some open world video games of the late 2010s and early 2020s have been considered “Breath of the Wild clones”?

    While I’m not aware of any titles that I would refer to as “clones”, the question isn’t far-fetched:

    Multiple games have since cited Breath of the Wild as an influence. These include Genshin Impact, Ghost of Tsushima, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Halo Infinite, Elden Ring, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and Horizon Forbidden West.

    Some indie titles I’d throw in, that clearly took inspiration:

    • A Short Hike
    • Lil Gator Game
