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

    This is called “begging the question”. You’re asking why something is true when you haven’t even established if that thing is true.

      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:

      • Lil Gator Game
