BotW is nothing like Zelda 1, the only thing BotW brought from Zelda 1 is Lynels. I replayed the game recently and I'm puzzled how the two are compared. Just look at this, if anything it carries the blueprint for ALttP.

>b-but you can go anywhere
Yeah no bro, the game still has a metroid like structure you need certain items to reach certain zones, you can do some dungeons out of order but if you stumble upon a later dungeon early on you stand no chance. The game is fundamentally designed to be played in a certain order, at least for a first playthrough, but it trusts you to find where to go next unlike the later games that guide the player more.
