I’m looking for any games on PC (preferably Steam) that plays like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Mainly, I’m looking for large, open-world games, with lots of things to do, with an over-arching narrative/destination available. Think Minecraft, with but an actual definitive objective to complete.

I’m aware of Fromsoft’s work (Elden Ring), but I’m looking for non-soulslike games.

    I kind of cringe at suggesting this, but Genshin Impact is if Breath of the Wild used a gatcha payment model instead of $60 up front.

      I played for a couple of hundred hours a few years ago and didn’t spend any money at all on it. It’s perfectly fine to just ignore the gatcha stuff outside of the free pulls (or whatever it’s called) you get every now and then. I also don’t like Anime at all but this was one of the few things where it was alright.

        yeah I’m not into anime art, but Genshin’s landscapes are breathtakingly atmospheric
