It's the one open world game post-BOTW to inspire that same sense of awe in me, so this is potientially very, very good news.
Red Dead Redemption 2 had fantastic exploration and characterization. If they can be inspired for that (particularly for story, side missions and characterization) hoo boy that'll be awesome. But of course I'll expect hot takes of how this is the worst thing that could happen.
Standing for a whole minute to loot every single item in boxes instead of instantly confirmed.
Jokes aside, cool that they are learning from it. Hopefully from the first redemption as well and that they don't get inspired by the mission design of both.

Ewwww. I was hoping they would learn from the mistakes made in the last game. This does not inspire confidence.
Aonuma and his team were inspired by Skyrim for BotW.
Doesn't mean it actually played like Skyrim.
Stop worrying, ya' dopes!

Lol at everyone acting like this is a bad thing. Say what you want about the controls, RDR2 has the best open world of any game released this generation. I would love to see more systems like hunting added into botw2
Exactly what I'm hoping, BoTW was to me one of the biggest disappointments ever, just so much about it I actively disliked despite it doing some really cool stuff.
Because it means that now Link will take ten seconds to equip a new weapon once his old one breaks
What would be those mistakes?
I have several complaints about BotW, but I can't see how being inspired by rdr2 would make it worse.
The story aspect is something they could learn with RDR2 for example.
RDR2 is infamous for mission structure that limits freedom and gameplay/mobility and animation. None of those things are going to be brought to Zelda so it isnt a bad thing.
I for one wouldn't say that I don't trust Nintendo developers to be able to tell what are good things to take from RDR2 and which aren't.
