Nintendo describe The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as an “open-air adventure,” rather than an open-world game.
This is fairly typical of Nintendo, who come up with new genre names all the time, to better convey the spirit of their games. For example; the original Metroid Prime was described as a “first-person adventure” game, rather than a first-person shooter.
Nintendo’s former president, the late Satoru Iwata, also conceived a new term for mobile games: “free-to-start” rather than “free-to-play,” as he felt the latter was misleading.
