> Out of all the previous soulslikes, Elden Ring is the fairest in terms of providing options and routes. If you want to rush through the castle and beat Godrick right at the start, you can do that.

Doesn’t BOTW have a similar option to rush to the end boss?

Also, this video shows BOTW doesn’t have to be like what you say

Rather uncharitable to compare a four year old game to one that just came out.
