Breath of the Wild has a huge open world and was, in comparison widely bug-free when it came out. Same goes for most Nintendo games. Also when it comes to pure gameplay they are much more polished than all the GTAs and RDR2s. What are they doing differently?

Did the other recent big open world games (Witcher 3, Horizon) have similar issues when they were released?
