GoT is definitely the pinnacle of one particular kind of open world game. I'd say that BOTW is the pinnacle of the kind of open world game that's more about freedom, and GoT is the best of the more story-driven, structured kind.
They really should have put in better traversal though. After playing BOTW, any open world game without an equivalent to shield surfing just feels boring- all you do is run.
