Man i don't know if you bough the game and i don't know if you still care, but a short update after saying i was finding it boring at the 12h mark: well the game clicked for me around 15 hours, but its crucial that you experiment with the combat and control your companions to make it enjoyable because you can play it in the most boring way (basic melee warrior delegating companions to AI) if you want and the experience will be miserable. After fixing this aspect, i can safely say its my 2014 GOTY by a landslide and top 10 game of the generation in the least.
I'm playing this just after beating BotW, and to my surprise i'm finding Dragon Age Inquisition to be a MUCH better game than Breath of the Wild.
