I understand that the game is on par with Gen 7 hardware but even some of those games like GTA 5 sported 60+ files sizes. Not to mention current games with 150+ sizes.

The three biggest things in a game are audio, textures and video (like cinematics). Most cinematic scenes in ToTK are not pre-rendered, which are usually higher resolution. There is some audio, but we’re not talking something like Baldur’s Gate 3 which has hundreds of thousands of unique voice lines, for varying quest states, from every character in your party, etc. And as has already been mentioned here, the art style of BoTW / ToTK let them use relatively lower-resolution textures that don’t up a ton of space. You fight similar enemies throughout the game, and so on.
Basically, it doesn’t really have a lot of the things that add the most file size to a game by far.
