The first ones I can think of is legend of Zelda and final fantasy, but I think there was also Adventure for the Atari before those even. The first Assassin's Creed was 2007, Adventure was 1980
Which Zelda games were open world (before BotW)? I've always found them annoyingly linear.
The original Legend of Zelda. You had a large open overworld to explore, and IIRC could do many of the dungeons in any order.
Which Zelda game WASNT open world???
Skyward Sword in particular was pretty linear despite technically having a literal 'overworld' of sorts.
