More or less so than Wind Waker (in your opinion, if you played it) do you think?.
There’s far fewer Wind Waker references in Breath of the Wild. Maybe a place name or the odd reference to a person but the main references and common areas are Ocarina (by far), Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword (not many references at all, but more than other games). I think, I might be wrong here, that because the lore timeline splits apart into 3 after Ocarina, BoTW is supposed to be on the Descendant/Twilight Princess timeline rather than the Wind Waker one, so Wind Waker doesn’t actually happen in BoTW’s timeline.
Anyway, if you’ve played Ocarina and Twilight Princess you might get a fair bit out of the story and just traversing the land. You’ll still have a good time though.
Edit: or was the question does Wind Waker provide more nostalgia and/or references to Ocarina than BoTW? It’s been ages since I played WW but I can’t remember much. There was Hyrule castle at the end and basically the Hyrule from Ocarina was flooded so there’s a few of references to Ocarina, that might have given people the feels. I dunno.
