That doesn't look like a metroidvania in the slightest

Because it’s not a side-scroller?

Among other things, yes.

Edit: I can't believe this got downvoted. If your criteria for Metroidvania is non linear exploration with guided progression then fucking Dark Souls and Breath if the Wild are Metroidvanias. I will personally record myself laughing and send it to you if you try to say 'Dark Souls/Breath of the Wild are Metroidvanias.
