What games popularized certain mechanics?

I was trying to think of which games created certain mechanics that became popular and copied by future games in the industry.

The most famous one that comes to my mind is Assassin’s Creed, with the tower climbing for map information.

Skyward Sword in particular was pretty linear despite technically having a literal ‘overworld’ of sorts.
