I am on the older side, really like everything about Elden Ring, except the difficulty. Is there games like Elden Ring but easier?

Seeing what's been already recommended here, my suggestion sounds out of left field even to me... But somehow, "Elden Ring bug easier" makes me think first and foremost of Zelda breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom. Huge open world with secrets everywhere, engaging aesthetics and, challenging yet less punitive combat. The only thing would be that the combat is less emphasized, an exploration and problem solving more. But combat is still very much there and you can go quite deep in its mechanics, especially with all the time stopping and telekinetic shenanigans.

Edit: Not really a western ARPG I guess but the freedom of play is similar
