On a discussion note, I feel Zelda BotW is overrated across the internet. To me, it feels like there's half a game missing given the lack of variety in everything, and how the world's exploration reward filler devolves to a currency from repetitive puzzle shrines, and ya-ha-has, with the odd armor piece you probably already have something better of.
Doesn't quite help that they tease these character interactions with the optional backstory stuff that could have been the first half of the game, with the second half being the "100 years later" bit we have now.
