I mean, the shrines in this game just have you use the same four items over and over again.

first in a possibly interesting way as a tutorial, then one more time as a challenge

lets not pretend this game doesnt have a strict formula it adheres to, that is basically exactly the same as the previous game

This doesn't contradict the point I made about the 'traditional' items / abilities becoming useless outside their respective dungeons, which was the larger point. This was becoming a major series problem by Twilight Princess and even Wind Waker (the latter of which seemed to go out of its way to limit the number of surfaces the Hookshot could actually attach to, nevermind the fact that you didn't get it until the ass-end of the game). I didn't even bother playing Skyward Sword, which should tell you how stale the 'traditional' Zelda formula was getting for me at that point.
