It will either be a shrine or nothing. Repeat over and over. It definitely has some advantages with its simplicity, but the game is certainly not for everyone. I'm close to the 200 hour mark in the game, and all the time I've put into it I wouldn't say has magnified the experience too much. I'm just someone who is able to get enjoyment out of exploring every little corner. I've been trying to think of ways to alter the game to increase enjoyment of exploration, and honestly, it's hard, because at its core, the shrines are the primary thing to seek out. Just like in any other Zelda, they are the floating heart pieces of the world. That's why quests will lead to them (whomever said some are just empty inside missed the point of shrine quests), or they'll have some small puzzle, or a fight. I mean, if you treat Shrines exclusively like heart pieces, there isn't a Zelda game that beats them in terms of what it asks you to do. But that also leaves you with questions of what else is worth it. Finding Koroks totally is worth it. Boosting that inventory is part of the grind in overcoming the inventory system. And Koroks are everywhere, so again, you can do as much as you want to, and don't have to do near all of it to get the max. I GUESS you could replace koroks with just finding inventory upgrades, maybe even replacing hearts from shrines with inventory boosts and spread heart pieces around the world instead. But then you'd have people complaining that it's too hard to find heart pieces in the big world. It's also interesting seeing speedrunners who specialize in other games saying BotW is their second favorite, but I guess you'd have to ask them to elaborate why that is. --- "Bordate is a pretty shady place, what with the gangs, casinos, evil corporations and water park." - FAHtastic ...
