Honestly as someone who has played a lot of Ubisoft open world games and really didn’t like BotW (haven’t played TotK cause why would I) it did feel pretty similar to those games with the only difference being the map didn’t tell you where the collectibles/challenges were at. You still have the big radio tower things you climb to get info on the surrounding area and the korok seeds/shrines would feel no different from Ubisoft slop if the map showed where they were. That’s the only difference I felt between the two.
