I felt the tutorial island of TotK was quite poor, and even 10 hours in, it just isn’t sparking joy like the original. With BotW, I spent hours exploring, looking for shrines, and just being immersed in a fantastic world. I can’t quite articulate it, but there just seems to be more friction at all points in TotK that makes that immersion more difficult to come by while playing.
