    I suggest playing the game as if it was real life. Do you go around every single street in your town looking for 'secrets'? If a stranger asked you to go find 10 special things for a 'reward', would you? Do you go around talking to every person you get in sight? No.

    Go just to where you want to. Talk only to people that interest you. Ask questions only about what you are curious to find out. Grind only if you are excited about the payout.

    Most of the time the important bits will be almost impossible to miss. If you do it's probably because of bad game design, or it just wasn't interesting enough for you. That's ok. You don't owe anything to the game.

    I am saying this after wasting countless hours in botw doing the most stupid shit. I finally lost my mind and decided to ignore everything. The first time I passed a new npc and refused to go there and start a conversation it felt wrong, like I was leaving an unfinished important business behind. But man, after a while it became liberating.

    One thing I discovered is that ignoring things you are not interested on really helps with immersion, because if you spend too much time messing around you are bound to find things that don't make sense, like repeating dialog, invisible walls and such.
