I can see that argument but creating machines to do the exploring, to me, is just so fun. Also, it's not as easy with exploring the sky islands. Some are easy to reach after jumping off a map tower but for others you need to actually use your brain to get to them.Agreed on the shrines. I also find Talus are light work when you can ascend through their head and just start wailing away on their health from on top of them without much risk of getting hurt.
This may just be a 'me' thing, but I actually preferred how BOTW was more difficult to explore. It's very easy in TOTK to find a rock falling from the sky, recall it, and suddenly you can glide nearly all the way to the next tower. There was definitely more of a sense of accomplishment in BOTW where you had to trek over vast expanses of land to uncover more of the map.

MFW I think I've completed my max zonai battery charge but it turns out you can double it
It's going to take me a long time before I actually do everything this game has to offer.
I wanted to get my war machines fully operational but yeah I guess there's a second bar per battery so more mining for me. Eventually. I'm burned out on the depths (and I still haven't fully mapped it)You maxed it? Man I only just got my second battery today.
Yeah that's the fun part. Building machines to actually traverse to harder to reach islands. Speaking of build puzzles in the shrines and creative problem solving, the last thing I did in tonight's session was a shrine on a sky island. I won't spoil the solution but it involves ice platforms and I assumed it involved creating a path for a ball to hit a target. I thought the ball might be on top of some elevated features so I spent way too long building a bridge and a ladder up to those platforms only to find out there was no ball and the solution was a lot simpler than I thought.The shrine puzzles in the sky are pretty simple "go get this crystal and bring it back" but I've found it massively rewarding figuring out how to get from sky island to sky island to both get the object and how to transport it back.
Idk I've just really enjoyed all the puzzles that involve building. They aren't too tough, but I keep feeling clever as hell when I figure it out.
That story took a wild ****ing twist that i guess i technically spoiled for myself since i found probably the biggest giveaway dragon tear first on chance lol.Yesterday I set out to get the remaining skyview towers and geoglyphs. I managed to do that and actually ended up stumbling upon the Master Sword while doing so.
Though it's looking like my story theory from however long ago is going to be wrong.

Now the matter of recovering the master sword.
Nope. The only one that is in order is #1 since that kicks off the quest. Once actually on my own to find them, i found #15 next lmao.I was wondering if the dragon tears were put in a specific sequence no matter when/where you found them. Guess not.
Nope. You can do both. The geoglyphs actually open up something different and are apparently required for the true ending.Question to those of you further along
So I am not terribly far along, have been doing mostly exploring and the shrines so far, but for the main questline I have the mission from Purah to go to the villages and investigate the local phenomenon and also the mission from Impa to find the geoglyphs, since both of these are part of the main "Find the Princess" questline, if I do one of them does the other one get cancelled out?

I found a few more last night and now I am fiending to find them all because shit is getting wild in those.
I still haven't actually seen the Master Sword yet.
I love what they did with it. I found it right after my first main temple.
I can't say enough good things about this game.
