You know you've made a good open world game when it's easy to enjoy it for hundreds of hours, but the fastest speedruns take less than 40 minutes and spend the majority of their time in the intro section.

There was one shrine in Hebra that was inside this overhang thing surrounded by freezing water, and you're clearly supposed to go upriver and cut down a tree and ride that in, but being lazy I just said "fuck it" and dove straight into the water and ate like 12 hearts. Or that place in Vah Rudania that's completely blocked off by fire, but I couldn't figure out how to block or disable it so I just kinda walked through it with my fireproof gear.


 
To be honest, part of the beauty of the game to me is that it rewards creative thinking and experimentation, but it doesn't _*require_* it, which is good for relatively uncreative people like me (I've seen lots of video clips of the game where they're doing really crazy/silly stuff and I just think "I never would've thought to do that").


 
If the game required me to be clever and creative for every single thing in the game, I probably wouldn't have liked it nearly as much. But it also gives you those options, which is great for people who love finding unorthodox solutions to things. Ultimately, it's _*you_* who decides how to play the game.
