I've never really been great at open world games, with Minecraft being the "exception" for me (and even then, I don't spend nearly as much time in Minecraft as I used to). I tend to struggle finding out what exactly I need to do - and in BoTW I especially hated the fact that tools/weapons/gear would break after so few uses, it pretty much ruined the game for me.
Which, that's perfectly fine - clearly its not the game for me, I know plenty of others who've spent countless hours in BoTW+ToTK but I just can't.
