Highlights/Thoughts from Today's Play (Arrival at Lookout Landing to Reaching the Stormwind Ark):
This game needed DLC so badly. Such a missed opportunity.
I missed Hestu the first time I played, didn't get to upgrade my inventory until reaching Korok Forest. I had no idea he had a mini quest for you if you met him earlier.
Panic blood moon immediately upon reaching Rito Village. I never got one in BotW, but I remember getting multiple in one in-game day my first playthrough of TotK.
Even the short jaunt from Lookout to Rito Village feels so bad. Partially from having zero stamina, but also, missing Tulin. Truly the only good Sage ability.
Welp. I finally caved and started Tears of the Kingdom. Haven't touched it since 100%'ing my first file a year ago.
