>a great way to scope out the world
If you aren't getting sidetracked for shrines or something pulling your attention to get you to stop going on a set path you are playing both BotW and TotK wrong. They are designed around not having you going in a straight path to a destination.

>The puzzles are linear.
It doesn't matter. YOU are solving them. YOU are using your brain power to figure out how they work and the accomplishment from solving them to obtain items that will actively help you progress is the entire focal point of the Zelda games. There is a reason why everyone remembers the Power Glove room in Ages. Being locked off from progression and being forced to turn around or find alternate paths on your own time in your own way are the crux of the formula. Being able to do whatever you want feels like garbage and ALBW shows you that with how it never gets harder and never feels like you're exploring because you can just rent everything and unlock everything whenever. It's the perfect example of why having pure ungated freedom doesn't enhance the games at all.
