The games are a minimum of 40-150 hour open world experiences instead of 15-30 hour experiences even when 100%ing them. This already makes the game overstay its welcome and makes replaying them far less enjoyable, especially 100%.
They already have the Ubisoft issue where you are running region to region to unlock the towers so you can see the damn map properly.
You are never given anything unique that's not armor pieces when exploring. Shrine rewards are functionally rupees you trade in for either an HP upgrade or a stamina upgrade and feel generic. You are not finding PoHs or Pieces of Stamina around the world and hoping you'll find another one, you are just gaining a limited currency to buy them instead taking away that excitement of finding them.
There's no such thing as a "Bottle" level reward for the player or a Biggoron Sword/Bombchu to look forward to, there's just another shrine unlock or another random piece of armor to find. This leads to most of what you obtain feeling incredibly generic as a whole because anything you find could be found as soon as you started the game and isn't used for anything outside of activating something some other item could have (Like fire arrows or even a Bokoblin at a campfire compared to a Fire Rod).
You are given everything possible at the start of both BotW and TotK (Barring the camera but come on now). By not being restricted and given free rein to do whatever you want every area has to account for that and everything you find has to supplement that immediately. You never get locked out of areas because you're missing an item and never given that "I want to see what will unlock" feeling because it doesn't exist. You also never really have a reason to backtrack because of the game, only because you got sidetracked.
Combat is disincentivized due to everything crumbling in your hands as you hold it and somehow even less fun than before since it's just sidestep fishing or parrying.
