So out of curiosity, I decided to watch a bit of BotW and my first impression is that its Windwaker on steroids. Has fewer Dungeons or "Bosses" that yield Heart Containers, leaving the rest to be "Heart Pieces" via Spirit Orb's obtained through the 120 Shrines. Each Shrine varies in terms of difficulty and while it's a nice change of pace, there's far too much repetition, particularly in the Divine Beasts. To 100% BotW is long and tedious, with the Korok Seeds really giving Windwaker vibes. Reward for collecting them all is underwhelming but unique though.
What I did find interesting is that they rehashed OoT with the Mipha x Link in BotW. Mipha's character is definitely nostalgic for those who played OoT as it reminds them of Princess Ruto, but Mipha's more palpable due to her relationship with Prince Sidon. The DLC content really tugs at your heartstrings too and its coincidence that two Links get out of having to marry a Zora Princess. Other thing that got me thinking was how Zora grow/age. If what BotW chronicled happens to be true, then Ruto should have still looked like a Child in OoT as an Adult unless she undergoes extreme growth during those 7 years lol.
Anyways, time for Lutin to make another move in FTE.
