I am almost done with Echoes of Wisdom and thought the map was the perfect size for the game. I always felt like Breath of the Wild’s map was too large for what was offered. Tears of the Kingdom kind of made that worse by doubling the map underneath and having it mostly be empty.
I know for a fact that getting 100% in BotW is not worth it. Your reward for finding all 900+ Koroks is golden korok poop that has no function. I assume something similar is true for TotK.
Oh yeah, I stopped once my inventory was maxed in both games. I honestly wish the korok mask was just part of the sheikah sensor. It was annoying keeping that thing on all game.
