Exactly. And that's why I don't think ALBW is as good as the likes of Past, Ocarina and Majora's, the exploration and dungeons are way simpler and just not quite as interesting.
That being said currently I rank it only behind those off the top of my head, so that's hardly damning praise
It's an excellent game, but it's followed the nowadays Nintendo trend of making games more simpler than ever before.
Btw I've played the first 10mins of MM, and what an absolutely amazing job they've done. I thought the Ocarina remake couldn't be bettered, boy was I wrong! I feel sad for those who can't get on with the 3D too, it's so brilliantly implemented here. I've also cracked out the cpp for the camera too
