Same, and honestly everytime I ignore all the stuff to just get somewhere or do something specific, the game is so much worse.
It always takes me hours to get anywhere but the journey is mostly filled with fun and silly advetures.

The only thing that kinda sucks is how long it takes to get more battery charges. I want to build and use all the fun stuff before im finished with everything else -.-

I have like 3 or 4 of the little batteries, and honestly, I'm not sure how I even got them.

I was just chatting with a friend about this, I really don't build stuff, unless I need to. Hell, I don't think I've even gotten on a horse yet, and I have all the sky towers done already, and have been over most of the map (except underground).

I'm like the dog from the movie Up. Squirrel!!!

This is going to be a piece of advice for TOTK, not sure how to spoiler tag on this platform yet, so if you're not interested just skip on by. This is not really a spoiler in any sense though.

I went a huge portion of the game without upgrading my battery. I had 600 of the charge things before I figured it out, enough to triple my battery life. There's a construct you encounter on the tutorial island who tells you how to upgrade your battery, but it's way too soon for you to be able to afford it. There's just way too much vocabulary going around at the time so I totally missed it. There's another construct on a big rock behind the first little settlement you find on the ground, in front of Hyrule castle. Either of those places are easy to warp too. They charge 100 of the upside down triangle charges to give an extra battery notch. You can add one at a time; you don't have to wait to have 300 to add a whole new battery. The depths are the easiest place to get more of those charges. You will not max out the battery capacity for a very long time unless you make it your full time job.

I've got like 150 hours total and literally just beat my second temple tonight... but I've got 5 batteries and it's dope totally worth grinding the depths, grinding is a poor word more like exploring and having a blast.

I've just been running back and forth across the land. I think I've made about 1 hour of progress in like 30.
