The final point really gets to me. New items and abilities were such a great part of pre-BotW era Zelda games. I get why they did it. The open world being so large means you aren't likely to want to re-explore the same location again once you get the requisite item. It's a sacrifice they made to avoid gating content off and allowing you to go anywhere and do anything at any time. I just don't really think that sacrifice is worth it.
