Big reason I don't understand the obsession with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The game world is empty and just feels like so much wasted space, and a ton of it looks like PS2 worldbuilding.

I didn't play Tears of the Kingdom, but if you found large swaths of the map to be empty in Breath of the Wild, it means there's something hidden there that you didn't find.

It's just about density. BotW/TotK were eerily empty and dead. But something like Elden Ring? I would play a game 10x the size of Elden Ring for the rest of my life.
