I agree that it’s much more polished. However, because you can constantly just get into the skies and glide over everything, you (or, at least, I) don’t get as much of a “feeling” for the world as in BotW. I still remember several situations where I stumbled over a mountain, or forest, etc., in BotW and there was suddenly a whole different atmosphere. I didn’t encounter that in TotK, yet (the different layers of the map don’t feel the same, the BotW instances were more “intimate”).
