Well, I'm an idiot. My brother walked in and figured it out in about ten seconds.
As for BotW, I definitely like it when it's at its most straightforward. The Divine Beast quests have all been colorful and fun and inventive, while all of the side stuff like tracking down Shrines and Korok seeds feels like filler. As much as I do enjoy BotW, it's not on track to dethrone Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess as my favorite Zelda titles.
