Based on everyone telling me BotW and TotK are the finest games ever made, perhaps people just want mostly empty open worlds with basic combat and max five characters with personalities.

I felt the same about BotW. At first I enjoyed the freshness and exploration but it quickly gave way to the sinking realization that it's an empty world with smatterings of lifeless villages and MMO-style quests. Ew.

Yeah. I'd much rather have the small number of deeper side quests in OoT or MM than, "hey buddy can you catch me ten crickets in exchange for a fistful of rupees? Thanks."
