I agree 100%. Wind Waker failed in this respect. Being able to miss photo opportunities ia just not cool.
That is correct but you need the context. The random person wanted to 100% BotW within a week and Nintendo said that's impossible. We know now that, this is totally possible with in a week if you really want to punish your body. The 100% speed record for this game is around 49 hours.
I don't think the 100% categpry of this game will be that popular because it's just so long. The any% race to ganon category should prove to be popular as it's under an hour now.
In the WWHD, I like how it's mitigated by the Tingle Bottles, and I like tossing the boss pics in those for people who may have missed them.
As to 100% completion that fast, I think it can certainly be possible but not within the opening weeks the game was out. You'd need korok seed guides and stuff like that, and that stuff just didn't exist yet that early. There's no way someone could do it all that fast without some assistance.
