I have had the same feelings as Vinny in regards to some of the exact same set up with TOTK. Still playing a lot regardless and enjoying the new stuff, but there are pangs of disappointment I experience. I'm not sure the new good necessarily excuses it but there's a feeling of excitement and wonder that was lost for me. It shows up on a smaller scale, locally. At a grander scale, there is the the sky and depths, but half of the grand wonder is a bit dampened for me.

In Tears, eventually you will be able to buy pictures you are missing. This was also in Breath of the Wild, but you had to complete a specific side quest first. Not certain if this is also the case in Tears of the Kingdom.
