Yea the Rito main quest chain isn't terrible, but it's disappointing, feels like they didn't finish 'em. Ah well, maybe shorter is better, the main quest chain is plenty long already.

Anyway here's an interesting one I think...:

25. Explorable Area: Forest of Spirits (on the Great Plateau)



I found most of the forests in the game pretty disappointing, and I'm now thinking it's because this huge forest on the Great Plateau spoiled me.

It's really well-Saturated with little things to do and see. Several enemy camps with chests, some pretty good koroks, a pond, a Talus that's easy to be surprised by, there's the little campfire camp with the old man, on the west side there's that field with the dry grass that all gets set on fire, on the east side there's that swamp with the chests on a platform... Lots of good stuff!

I also really liked hanging out with that old man here, and learning how to survive. If you talk to him here, he tries to teach you to hunt in the forest, and it's really fun for several reasons:

• The hunting is pretty challenging, those boars are tough to hit once they're running around.
• You don't have many arrows, so each arrow counts.
• It's a big forest, so it's fun to sneak around and feel like you're hunting in a forest.
• The hunting is actually worth doing early in the game, since you probably need some food.
• You need the meat if you want to cook that meal for the old man (which is very worth doing to get that Warm Doublet so early in the game!).

Very Legitimate Gameplay.

In fact, I might say that this forest also spoiled me on the "survival gameplay" of Breath of the Wild. The survival feels pretty decent here, but once you get off the Great Plateau, it breaks down quickly (for example, there's no reason to hunt, when you just naturally get more resources than you could ever need).
