I finished the game tonight. Spent a lot of my time over the weekend and holiday just exploring for a while and building up my hearts and armor instead of just seeing what I found as I did the main quests. I ended with 71 shrines, 27 lightroots, and 26 korok seeds, while my Switch says that I played for '55 hours or more' (so I assume 55-60 hours). The final boss was a little underwhelming for me, since he was more or less a Phantom Ganon with a few extra tricks. I never had to parry him, either - I just did a second dodge after his dodge/counterattack and he never dodged that. It also helped that at one point, he more or less backed himself into a wall and let me whale on him for a while without actually dodging any of the attacks. The final phase was disappointing for me, too, since it felt like 90% of the fight was just wasted time spent gliding and diving onto his back.

I'll avoid rambling any further and say that while I think the story was a step down from BotW, just about everything else was better. BotW had a bigger impact on me when it released, though, as I'd never played anything like it, so I'm not sure which I would say I enjoyed more. I'll have to replay them both at some point in the future and see how I feel then.
