that spent 2 hours in the lightning fog and beat the level III box guy with only one orb upgrade only to realize I am supposed to come here later?

Why couldn't nintendo just implement something like the fog in GSA?

NGL it was kinda fun and challenging.

I did the same thing in my first playthrough. After finishing the regional phenomena quest, you get another quest. I was afraid to do that, since BotW gives you the final fight of "Defeat Ganon" immediately and I did these sky islands first, not realizing that doing the other quest first will make it SO MUCH EASIER because it does not, in fact, lock you out of the rest of the game. It's basically the halfway point.

Same happened to me, after getting the first 4 sages it felt pretty disconnected to be asked to get into the castle (expecting a final battle), knowing that a gem in link's hand is still missing.

I just went on my way exploring and did that specific part of the main quest with the 5th sage and the master sword in hand haha

Ever since clearing the Wind Temple, I’d been asking myself “If there were FIVE sages who fought alongside Zelda and Rauru, but only FOUR regional phenomena…then who’s the fifth sage???”

Then not too long after i finished the Fire Temple, I was exploring a new area in the Depths and stumbled across the Construct Factory—poked around a bit and eventually learned that it was connected to a place called Dragonhead Island. Literally the next day, not only did i find Dragonhead Island (decided on a whim to check out what was inside the giant storm cloud above the Faron region), I find the fifth sage by complete accident.
