Both BoTW and ToTK needed room to make the various traversal methods necessary and worth the trouble of acquiring and learning to use them.
Personally, I enjoyed the hell out of exploring both maps entirely on foot.
Half way through totk I realized that I was missing a lot by hopping into the nearest tower and flying everywhere. I've started a new botw run now and so doing it all without warping, it's quite a differ nice experience and I'm really enjoying it.
I really wish the ground based zonia vehicles were useful underground, 30s in and you run into a cliff and need to abandon your vehicle. I ended up exploring most of the game by foot. I do honestly think shrinking the map by 50% to being everything closer would have made the game more enjoyable.
