I am almost done with Echoes of Wisdom and thought the map was the perfect size for the game. I always felt like Breath of the Wild’s map was too large for what was offered. Tears of the Kingdom kind of made that worse by doubling the map underneath and having it mostly be empty.
The hover bike was great. It also kind of broke the whole idea of being creative with builds and even collecting builds. Most solutions outside of shrines for movement was just building a hover bike.
