Simply put the only major problem for me is when you have to take on multiple enemies at once. The lock-on feature is the classic zelda lock-on but even back in BOTW it was obvious this needed to be improved to a more modern lock-on function that allows you to easily swap between enemies on the fly while in the middle of combat. The fact they didn't improve this is one of the biggest let-downs. You'll probably still be able to tank most of the hits anyway with high defense and the overobundance of hearts you'll have by the end game, but it's still dissapointing to be getting hit by enemies just because there is more than one attacking you and the lock-on is as janky as it is.
Aside from that I have a lot of minor complaints like how they reused the original overworld from BOTW, how the depths feels large but too empty, or how the UI and control scheme is the weirdest, most unintuitive one in the series yet. Like seriously I gave this to my cousin who's only ever played Twilight Princess and even with my help he still got frustrated with how the controls work, especially when trying to attach something to an arrow. But the first 40 hours of this game was a really memorable experience of pure adventure. Just wandering around and discovering what I can do and not wanting to stop. That feeling of exploration I never got from any other open world game since BOTW and that's why a lot of this game's shortcomings can be ignored.
My recommendation, play the game casually and don't bother going and completing everything just to fill out a checklist. As someone who's played the game for 275 hours, the most fun I had playing the game was those first 40 to 60 hours before I had seen everthing the game has to offer and settled into a pattern. Also I didn't go and collect all the Korok seeds like I did in BOTW, only enough to fully upgrade my inventory and that was still way too much. This game is long, much longer than BOTW, so 100 percenting this game is an even crazier task than before. Definitely not worth it.
