whats a game that you got significantly far into, only to realize you were doing something wrong or missing a key feature/ability altogether? (lemmy.one)

The glider placement was a lot less obvious in TOTK for sure.

Similarly, I was completely ignorant about what the chasms were for until 2 days in when my friend casually drops that she's been exploring [redacted because spoiler markdown isn't working for me] and I went "Wait, there's a WHAT?"

I'd missed a pretty critical side quest and I probably wouldn't have noticed if my friend hadn't told me.

Times like these are when our inclination to ignore quests for later really bites us in the behind...

I also ignored them for way too long.

When I finally decided to drop down and discovered the old mine with everything else that place has to offer (trying not to spoil), I was a bit pissed for not exploring earlier.

It also took me waaaay to long to realize the maps are "connected" and so are shrines/lightroots...
Just randomly noticed it after probably 50 hours in-game

If you follow the side quest introducing that area, I think there's an NPC that mentioned that tidbit. Though, my friend didn't remember that until I brought it up too, so you may have just not encountered it.

The game even gives you hints that the connection is there on the loading screens 😁
