My favorite part of the game so far is the backstory of the two young girls in the first village. I wonder how many other such little stories can be found in the game, as characters seem to have a life and react to the environment.
I would not agree that the game trades structure and narrative for freedom, you get both and it is up to you. And it makes sense and is highly recommended to visit Hyrule Castle early in the game, there are even some backstories and quests about it.
The really strong backstory part is by far the best part of the game. There is so much depth to be uncovered in the daily NPC life.
