(1) Yeah, I remembered that after sending a post. I actually moved through a river one time this way. There are even more ways I left out: you could make something you can stand on float through the air and airsail to the destination or you could freeze an object in time and charge it with kinetic energy and at the last moment hop onto it to ride the cannonball.

(2) Yeah, was wondering too why it is annoying for running. I run until my stamina is nearly depleted and keep jogging while my stamina replenishes for another sprint.

You do realize that you're creating work-arounds for what others consider to be annoyances, right? The fact that you can work around it, or tolerate it, doesn't mean it's that tolerable to others, or that the work arounds make it less annoying.

Imagine if someone but a giant boulder in front of your front door that allowed you to only open the door a foot. When you complain about it, they say, "welll you can still squeeze through the door, or you can take your door off it's hinges and hop over the boulder, or you could you could just use the door on the back of your house. It's really not a problem having that boulder there if you think about it" I'm pretty sure you'd still prefer to have the boulder removed so you can use the door the way you'd like without the work arounds.

You realize that it's only an optimization for the gameplay I use. You can run as fast as you always could do in Zelda just by moving your stick completely to the border instead of just moving it a little from center. The option to run is actually added, so that you can even be faster than in earlier games. You also don't realize, that the main point of wonder is, that many people assume you have to stop and stand still to replenish stamina.

But you have all freedom to complain that you can be faster than in previous Zelda games, you can complain that you're too slow, you can complain that fast-running eats up a resource. If you dislike games with that mechanic, you shouldn't force yourself to Monster Hunter or Souls or BotW. It's free to you.

And you can keep on making fun of other peoples opinion by completely ridiculous comparisons. All that shows is that you're bitter some peeople are enjoying a game.
