 but the game never ever forces you to deviate from the path you're on. You play the game as you want to play it. 

That's not entirly true. My first main goal. Was to get the map fully revealed. You can't do that. Unless you have a minum of 5 hearts, 2 stamina upgrades, some fire, And do the aka lab fire quest. I still had to do things in a certain order. Or was being blocked off, the way I wanted to do the towers. 5 hearts, mainly to deal with 1 hit kills. Or to bypass winter clothing/peppers.

Yeah, I shouldn't use words like 'never', but it's true 99 percent of the time. the game does not force you to go off path. You may need certain clothing to access certain towers, but that's part of the path to accessing them. You do not need a minimum of 5 hearts to activate the towers, you CAN do it with 3, it would just be very difficult. Obviously if your goal is to go to every region of the world without ever upgrading, it will be very difficult, but you still can do it. You can fight Ganon right after the tutorial, but it would be very difficult to win. 

Obviously if you set some really difficult challenges as soon as you start the game, it will be much harder to do them without upgrading. I don't believe it's impossible though, save for maybe one tower that seemed rather difficult to scale (even then, there may be a way around it using the surrounding area.
