Zelda BotW has realistic puddles that form and dissipate from weather cycle

Nope it activively tries to get your hands off itself. Almost at the top of that mountain? Bamm thunder storm, back down you go. Better remove your weapons and shield before you get zapped and here are 3 skeletons and some electric bats to keep you busy while that windcleaver Yiga clan assasin spawns behind your back :)

Pissed me off a few times, too. The worst was when I had to light a blue torch. I was within inches of lighting it when it started raining out of nowhere. Put my handheld torch out. I was like "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!"

Ha, my torch broke 2 steps before lighting it in Alkala. Then I had to find trees to blow up until a stick finally dropped.

Then you think you have it all figured out, it just stopped raining, the weather forecast is all clear, fly to that mountain yet you cross a zone line into rain. Each zone has it's own weather forcast doh!

Even in the same zone, almost at the top, 3 clear weather icons lined up, blood moon interruption and it's suddenly raining after the cutscene!

Yet there are so many more great moments. The second time to the forgotten temple (everything respawned ofcourse) I went full kamikaze, flying through without ever touching the ground, weaving between pillars, dropping at just the right moment, laser beams flying past me from all directions and land right before the statue to pick up the tunic. Very James Bond moment.
