To me it's about creating a continuous path through the game without skipping the intermediate terrain. It all builds a sense of scale for me. Save/load doesn't interfere with that. Hence I rather walk and don't even use the para glider all that much :) Basically this (from exploring the world in FS2020)


Anyway I'll see what happens when I get to the sky islands. They are fundamentally incompatible with my play style, so I'll have to adapt. There is no continuous path to make with floating islands :/

Light Dragon can mitigate things a bit, as I said she flies all over Hyrule, you can use her as your personal airplane you continuously travel Hyrule. I did it once actually, spent the 2 hours travel on top of her doing nothing but watching the Horizon... it was a very relaxing experience 

But it's not fast. You will need to commit exploring a group of islands, and then spend some time for it to comeback (2 hours), and often she will fly over the islands, which means you cannot comeback and will need to again reach an island high enough to mount her. Once you finish the Tears of the Kingdom questline she will start flying closer to the ground like the other dragons, so flying her to explore most of islands will no longer be an option 

Ah, I wonder what happens if I save on the dragon? Will I re-appear on the dragon where I was on loading the game or does the dragon position reset with everything else. Which could mean I either plummet to my death, re-appear on the dragon at its starting location or re-appear where I last left solid ground. (The save system does allow you to save anywhere but it takes some liberty with putting you back in a safe spot)

Too bad the Zonai airplanes last so short, otherwise I could explore the sky islands as I did in FS2020. Can you auto build a second thing while using one thing? It probably needs solid ground to place it. Can you keep replacing a steer-able zeppelin / floating platform while traveling :) The balloons in the depths hardly last long enough to reach the ceiling, nvm using them for horizontal travel. I should check all the schematics I have unlocked so far, need a floating platform thing to support a next airplane / balloon :)

Of course first I need to upgrade my battery before splurging Zonaite on auto build :) Maybe in a month lol.
