I'll see what my experience is after I emerge back from the Depths. Sounds like hunting for caves is going to be the main part of re-exploring Hyrule. And part of the reason I decided to explore down here first is the Shrines. They weren't all that great in BotW with a lot of repetition. Some were great, yet it really felt like they needed to hit some arbitrary number. It feels more like a todo list than something to look forward to, but I'll probably need the stamina. Or at least it would make traversal a lot faster, being able to jump up walls instead of slow climb, find a ledge to recharge or run sideways, repeat.

I just noticed light blooms are not persistent either. I just had to back track a long way back to the cesnia pit mine, lower right corner since I can't find the light root to unlock the South East section of the map. My whole lit path along the top and lights marking build stations and camps, all gone. I should have realized sooner as on other back tracks I noticed empty camps without a light bloom, but those were lit from a nearby light root so the missing light markers went unnoticed :/

It seems the lightroot I'm looking for is on the South East island, disconnected from the map. Pretty sloppy that the lightroot nearest in the Depths doesn't reveal the terrain to the 'coast'. Kept me running around for half an hour trying to figure out whether it was hiding on a different height level behind a pillar or blocked wall. Some are quite sneaky! Will have to leave it for now, only accessible from the top like a couple others.

Yeah, the obvious reason that the light blooms disappear is that the game doesn't track them beyond a certain point, but it makes sense in universe as I discovered that the little frog guys will eat any light blooms they come across, which is presumably why they drop brightbloom seeds when killed.
