I keep trying to like BOTW... And I hate it

[Stealth X Hawk]

But you say you are a big Zelda fan, and therefore I assume experienced with videogames alike. Yet you say you feel lost in BotW? You can do whatever you like, there is no "what I must do now?".

Not exactly. I couldn't remember where I found a fairy one time so I just restarted, but it turns out it's not part of the main "quest" anyways so it's always a "stumble" upon situation. I felt I wasnt upgrading so felt lost and restarted. However I said before when I said "restsrted" I meant I actually restarted 4 times, but each time I'd have a month go past and then try again after only playing a half hour to an hour max. So I literally restarted the whole game 4 times, but each time stopped after minimal time and then tried again later using the same save... If that makes sense

Because I'd come back to it and not remember what I was doing or what I was supposed to do

If you don't enjoy getting lost, you shouldn't play BotW.
