Cool to read your thoughts on Zelda.

While I spend more time on the game than you, I actually had a similar feeling after a while.

Up until reaching the end credits my play experience was personally pretty unbelievable. I had avoided trailers and spoilers so I wasn't sure what I went into - generally, I thought they managed to create an amazing sequel.

My feeling though, is that there is a bit of a narrative problem with the postgame. While the game revolves around uncovering a mystery ("what's going on with Zelda?" etc.) , once that mystery is uncovered a lot of the side quests that might have been fun to play feel a little meaningless - at least to me - since a bunch of those side quests seem to revolve around that very same mystery.

Roughly put, in BotW I felt like I was uncovering a world and in TotK I felt like I was uncovering a mystery - but the problem to me is that this mystery is automatically uncovered after beating the game, leaving me with a world I already explored (in the first game) and a mystery that's already been solved.

Your experience is probably different but I just wanted to share my perspective.

Hope you're enjoying Harry Potter :)
