Are there classic dungeons

zelda-breath-of-the-wild

I understand Breath of the Wild is not intended as a "classic" Zelda game, and I love this and I really like the game, but I just need to know: does the game have classic "vast" dungeons (i.e. huge mazes) or they're just shrines and mini-dungeons?

To elaborate (spoiler alert):

I'm playing Breath of the Wild following the storyline and I've just completed Vah Ruta, which was the first dungeon-like quest I have encountered so far: it has self-contained location, a dedicated map and a final boss… but it's a four-room dungeon with just a couple of foes, which in my opinion does not classify it as a "classic" Zelda dungeon.

Best Answer

The closest thing to a dungeon would be the Divine Beast "dungeons."

They have puzzle aspects found in traditional Zelda games, but they themselves are very short (comparatively) and yet fundamentally different from every other game in the series.
