Somewhere, some game, there's speedrunners who use an intentional death to go faster that just happens to be on top of a big hill, and the joke writes itself.
Look at it!! It’s so flipping gorgeous. Even some small, mundane ones are beautiful, or have a cheeky korok there. The hill down to Tarrey town was a favourite - used to always walk it as it was quiet, a nice break.
It’s a testament to the incredible world design that so many people take for granted because it is constant around the entire map. The game is a masterpiece! Only Red Dead 2 rivals it for me in pure exploratory bliss. Elden Ring is a respectable shout out too.
Have you seen the developer video about it? Basically the world has loads of cones to draw the player up but also let things peak round the corner, promoting you to explore. It’s fascinating. And agreed - a proper masterpiece.
It's definitely not a bad spot. Chances are, a Korok would take sanctuary at your grave stone and reward passersby who bring offerings with a good ol' "Yahaha!"

When I first visited Cape Hills in BoTW I just sat there for ages watching the weather and stuff.
Was also the first rain I experienced in-game as I tried to climb it so maybe that’s why I remember it so well lol
