In BotW you could just sneakstrike an enemy and then go to the side opposite of where you sneakstriked the enemy. The enemy will look the other way and you can sneakstrike again untill they die. Again, only works in BotW.
didn't know that, also, i have been playing BOTW since i was 6 on my switch and always freed the divine beasts in this order: vah ruta, vah rudania, vah meadow, vah naboris
