Wow, that's awful lol. I explored a little and very quickly encountered a shrine where I figured out there must have been a paraglider cause it needed it (that might have been purposefully placed?).

But also, no paraglider means no map. I can't imagine going for too long without progressing the story till you can reveal the map!

Heck, it felt like it was taking too long to give me the photo mode feature. I knew it had to be there, but I was expecting to get it much sooner and didn't like missing opportunities to take photos for the compendium.
