Congrats OP on completing the trial. I had that happen on one of my dozen attempts at beating Eventide Island. I found it around hour 21 or so and I only had three hearts still because I was investing in stamina. I eventually beat it by bombing the hell out of the Hinox and grabbing the orb, no idea at that time you could jump on it and take the orb because every time I did, it woke up. BotW was so good, I burned myself out by the time the first DLC rolled around and after attempting the Trial of the Sword I skipped it because screw Lizalfos enemies and their natural terrain in the first trial (penultimate trial too I think). BotW is the only game where I can gauge within a three hour window on where my adventures took place based on my albums. I think I was one of few people that completed the game 98% before fighting Ganon, meaning every memory, every Divine Beast, every side quest, and every korok seed. Only thing I didn't do was reveal all location names on the map because I didn't know I had to ride over bridges. I went in there and whooped Ganon's pig butt. I really hope Nintendo expands on the concept immensely in the sequel; I'm talking underwater swimming, cave systems if possible, more dynamic weather, have them go nuts. I'm rambling but it's hard not to mention BotW without remembering my journey and the adventures I had, I really need to play the game again.
