You must complete the first 4 trials in the opening area - after that you can go directly to Ganon, explore the world, complete one of the 4 main dungeons, do more temples, or whatever you want in basically whatever order you want.
Some things may be easier with prerequisites met but are still 100% possible if they aren't.

None - you cannot get stuck in this game. And besides - we have Google these days of the really tough stuff.
The last Zelda game I bought was Skyward Sword for my Wii. Fairly early on I ran into something in one of the dungeons that I simply could not get past. I just could not get the timing right for the necessary move. I think my reflexes have slowed down a little as I've moved firmly past "not a kid anymore" into "middle aged enough to occasionally have some stupid kid at the drive through actually try to give me a senior discount", and that was enough to get me in Skyward Sword.
Since Zelda games before BoTW have generally a linear progression where you must complete various things in order to advance, getting stuck pretty much is game over.
The reviews I've read say BoTW tosses that out and is very "open world", and there is almost no need to finish any particular thing in order to progress.
Is that actually accurate?
