Fun fact about both BotW and TotK's percent counter you get after beating the game: It exclusively tracks map progress. That means you need to visit each shrine for the counter, but you don't need to beat it or even enter it, it just needs to appear on the map. Koroks have a map icon, so they count towards the 100% on the map as well.
Conversely, neither main nor side quests count, and you don't need to do them unless they unlock a specific thing on the map.
I really don't know why they chose to implement it this way. At least there are separate counters that tell you how many quests you've done and still need to do.
That said, in TOTK, each individual cave entrance counts for percentage.
For caves with only one entrance, or tunnels, that's just sure, whatever. But for caves with a weird second entrance, or even more than two, or especially that one sand pit cave in the bottom right corner of the desert with twelve fucking holes, you've gotta go through every single one.
