After defeating Calamity Ganon, you will be able to see the completion rate at the bottom-left part of the map. For you to achieve a completion rate of 100%, you need to find all the Koroks, locate all the shrines, and display all of the places' names on the map by discovering each area.
This is no easy task as there are a total of 900 Koroks to find! These spirits with leaves on their faces wants you to find all of them by solving puzzles or completing challenges.
Koroks give Korok Seeds after they are found which can then be given to Hestu to increase your maximum inventory slot for either weapon, shield, or bow.

If you feel like it's too tedious to take a picture for the compendium, you can buy pictures from Symin for 100 Rupees each after completing the Sunshroom Sensing side quest. Additionally, after defeating Calamity Ganon, Symin will start selling Elite Enemy Pictures for 500 Rupees each.
