I can see people calling the weapons durability system flawed, but I also can't see the game working as is without it. Too many people would ignore most kinds of weapons and just stick with the best sword they have without it. I suppose they could have made weapons last 2-3 times as long, but that's about it. Anything more and it becomes too easy to just use a sword on everything.

They don't. That's not how it works. If I can keep all kind of weapons in game, I would use flameswords against cold-based enemies, frostblades againsts fire-based enemies, spears against lizalfols, electricswords for stuns the enemies, two-handed swords for powerful charge attacks, Master Sword agains Guardians, all type of rods for fun, etc.

Well, yes, that's how it works. That system makes you use whatever you can get instead of making you cling to and settle for the same weapons for the rest of the game. It keeps things dynamic and makes you adapt to the situations on the fly. But you can still reserve certain weapons for specific enemies and situations none the less. Plus there's eventually a way to get whatever weapon you once used by visiting a specific vendor (which becomes available once you've completed the Tarrey Town sidequest), in case you can't figure out where on the map to seek them.
