Assuming there are no blacksmiths (which no, there are none) most of the weapons are around 100 years old. Story wise, I would expect this to be cause all blacksmiths were either in Hyrule Castle or part of the Royal Guards, which died when Ganon took over the Guardians. 

That makes no sense one bit. Having black smiths in Hyrule would be the MOST lucrative job in the country, period. The Goron and Gerudo would be the logical choices for these jobs. In 100 years people would of taught themselves. Or grew up knowing already what to do. That's a bullshit excuse and you know it. Forcing people to "experiment" with other weapons is a bad reason for the degrade system. You know what really happens. People just exploit the game and farm for the quickest weapons. Than just ignore the rest.

I never used the Bomberrang, for example. I hardly used anything. Besides the few weapons that respawn at common places. I beat the game fine. I didn't care about learning the weapons. Because I can't save them. So the reason why they wanted me to "experiment" with weapons. Was the reason why I DIDN'T experiment. I care about having fun. The degrade system was not apart of that. I'd take the Master Sword being blocked off in the tradtional sense. So it be unlimited. Over free rain of the map. What's the point of the hearts limit on in anyway? The sword breaks and you have to wait 30 minutes. Shouldn't of than been enough to allow the sword to be gotten, right at the start.

You are saying that creating weapons as a job would be a great way to earn money?

In a world where Swords can break after a single pack of mobs are defeated....

But there are enough swords in the world to kill everything in the world 5000 times over?

You can't cut down a tree in the game without it turning into 5 types of weapon, how do you think a blacksmith could ever sell you a sword when it rains them in this world? I mean the truth of why there is weapons everywhere is shown in the flash backs to 100 years before the game started, War happened, and it was nasty, lots of people took up weapons.... and those people lost heavily, they were massacred, people in Breath of the wiild seem to be far keener to start off learning how to do things like farm food and create villages again... not pick up the weapons of the dead who died holding them at the hands of Ganon.
