There is a weather report in the UI. There's 3 icons that tell you the upcoming weather. But I agree, it was annoying, almost getting to the top then the rain starts and back down you go. First few drops and it turns into a slide. Fires don't work so you can't wait it out. Bomb arrows stop working so you can't blast open that cave you wanted to explore. Lightning starts forcing you to go into the inventory so the lighting can't see your stuff in your magic pockets.
Once you have Revalis gale, plenty stamina and the climing gear it is very possible to climb in the rain. Jump just before you slide and with the climbing gear set onus you can still make decent progress. I was lucky to explore the desert and mountains first, didn't experience rain until I already had Revali's gale and multiple stamina bars. It was still annoying. I read there's a helmet to protect you from lighting, never found it in my 170 hours with the game... Bomb arrows have no way around it though. I've sat starting at multiple breakable walls waiting for the rain to finally stop. Trying to save/reload hoping the rain would piss off.
I was stuck with 8 weapon slots for the first 80 hours as I went my own way. I had about 200 Korok seeds when I finally ran into the dude, who only wanted me to spend 3 seeds before disappearing again... The first weapon I got after the plateau was a 45 dmg hammer. Kinda made everything look weak after that even though it broke. HZD does it better letting you experience different weapon combinations, better suited for different battles. There's no weapon breaking there and it's still fun to experiment and exciting to find a new tool.
I wasn't attacking enemies in BotW for their weapons or the little chest with a useless new weapon or shield. Just to loot their monster bits to upgrade armor. Weapons became kinda meaningless. Fight with whatever dropped the last fight. No point in getting attached to anything. Just keep a spear, sword and two hander at hand, don't bother with the elemental ones that take up space. Just one flame kind for melting and starting fires. Plus a two hander lighting sword to take out sleeping Hinox with spin attack plus lighting slam in 5 seconds. So satisfying. Works on Lynels as well.
My kid currently doesn't want to play anymore because of the random ninja attacks that never end. He want to light the torches in Akela, but it's raining and the yiga clan keeps showing up.

I can't say whether or not HZD does it better, didn't get far into that game. But see *that's* the problem. You're saying weapons become useless cause you didn't even try to get them.
Really? I thought the Ninja attacks were awesome. You encounter like 3 ninja attacks in the first 7 hours of the game ... kind of a weird complaint.

Huh are we playing a different game? After finishing the yiga clan hideout they wouldn't leave me alone in a lot of zones. I've killed about fifty of the random spawn attack then simply started to run away from them. I was glad to get to the vulcano zone where they don't show up, finally some peaceful exploring again. It was more like 3 every 10 minutes, got pretty annoying. The weapons they drop break very quickly too, useless.
