Opinion: Rain in BOTW is a positive addition to the game

It breaks the flow of the game, regardless. The first few times, it gave a "Wow, this is neat" vibe, but beyond that I was just annoyed that my progress was constantly hindered. And you shouldn't have to resort to broken mechanics like the 3xstep-jump to get around a roadblock to the game. I would have much preferred an item or food combination in game that strengthened my grip to climb in the rain.

I didn't find it broke the flow at all; early on, before I gained the skill and abilities to subvert it, it may have diverted my exploration in a new direction as I searched for an alternate route, but I was still exploring. 

That's where we're going to differ. It continuously broke the flow of my exploration and forced breaks more than once.
