I am an OG and thus, prefer old games to new games, but I thought BOTW was great. Not my favorite Zelda (again, OG) personally, but objectively great. It's also the only time I can think of where a massively popular franchise reinvented itself three different times and not only survived to tell about it, but actually grew its fanbase which is... wow.

But my one and only complaint is this: breakable weapons. Simply put, it's awful. At least in my opinion. If they patched the game, making that an option for players, it would be OOT-level-perfection. 

Huge disagree. Breakable weapons are key to the design of the game. The whole point is to have you continually switching your weapons on the fly and using what you can find around you. It simply wouldn't be the same game if you could just find one powerful sword and use it for the full game. 

No, it definitely wouldn't be the same game, you're right there. Still, I would have enjoyed it a lot more. It was literally the only complaint I had.
