Unpopular opinion (on the internet): BotW and TotK's weapon durability feature is one of these games greatest mechanics

[Darashiva]

Each to their own, to me it was one of the most annoying aspects of BotW. It didn't encourage me to experiment with different weapons, just made me try to avoid fighting enemies as much as possible. Either it was actively discouraging me from fighting altogether for roughly the first half of the game, or it was a completely pointless in the second half when I was constantly finding more weapons than I had room for, so I was basically throwing away weapons long before they even had a chance to break.
