It's annoying but not a super deal breaker. I feel like the limited slots make it worse than it should be. At least in TOTK you can farm those monster groups with boss bars for powerful fuse items.
Same with the stamina bar, it's OK but then you have this elfboi who can climb overhangs but slips down whenever it rains, which makes me think no one at Nintendo knows (most) rocks absorb little moisture and can be easily climbed when wet. But eeeh you can deal with it too.
