Sorry, its a bit semi-OT.
Generally speaken I like these kind of "Micro-Managements" in games, even though most people hate them.
The same goes for things in like Diablo 2 you have to buy keys, as there are locked treasure chests and buy arrows for the bow you are using and buy town portal scrolls and so on.
Even though I am absolutely not into Zelda and played BotW only like 3-4 hours or so, I really like weapons breaking. Maybe it was a bit too fast to be honest.^^
For me this makes games much more immersive or realistic.
So I find it very strange that you basically could climb like every wall and mountain. And now in TotK you even have this Ascend-Skill. I heavily dislike that.
But all in all it is of course just my personal preference.
