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

[SvennoJ]

It was/is a terrible mechanic. It made it impossible to experiment with my play style. I never used fast travel and didn't see the Korok dude until 80h into the game. With very limited inventory slots I could not afford to carry many different weapons along that were more effective in other zones or against particular enemies. So I basically ended up with a very limited general arsenal and started avoiding camps because it would just mean even less room for special weapons to carry along.

So I missed a lot of the cool combinations, wands, special status effect weapons, fun things to experiment with. No room as I was constantly cycling through weapons.
