who buys zelda for combat? zelda is about exploring and puzzles. now zelda is about a sandbox, exploring and puzzles.

Everything you mentioned is part of gameplay, whether you like it or not.

Combat is gameplay

Exploration is gameplay

Puzzle solving is gameplay

Weapon durability/item management is gameplay

Crafting/fusing is gameplay

So you agree with me that gameplay is the reason why people buy Zelda and other games.

Just because a person sucks at one aspect in a game's gameplay, doesnt make the game bad.

you're argument is silly here. you can have a game do something great like its open world being the most amazing thing ever and have garbage gameplay
