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

You think RDR2 and GTAV have great combat? lol. those games and zelda do a lot of great things so they deserve the sales but the combat is just horrible in those games, especially in RDR2 and GTAV.

Then why do the games sell if the gameplay is bad?

"Games and Zelda do a lot of things so they deserve it"

What? Gameplay is the main reason why people buy these games, especially Zelda.

No one's buying Zelda for the story, visuals or music alone - come on lol.

I buy it for the exploration, experimentation and puzzles.

If there was no combat at all I would be more than fine with it. Combat isn't much fun in TotK, just an obstacle to slow me down. I enjoyed the combat in Windwaker much more than Botw / TotK. Combat and weapon durability is what drags the game down for me.

Gameplay is much more than combat!
