You're allowed to criticize it, but claiming that enjoying it isn't a popular opinion doesn't hold water when we're talking about one of the most acclaimed and successful games of the generation.

I didn't care for GTAV personally, but I'd never claim that enjoying it is an unpopular opinion as clearly a huge number of people like it even if I don't.

i never said people are not enjoying BOTW. Breakable weapons are  obviously one  the biggest complaints in game. if you look up games with great combat you never find BOTW on the list. No one really talks about botw having great combat most people say its one of the weakest points. i think to say that breakable weapons are popular is false. lets think about it like this, if it wasn't in the game that would be a huge fix for one of the biggest complaints in the game. I just found a huge poll.  personally the reason i don't like is cause it's the main focus for them in the combat instead of having a skill tree, adding more moves, better enemies with more move sets. fixing the dodge button which has a massive window. its the lazy way of making combat varied.

There are less than 3000 people polled here, so less than 1 in 10,000 of BOTW's sales alone, (plus a fair few of them are probably trolls who never actually played the game) and hobbyists forums like this represent only the most enthusiast minority of gamers, not the mass market. 

Truth is, forums are often way out of touch with the wider market, because most people don't use gaming forums. If you listened to forums you'd think everyone hated the Wii and loved the Gamecube, yet the Wii sold most than four times what the Gamecube did.
