I wouldn’t say it’s unpopular opinion. Just a really loud minority who love to hear themselves complain in the most overdramatic fashion possible about the dominant game of current time. The exact same people were also whining about Animal Crossing: New Horizons when it was the dominant game. I don’t want to say people are outright lying about their opinion to get attention, but certainly overreacting to get attention.
It fits the design of one of the very greatest games in the history of video games. It’s superior to the sorts of games that just stuff you with hundreds to thousands of items that you’re not sure if they should be sold or not because you’re not sure what’s expendable. With Breath of the Wild and it’s sequel, it’s all expendable (except the master sword) because you’re always on the path of getting new and better stuff.
It’s not like it’s some alien new system either. It’s a species of an ammo system. You find ammo, use it, and find more and use that. The difference from the standard being that you don’t need to find a weapon separately to use the ammo and you’ve got an inventory limitation (expandable). Although, shortages are rare, there are weapons all over the place and they’re always getting stronger and stronger based on progress measured by improvement of Link.
That’s just my two cents… and you’ll have to forgive me if I’m repeating things that have been said 18 times already, the thread’s too big and I don’t have time :D
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
