I don't think so,  works for a lot of games. It's not to play the game just with melee attacks, that mechanic works if you're stuck and you want to stun the enemy to run and come back later.

My only problem so far is that it's a Nintendo exclusive.

Of course we dont know all the details, so its impossible to say anything as a fact. Other hand, it would also destroys this - what i really adore and like - survival - simulation aspect of the game thaf is like cocainne for me. Real swords lasted no longer than 20 minutes in real fight againts armored enemies.  Hard to believe, but Zelda is more real than Witcher 3 here.

More games shall use this.

A lot of games have severe exploits as a result tbh, BOTW is built around managing your inventory as resources and going by the videos the's always something around you can use or pick up every now and then so the is no excuse to have just one weapon, anyone rushing into battle recklessly with out carefully considering if they have enough in their inventory pretty much deserves to get destroyed. Eventually you'll get the Master Sword anyway which most likely won't break.

I don't think there will be any shortage of weapons so this probably won't be an issue

Voice Acting is my only issue with the game at the moment

I guess it's because of the English VA? (Spanish is way more unbearable, believe me XD). I hope we can change to Japanese VA. In that trailer, Zelda cry made me shiver. In Spanish, it was cringe-worthy.

He's a hylian, not an elf.

I don't know why, but I always find Japanese VA better :/

Really hope there is an option to use Japanese voices..
