I've only found the great Thunderblade once so far, it's sitting in my inventory taking up space. I sometimes use it, then reload the game to spare it for a better time to use it :/ Same with a flame spear. I dropped my freeze weapons, no room, neither for different wand types. I only use a fire rod for starting fires, so no experience fighting with those thanks to the low inventory and fragile weapons.

It all seems very logical, use fire weapons in the mountains where ice weapons drop, ice weapons in the desert where you can find fire weapons. But since I don't use fast travel, having them break in 2 or 3 fights then have to walk all the way back to get new ones sucks, so I hardly use elemental weapons.

Same with special weapons for completing a dungeon. The blade from Gerudo desert didn't even last 2/3rds of one Lynal fight. No way am I going back and pay a diamond to get a new one. Sorry broke you legendary heirloom sword after 60 seconds of use, thanks anyway.

Some times you get weapons thrown at you left and right, other times you run out of normal use weapons after a streak of enemies with only bows or no weapons at all. You also can't see how far down a weapon already is. After using the right weapons for the right occasion for a while, you can be at a point where over half your inventory is 2 swings away from breaking. That happened to me a few times, lost 4 weapons in a row on one simple enemy.

No. Not a single time in my entire playthrough I run out of weapons. The Lynel in the Zora area just broke me a couple of swords, a shield and a bow. And that was the hardest fight so far.

Headshots, low stats weapons like disposables clubs or double hand swords are what I use more. Considering almost every enemy has a weapon to use, my inventory is always full (same with meals).

With low tie enemies I use bombs or just skip.

The only stealth section to me has been in Akkala witj a couple of Lynels.

Dunno about blood moons. I have only seen like 5-6 times in around 50 hours.

I have an idea, instead of this work around where you find ways to recover broken weapons that's tedious and annoying, the weapon could just not break in the first place.

How great would that be?

Argh, use the summoned bombs for that, not a fragile weapon!

Great sword and clubs are great for charge attacks, run up and swing without any delay. Also good for knocking them over. I don't find them any more durable than swords though. The only last longer as I use them less.

Well, if they are close they are blinking red. Otherwise you can see a little blinking astrix or star in teh corner if they have never been used.

If i'm in a fight and have to switch between weapons, i try to use all my used weapons first before I touch a new one. Same after a fight. I equip the one I plan on breaking next, cause I know a new weapon is just right around the corner.

Where would be the excitement for finding rare weapons then? I was genuinly excited when I raided Hyrule Castle early in the game and brought home a lot of treasure. 

If weapons wouldn't break I'd just use the same weapon and tactic over and over again while now I'm forced to rethink my strategies depending on my inventory: will I sneak past this section, will I shower the enemies with arrows or will I use a spear or sword? I've also killed enemies in ways that I didn't think were possible and would have never tried if weapons didn't break. 

Yea right. Bombs suck in destroying boxes. They send the shit flying all over. Don't like running around collecting teh food and arrows you fidn. Much easier to break witha  club/axe/greatsword or something(2 handed basically) and pick them all up in teh neat pile on teh ground.

I'm in favor of the weapons breaking for one reason: It encourages the player to experiment and use all the different kinds of weapons available in the game. If swords never broke most people would just use them and ignore the spears and other weapons. A weapons triangle system like Fire Emblem wouldn't work in an action game where timing is paramount instead of turn-based strategy, and having certain enemies only be able to be damaged by certain weapons would ultimately reduce the utility of the weapons and lead to another situation like Twilight Princess where items are useless outside of certain specific situations. It was either have weapons break or stick to the sword as the only main weapon.

I agree. Though I do with you could use the Great Fairy Fountain to upgrade your weapons durability or something. Like 1st upgrade is 2x as 2rd 3x as long ect.

Obviously have that be a somhat rarer items to upgrade. That way if you want to use say the trident you get from the Rito's domain you can and not feel like it breaks too easy. You can get it to last say 100 swings instead of only 20 or something. But when they break, they break like they do. So its a matter of, do I want to use these precious resources to up teh durability 5x or not. The weapon will break sooner or later. Not ot mention traveling to great fairies is annoying.
