Its a pretty hard ask tbh. In the last month I've managed to play maybe 5 hrs of botw while fishing. I mention this to my dad: "Is that the kind of game that makes kids go shoot up schools?". me: "naw its more of a puzzle/exploration game really". Then trying to explain why that was actually fun to play. He tries to understand since both my brother and I have been playing games for 20 years, but he doesn't really. P.S. Its a great game though, I've played no zelda before ever (switch is my first nintendo actually), and have avoided any online resources/playthroughs/etc so am playing it completely blind and am having to figure out tons of shit but its quite cool. | ||

I feel like the big miss with weapon degradation is just that the different weapons aren't meaningfully different enough, and fluidly switching between weapons isn't enough of a system to make it interesting for people. There's some dynamic spear vs a sword vs a 2 handed sword/hammer, but for most fights any of the three are good enough and within those types the weapons are largely interchangeable. For most of the game there's also not really that much tension in terms of saving quality weapons as you'll generally have a pretty good baseline quality of weapons that you're constantly getting once you start encountering stronger enemies. So it feels more like 1/2 of a good system than a great one. They had the right general idea with throwing nearly broken weapons, but I feel like they should have leaned into it more to create a more dynamic system. The game is begging to have combat where you're constantly grabbing and discarding/breaking weapons across a fight in some dramatic fashion. Like special attacks should be more interesting (or at least more varied across weapons) and quicker to come out with a trade-off of consuming a lot of weapon durability. I'd love it if you could special with a spear for most of it's durability to pole-vault and launch yourself in the air or slam a hammer down to knock-back surrounding enemies and temporarily slow time. But none of that is there. If they could have made it interesting to switch weapons all the time, people wouldn't care that weapons break in a few hits and it'd be seen as a strength of the game by enabling an interesting gameplay. Hotline Miami is actually a great example of how fun it can be to constantly pick up and discard weapons (hit guy with bat, throw bat at other guy, pick up pistol, unload at guards, throw pistol, pick up shotgun, shoot shotgun then throw shotgun at last guard all as one fluid motion), but BotW doesn't really hit that same mark. Basically all weapon degradation does in BotW generally mean is that every so often you open up your weapon menu and grab a new weapon from your stash, and pick up enemy weapons to stay stocked up. So it's kind of a missed mechanic for most of the game and while it's necessary still to keep you from scaling out of picking up any weapon ever, it doesn't really result in that deep of a system. | ||

Once I realized that I could always find a reasonable weapon to fight with, throwing a good thunder sword at an enemy seemed like a great plan Yeah, I agree that it's freeing to not be attached to your weapons and to not constantly be comparing stats to determine if you want to pick up a weapon or not, but that benefited the game's exploration and looting mechanics more so than the game's combat mechanics. | ||

But I’m literally barely past starting zone The bows differentiate themselves more the further you get in the game so it makes a bit more sense then, but still is sort of silly since arrows are already limited. | ||
