The game literally hands weapons out like candy, and the master sword regens in like 5 mins… sounds like you just wanted to use the “best” weapon you found and never downgrade again instead of getting creative with all the monster parts, which is boring as fuck.
I don’t hate either side of this and beat BotW on switch with no mods. As a compulsive looter from Borderlands, juggling what to drop or not drop became annoying when I knew how much more game there was to play. I wanted to keep exploring everything and not worry about being equipped correctly when I was focused on exploring the world. I understand the drive to build and prep for the next big battle. I also just want to play through the world and not add hours of item management when there’s already many more hours of playing. To each their own I guess.
That’s a fair point! The game definitely does drag in the exploration part towards the end if you’re trying to do all the shrines and light up the things in the underground. I used a simple hover bike made of two fans and a seat to get around, and it still took forever. I can’t imagine just running around everywhere on foot, and a lot of the topography (especially underground) didn’t seem too friendly to using a ground vehicle…

Like it’s my fault there’s nothing else to do in their “open world”.
