1. Stay Civil
This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.
2. Mark Spoilers
It is okay to post about "related games" (such as Age of Calamity and Tears of the Kingdom) but please use the spoiler "censor" and do not put spoilers directly into the title, as the censor doesn't work this way. Posts about other Zelda games might be suited better in general Zelda communities, like the ones listed at the bottom of the sidebar.
PS: if you need a little help for HOW to use spoiler tags, look here.
3. Offtopic Posts
Anything not related to BotW, like politics, religion, non-Zelda games etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.
4. No Advertisements
It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.
5. Provide Sources
If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)
6. Suggestions are Welcome!
Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)

Personally, I'm bit torn here.
On one hand, the durability mechanic made me pick up and use weapons I would have normally ignored, and I found a couple of new favorites that way. Almost all weapons I find are, to a degree, useful even late into the game, because there is a constant demand for replacements. If there was no durability, I would have just grabbed a good enough blade and henceforth ignored everything else, rendering a good portion of the gameplay and items obsolete.
On the other hand, I'm somewhat of a fashionista when it comes to videogame characters, and this includes weapons. If I'm going to wear the Desert Voe set for example, then it HAS to be paired with Gerudo-type blades, otherwise it feels just weird. So of course I start farming for very specific equipment over and over again to have an ample amount of identical replacements at hand whenever I need them, and that's basically just "no durability with extra steps" as I invest time and energy into guaranteeing that I always have that same blade.
IMHO it would have been a good middle ground to give the player the (late-game?) ability to turn a handful of weapons of their choice into unbreakable variants, maybe with a timer like the Master Sword so it doesn't become too OP.
