10 Reasons Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's Haters Are Wrong

The largest number of things you'll gather in Breath of the Wild are materials and ingredients for food. These are not limited in any way inside your inventory.

What is limited are the slots for melee and ranged weapons, bows and shields. It can be a minor annoyance opening a treasure chest only to be told your inventory is full; but all you have to do is drop the weakest weapon from your stash and swap it out for the new weapon.

What's more is it's not hugely cumbersome either: in some games you have to load a menu, choose the subsection then start fiddling with the items you want to. With this new Zelda you can press one button, scroll through tabs or pages with the right stick and easily find what you need.

When it comes to weapon, shield, bow or run selection, however, it's all mapped to shortcuts anyway with the Wii U d-pad on the gamepad and the Switch on the Switch. It takes seconds once you get used to it.

It's true that weapons do break frequently but it's also true that there are a ton of weapons out there for players willing to discover them.

Keep your stocks full, and you'll be fine.
