The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild: 12 Critical Reactions You Need To Know

3. Weapon Degradation May Frustrate Some

"Breath of the Wild's disposable weapons may prove to be the most controversial aspect of its design; weapons wear out fast, and only a few very special ones can be repaired...It starts out stressful, but it's ultimately a liberating change that's reminiscent of Halo's weapon-swap philosophy." - Eurogamer

"You will blow through dozens if not hundreds of weapons during your adventure, which no doubt feels strange at first, especially since gear often defined your progress in previous Zelda games. It can feel crushing when a particularly cool weapon is destroyed mid-battle, but you learn to move on." - Gamespot

Weapon degradation definitely caught more than a few reviewers off guard, with some believing it helps enhance Link's vulnerability and encourages experimentation during combat, while others simply found it to be a frustrating affectation.

It's likely to be divisive among fans either way.
