Something I've noticed while playing #totk is that the further I progress, the less I want to fight enemies. It's no big deal killing everything I see when my weapon is stick with a rock attached but now that I'm running around with pristine weapons with lynel horns I don't want to use them on random enemies.
Yeah it definitely is just a chore levied on the player, but that's kind of the game progress of these zeldas. You are either bothered by the constant churn of having to find and create new weapons or you are delighted because you enjoy attaching things to other things just so dang much.
I hope the next zelda just has a sword and the combat gets a lot more thinking through
