I quit after I died to the first goblin and made myself some blu cheese and bacon burgers.

I've never been able to stick to a Zelda game past the first two hours, I easily put in 50 hours to BotW, that said I didn't finish it and don't feel super motivated to do so

Good stuff! 410 hours put into it, wish there was more

Will get the season pass one day..

Can u stream to youtube?

I killed a purple or blue gob and got fire arrows
I'm basically done with the game now

I instantly threw a red barrel and exploded the whole cave and died.

I attempted to assassins creed off of this tower thing. Link is no Altari

shot a fish

If I learned anything from watching @quigonzel play it, while I'm not sure why he did it, you're supposed to run straight into the swamp water.

Bomb fishing is best fishing.

Really, use bombs for anything you can. Weapons degrade so damn fast. Bombing trees for lumber....bombing animals for food....
Those annoying stalfos that pop up at night go down after one hit to break them apart and then one hit to the skull. Doesn't matter what you hit them with so....bombs again.
Keese swarm? Chuck a bomb at 'em.
Crystal switch in the distance you're supposed to hit w/ an arrow (a limited resource!)? Chuck a bomb at it!
Those korok seed mini-games where you have to pop their balloons or destroy a distant acorn in a tree log? Like half of those are close enough to just chuck a bomb and get it.

I've died twice throws bombs so far.
Just because there were bombs to throw.

I like that game because you can ride a bear

The game is garbage.

I did some stuff.
The game is fun. I hate the weapon breaking shit.

I don't know why people hate on the weapon breaking so much, it's not really a big deal. If the weapons didn't break, it would be pointless to have so many in the game since people would just keep swapping out for the highest damage one they can get at the time, maybe with a few exceptions like the elemental ones. It also encourages you to sneak up on camps and use other methods to get some early damage on foes, instead of just running around guns (swords?) blazing. And there are a lot of creative ways to do that, so in that sense, I think it helps to facilitate the gameplay principles everyone praises about it more than they realize.

I just throw bombs or run away drop a bomb and BOOM
Variety is fine, but make it so you can have a "class" or something. Having the weapons break doesn't promote anything other than maybe farming for weapons.
Or, make them more durable. When you fight 1 camp of the gobs and your sword breaks it's just silly.

Later on, you start finding pretty durable weapons. After upgrading my weapon space 5 times, I still hardly fell below the max amount I could carry. When the enemies reset during a Blood Moon, I like to go to the colosseum for those sweet 9 elemental weapons.

Too bad there's nothing in camps worth getting.

Sometimes there is, but not so much later in the game. But then you can just ignore the camps and save your weapons that way.

Or you could like...give more aspects to weapon choice than just damage and attack speed (which holy shit did they over value, considering spears' damage values and durability).
A distinction between bludgeoning / piercing / slashing w/ enemies being weak to certain types and tougher against others, for example. As it is, other than wood vs. metal reasons, there's no meaningful difference between a boko bat and a sword.
Add more affixes that could be generated on weapons.
Have slightly more complex fighting methods than just hitting or holding the B button, and then maybe certain weapons work best with different attacks.
Plenty of options.

you'll never have enough options to justify having (in your own words), "so many" weapons in the game, of course. Because there's an obscene amount of weapons littered all over the place, and that's only b/c the durability is so ridiculous. Getting weapons from treasure boxes isn't exciting or fun, it's actually kind of annoying. It means you probably have to check through your current weapons to see if this sword is any better than your other swords that all function the same. It's just tedious, for something that'll break in a couple minutes or less of use so you'll never be particularly attached to it anyway.
