I started playing this game on Christmas and while I really like it , why does stuff have to break so freaking much. I am not fighting most monsters because things break to easily. How can freaking a bow break after i shoot it ten times, or use an axe 6 times.

Sometimes it is kinda dumb. Like you spend 7 minutes climbing a mountain and get a folded Sword for your effort, then it breaks after killing one mini-guardian

It's annoying at first but as you get further into the game, weapons are thrown your way so much it's not really an issue.

There really should have been a mechanic to repair weapons at least.

I hate durability mechanics but at least in BOTW it brought something to the game instead of being like Skyrim or the Witcher where it's just an annoyance
still not a fan, but most of its negatives are moot

I think I am going to just keep doing Shrines until I can get the Master Sword. I heard that it breaks , but it can fix it self.

Honestly, you may as well just ignore enemies in general as much as possible. They get boring really quick anyway.

It stops being an issue pretty early on since as others have said so much decent stuff drops. Personally I loved it because it gives the game a bit to differ it from the other titles when it comes to combat.

Also do the gerudo dungeon. The power you get from it can be used offensively and recharges

Durability is crucial to BOTW, but I agree that it's imbalanced in some ways. Lynels can severely deplete your inventory and don't offer commensurate rewards; you have to abuse unintended iframes to make it worthwhile to fight them. Special amiibo and story items should also have substantially more durability than they do, imo.

Reminds me of when I first played the uncharted games. I was always an ammo hoarder in games, but this taught me to play totally different. So many guns laying around it was no issue to empty the clip and just pray and spray in the enemies direction.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

I enjoy it because it means I get to use a ton of different weapons. They are abundant enough for it to not really be a problem. I also enjoy when they break upon being thrown.

It wouldn't be nearly as bad if the weapons didn't break so quickly. There have been times where I've burned through like 3-6 weapons on one freaking enemy.

It does. It never "breaks", but it runs out of power and becomes unusable, then takes 10 realtime minutes to recharge.
