But the weapons are all the same just with different damage output outside of the bows and a few bonuses that dont really matter. there are weapons you can lose forever actually.

Some of the lynel weapons from the lower tiers cant be found again once they all turn silver and there is another sword and a shield that can only be found a limited amount of times.
I must not understand the context of the bolded because if l'm meant to interpret it literally, this is absolutely false.

Explain. The champion weapons can be remade with diamonds and all resources are reset with every blood moon. If you are talking about gaurdian weapons from test of strength shrines, those also reset with every blood moon. The only other thing could be amiibo weapons, and I'm sure you can get them back by scanning it again.
The Lynel near Zora's is permanently red. So you can still get his weapons. Not sure if the other tiers have permanent locations. What is the sword and shield?
I don't know in what universe saying that a chore in games is a good thing. Maybe use a different word, becaus a chore is never the way to describe a game you love.
This translation is for fan use only, and may not accurately reflect the opinions of Masahiro Sakurai.
Some weapons add elemental effects, but that doesn't really change how the weapon is used, other than sometimes you'll attack with an elemental weapon then laboriously switch to another to preserve the elemental effect.
If you compare this to the weapon variety in Kid Icarus: Uprising, you can see a clear path of improvement for Zelda to take.
Yup! There is a quest where a boy asks for a specific tier of guardian weapons, and the only way to finish it would be to find the shrine with that enemy and kill it.Wait test of strength shrines reset too? Learn new BoTW thing everyday.
Sounds like Sakurai tries a whole bunch of different games. Good for him
No, but there's only a few archetypes:
One-handed
Two-handed
Spears
Non-spears can be split further into edges and clubs, but the difference between those is in practice very small. A very few specific weapons have different charge moves, but almost no charge moves outside of the standard two-handed is any good. Boomerangs have a different throw effect to other one-handers, but again, you'll rarely use this in practice. Some weapons add elemental effects, but that doesn't really change how the weapon is used, other than sometimes you'll attack with an elemental weapon then laboriously switch to another to preserve the elemental effect.

Guerilla Games went from making a middling shooter to an open world rpg claimed to be one of the best and even recognised by industry icons. I can't believe it.
Wait.
What did you say???
MIDDLING???????????????????????

Agreed on the weapon breaking. Can't believe there are people who defend it. It's one of the least fun mechanics I've come across in any game in a long time.
But you can? Especially later in the game.
Yeah...I understand the design mechanic behind it, and I still think "who thought this was fun?"
Tons of people, including myself, and many people who've posted across the dozens of threads about Breath of the Wild. I can get the reasons behind why some people found it annoying, but frustrating to see it constantly trotted out as some objectively poor design. Any failures have more to do with the UI (please let us swap with items on the ground/in chests T_T) than the breaking mechanic itself.
There are dozens of reasons why I love BotW and its weapon durability system is near the top of that list. So, yes, there are people who love it.
man, this thread is gonna be awful.
Still haven't played Horizon. Spoiled myself on parts of its story, though, and it seems super fucking cool. I'll play it in the coming months, I'm sure.
It's great to choose no sides and love both wonderful games.

You definitely shouldn't let others' opinions dictate how you feel about these games. Make up your mind and stick with it. It's silly to say that "game A is better than game B", as that is highly subjective anyway.It's like everyone (including myself) are completely missing the point about both games being great. Play and love both, and yes, while there are critiques to be made about them, seriously, at the end of the day, does it matter which one is "better"? We are in the presence of many games considered to be the pinnacle of their respective genres right now (BOTW, HZD, P5, etc.), and it seems all anyone can do is complain about this, nitpick on that, rehash the same tired arguments. Just enjoy the games. And if you need a reset and some cheering up, just look at that picture of Sakurai in the OP. What a guy!
