CLEARLY for me. I'm sorry the game isn't perfect for everyone.
Yeah, 30 attack isn't all that amazing. The one-handed weapon you sometimes get from those
Yiga clan guys
Against Guardians (the big ones, at least) the Master Sword is really good though. 60 attack with that attack speed is nice.
I don't agree at all
You can never rely on a super weapon in the game, you need to balance what to use in different situations.
I think it's well balanced and gives fights more meaning and increases intensity.

Just the way you were writing that post, you were painting this as an objective thing when it's really not the case.

Finally got the timing down for parrying Guardians. Managed to knock out two in a row.

I love this game. Just finished my second major dungeon
dungeon and I still have SO MUCH to do and so much of the world I haven't seen.
In the middle of the Gerudo quest I decided to keep going after
Another time I was trying to
north of Hyrule Castle. I got lost and went too far. Intrigued by the landscape, I kept going and eventually found myself in the frozen north. I found
Gerudo/Camel
In the middle of the Gerudo quest I decided to keep going after
infiltrating the Yiga Hideout and ended up in a snowy mountain range with monsters way out of my league. With some clever climbing and avoidance skills I managed to sneak past them and climb the mountain. Somehow I ended up in an entirely different area, where I saw another Divine Beast flying about. Climbed the tower and peaced out - can't wait to go back.
Another time I was trying to
uncover the memory
a massive labyrinth, white Lynels that scared the heck out of me, and a shrine at the roof of the world. The sense of adventure was unlike anything I have ever felt playing a game. I never did finish the labyrinth, either, because I couldn't stand the cold long enough to survive before I had to leave.

It auto repairs itself in 10min and adds it's own slot to the weapon inventory. It's a boss destroying machine though.
Now the Hylian shield, that thing is actually indestructible for some reason. It makes every other shield obsolete other than the guardian shields which have unique properties which is kind of frustrating.
On the weapon durability, I've so far very few complaints with it. Biggest is that Stasis puzzles will use your weapons and you might not be able to get new ones right away and that is the worst in my mind.
I do like that weapons when used as tools seem to last longer when used correctly (hammers on ore will last longer than a halbred on ore, etc). Also appreciate that almost anything that makes sense to use as a weapon can be, including skeleton arms and sticks, so there is almost always something you can use to fight with.
I also think the benefits to the game world are worth the small annoyances the system presents. Being able to go into an area with monsters that are going to be harder but being able to find a weapon that is on level is better than being locked out of an area until you find something to make your permanent weapon stronger. Also means there is risk/reward when fighting enemies with weapons that would one-hit them, since you will lose that badass weapon and you might actually want it later.
It being the same with shields is pretty good to, since it actually makes you think about the shield you are using, something I rarely do in any other game.
I like that I have spent less time in some areas because I've had all my shields break, making that area seem more difficult and remain mysterious to me until I get better at using the dodge and parry mechanics.
I will say that my tolerance/acceptance of the durability system increased with my inventory abilities. Once I didn't feel that I was leaving weapons behind all the time because of lack of space, I stopped caring about weapons breaking and started to actually almost like it.

Using shields to bounce back Gaurdian beams means that I try to use weaker shields for this, but if I mess up I take even more damage. The shield also breaking means I'm usually alright with that happening, since I can use a more powerful shield to egress.

Well, I think it's a flaw. You're free to disagree and explain why, but so many people here just don't wanna hear anything resembling critique or negativity that it's starting to irk me a bit.

I've read that it does break though? It's just has the highest durability.

You don't have to "preface every with in my opinion" you can just, you know, use subjective terms. Crazy I know.

I thought someone posted here that the Hylian shield is destructable, but it has very high durability? Anyways I like the durability mechanic, you get enough weapons in this game that you never really feel short on them.
So I just finished my second dungeon,
The Gerudo Camel.
In the sliding block section that raises the neck (or tail?) of the camel, I got everything in position, then used the Magnet power, and pressed up on the D pad to push it as far away as possible, and as soon it got into position I sprinted towards the rising body platform and just barely climbed on. I think I must have missed a destructable eye thing that would have made it easier for me to get up.

If it does break that's news to me, the amount of abuse mine has taken is far and beyond even triple what my other shields have gone through.
I've been playing for more than six hours (
) but Link still feels weak as fuck. I get destroyed by almost every enemy I meet and I still suck at the game. Is that normal? Am I supposed to be much stronger at that point in the game? Is the game just that hard? I feel like I'm missing something... (I only got 3 hearts still... but a little bit more endurance)
I got the gliding sail, restored the powers to my tablet at the lab, got a fifth emblem at that fucking awful ball maze sanctuary...

Well they make a point to say it was
the place least affected by the return of Ganon
As I've journeyed around Hyrule I've found so many ruined towns and outposts. I like how it's a devastated Hyrule, but not to the point where there isn't any civilization. I was worried the world might seem barren going in to the game, but there's actually
way better designed towns than there are in any other Zelda game.

Find shrines to level up. But it can be pretty equipment based.
The main quest asks you to go to kakariko village after you finish the plateau and that's where you can get new armour.

That's been my number one cause of environmental deaths, truly survival horror level shit.
Did that section the exact same way haha
That's true, I like how they've set it up that way.

3 grand! Damnnnnn
I did the same. I think it's the right way.
EDIT: Haha, I think Jonjonaug's way is the most reliable one
Some streamer I saw talked about how it broke after 26- 27 guardian laser shots. Every other shield breaks at one shot.
I just
cut the power once I had everything in place by rotating the central part of the dungeon, walked up to the end of the Divine Beast, then rotated the power back on
Spent ages trying to figure out what to do with the
. I had to give up and look it up online which I hate doing. Turns out the
isn't where it's supposed to be. Did I do something wrong? Or have I encountered a glitch?
edit: nvm. Figured it out. Didn't realise that I had to
earlier on. And now I have no elixirs left. Grrr...

edit: nvm. Figured it out. Didn't realise that I had to
shoot at him
Enemies a lot more damage in this game than previous Zeldas, where 3 hearts was enough to beat the game on if you had some bottles and fairies. You definitely want to invest at least some in defenses. Buy/upgrade armor and cook food with defense or max hearts up properties to use on tough-looking enemies.

Does anyone have any tips for the shrines in the lost woods? I know there are 4 or so there, but I can't get anywhere but the 'main' area of it.
Are you sure you're in the main area of it? Because pretty much the npcs talk about where they are and they all have very obvious paths.

I specifically use it to instantly destroy Guardians with ancient arrows. One ancient arrow to the eye now equals three ancient arrows to the eye.

I just had three blood moons within a few minutes of playtime. First one happened in the middle of a fight against several enemies, then after I killed them (which caused them to respawn) and then after the fight again.
I hope that does not happen again... besides of that, I've had another awesome day with the game and I will finally tackle my second dungeon tomorrow. Well maybe at least, if I don't get distracted by other stuff.

Oh you access them from there? I assumed each would have a path through the lost woods.. I'll take a look.

Other people have been mentioning the Blood Moon thing. It seems to be a glitch of sorts.
Search yourself.

No other game has made me want to try so many different weapons before. I usually just stick to swords or sword-wielding classes.
Spoiler tag that stuff please . People want to figure shit out for themselves
I don't think there's a big icon telling you where it is if that's your question.
Its treated as a side quest, some npc both in the story path and outside of it mention the legendary sword but you are never required to get it.

Yeah, the weapon system's pretty awful. It'd be neat if the DLC or something added an option for infinite durability and stamina.
