Although the weapon durability setting, plus the limited equipment slots, makes many players with hoarding habits suffer a lot.
But in terms of gameplay and the overall game design, doing so has great advantages.
First of all, all weapons, from small branches on the ground to Guardian Axes and Royal Broadswords, each weapon can be put to use.
Instead of like in ordinary games, players always use the most suitable weapon, and the rest are either thrown into storage or sold at the store.
At the same time, each weapon has its own characteristics. For example, the Korok Leaf, which is regarded as trash by many players and can only be used to fan the wind, has excellent effects on some magic monsters.
These magic monsters fly in the sky and also have teleport skills. At the same time, these magic monsters are not alone, and often cooperate with some melee monsters.
So players are very struggling when fighting them. They want to kill the magic monsters first, but they can fly and teleport, making it difficult to kill them in a short time.
And if you hit the melee monsters on the ground first, the magic monster's constant ranged attacks are also very uncomfortable.
But at this time, if you use the Korok Leaf, you can easily fan the magic monsters to the ground and take the opportunity to attack.
But in addition to these detailed contents, the game's portrayal of the story and characters also makes some players sigh.
Judging from the old king's narration at the beginning of the Shrine of Resurrection, this is a very old-fashioned story of a hero saving a princess.
Even as they play, many players have forgotten about the princess.
But as they play deeper, the four villages of different styles and the four Champions who have died and turned into spirits are all impressive to players.
The Divine Beasts in the game do not have a specific order in which they must be defeated, but after many related strategy videos came out, most players' first stop will be a place called Zora's Domain.
This is not because this place is very close to the starting village, Kakariko Village, but because of one of the four Champions - Mipha.
Here, the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, which has been silent for a century, has recently awakened. And because the Divine Beast itself has the ability to create 'water', it is now generating a large amount of 'water' without limit from within its body.
This water causes continuous rain in the Zora region every day, and the reservoir is rising rapidly and is about to burst.
The only thing that can paralyze Divine Beast Vah Ruta is shock arrows, but the Zora people fear lightning the most.
So Prince Sidon (Mipha's younger brother), who inherits Mipha's will, leads the young Zora people, despite the opposition of the elders in the tribe, to search for Hylians everywhere to help the Zora people overcome the crisis.
In this situation, Link comes.
But not everyone in Zora's Domain welcomes Link.
The young Zora people who once played with Link are very close to him.
The warriors who once fought alongside Link live in a century of regret over the loss of Mipha.
Perhaps to escape their own helplessness, or simply unable to accept the death of Princess Mipha, they blame everything on Link.
As the Zora princess, Mipha was a gentle healer who constantly healed the front-line warriors.
She was also a devoted princess who silently loved Link but ultimately failed to express her love.
She had healed Link's wounds many times when he was injured.
'No matter how many times, no matter how serious the injury, I will... always protect you.'
'After our battle with Calamity Ganon is over, would you still be willing to... come here and play with me like when we were kids?'
'Thank you, thanks to you, my soul has been freed, and I have also reclaimed Vah Ruta.'
'But... I don't think I can... play with you like before anymore.'
Mipha in spirit form slowly walks towards Link.
'My healing power is the same, I have become a spirit.'
'I can no longer use that power...'
'So, I want to pass this power on to you... pass on my power... Mipha's Grace to you.'
'Until yesterday, I was still crying... because I became a spirit and was trapped here... I thought that from now on I would always be alone, I was... But today, you risked your life to save me, and I saw you again.'
'And next, my power will also help you.'
'So... I'm fine now.'
'Then... I'm leaving.'
In the end, Link leaves Divine Beast Vah Ruta, and Mipha in spirit form stands on the Divine Beast looking at Zora's Domain in the distance.
'Father, are you okay?'
'I have never listened to you, making you worry about me... If I could... I really want to... see you one more time.'
Looking at Mipha's lonely back at the end, some emotional players couldn't help but shed tears.
And after being sad, these players rioted.
They all came to Lucas's official blog to leave messages.
They thought this was just an ordinary story of defeating a demon king, as easy and happy as Odyssey.
Of course, in addition to the lovable Princess Mipha, the other three Champions are also full of personality.
As the Goron hero Daruk, he had seen Link's swordsmanship before Link became a hero, and because Link had saved his life once and ate the rock roast he gave him, he became a good brother with Link.
Just like his large size, this is also a big brother-like character, different from Mipha's healing power given to Link.
Daruk will block all attacks for Link, even if he is dead, he will still protect his brother's back.
And Revali is very proud. His relationship with Link is not good. Although he admits Link's ability, he always thinks he is the strongest. Just like a child showing off an expensive toy, Revali never forgets to show off his abilities at any time, hoping Zelda and the hero will admit that he is the main force in eliminating Ganon and saving the world.
But even so, when the Calamity comes, he can understand the greater good, abandon personal honor, and drive Divine Beast Vah Medoh to assist Link.
And when he meets Link again, the proud Revali is still unwilling to admit that Link is stronger than himself.
However, he finally gave his most proud ability to Link, and after Link was teleported away, he silently admitted Link, even without wings, can reach Divine Beast Vah Medoh here, he is indeed a hero stronger than himself.
And there is Urbosa, the heroic big sister who is an old friend of Princess Zelda's mother and has powerful abilities.
But what impresses players is not that cool snap.
But here, Link is dressed in women's clothing.
