I liked BotW. Weapon durability was annoying, but in practice it means you pin map locations of good weapons that respawn every blood moon updating those pins as you find better weapon spots (this step happens because the weapon is carried by some appropriate strength enemy).
Seemingly oblivious to how these two systems are deeply related: weapon durability allows the game to give you powerful items in random places without either permanently breaking the game’s difficulty or strongly incentivizing/requiring every player to visit some particular random spot.
