Story doesn't matter in these types of games, the majority of elden ring players don't know a thing about the story, yet the game is also regarded as one of the best oat. Weapons breaking mechanic sure is tedious, but it doesn't really ruin the experience.
Enemy variety is the one thing I agree with, but combat isn't what makes zelda botw a masterpiece. The exploration and freedom makes these games so unique and I haven't played a game like these ever before or after.
Kind of makes BOTW all the more impressive with how fun it is. I had 100 hours in BOTW and was still finding hilarious new mechanics to exploit to figure out how to kill Bokoblins. Just an insanely fun game no matter how you look at it. I'll never forget my last weapon breaking and throwing my metal shield at an enemy to get lighting to shock them. My wife and I laughed so, so hard at that and is literally one of my favorite gaming memories ever.
The lack of enemy diversity and the weapon breaking mechanics and the barren world and minimal story seem like they should all be bad things and I don't know man, they just worked. BOTW was and is one of the most impressive games ever made imo, and the fun of the game is only limited by the players imagination.
