I mean there is something to what he's saying. It's one of the only Zelda games I never beat because the weapon breaking was stupid. Maybe I will pick it up again on an emulator where I can turn off the weapon breaking and enjoy the game.
I don't get this complaint, it's such a non issue in practice. The second I got the notice whatever was about to break, I just hurled it at the nearest enemies' face. Congrats you just picked up a new weapon.
It's like impossible to actually run out. They're everywhere.
