Along with a new direction of openness and freedom, Breath of the Wild also seems to be doubling down on its RPG roots. This time around, weapons and shields will degrade over time, so you’ll need to be collecting new swords, axes, and shields from enemies and chests. That also means that the game now has a wider variety of weapons that simply swords; axes are slow but high in damage and great for chopping down trees, swords are fast and reliable, and clubs are great as torches but not so much in combat. You’ll also be finding higher tier weapons over time, so a simple training sword found in the first area will pale in comparison to a weapon dropped by a boss or found later on.
