re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Supposedly there are no weapon repairs in BotW only picking up new weapons which are literally everywhere. From gameplay I've watched it doesn't seem like it'll ever be an issue past the first 30 minutes of the game where you're using tree branches and rusty swords that break in three hits.

They seem to have balanced it so that you don't have to put any extra effort into obtaining more weapons unless you just want to.
