The other day in order to finish a quest I had started earlier, I just needed to carry a blue flame from one lantern to another that was about 10 feet away. But I had to wait, no joke, about 10 minutes to do this because of rain.

And the fact that climbing is almost impossible in the rain, and climbing is required for exploring like almost 50% of the terrain. That's just bad design.

People complain about rain all the time.

But eventually rain will be only a minor hindrance at most.

LOL no. Rain hindered me from doing what I needed to do more than 25% of the time. The fact that rain literally prevents you from doing so many things, and that it rains SO MUCH really frustrates me.

Weapons breaking never bothered me because I always use my weakest weapon. That way I always have a stronger one if I need it.

I changed the wording to reflect what I meant to say. Rain is more of an early game problem.

It's just a way to keep players from straight brute forcing exploration with the OP climbing mechanics all the time.

Aside from the random poles and a few structures, most of the terrain has a way to navigate without needing extra stamina, while it's raining. You just have to find that path.

The once exception being the lantern quest. For that you have to just wait for a bout of clear weather, which can be done by resting at an inn, or campfire. Remember that campfires can be created with a stack of wood, and any flame source (flint and metal weapon, fire weapon, fire arrow, etc).

I still disagree. Perhaps Rivali's gale can make reaching high places easier, but you're still going to need to climb a fair bit.

Weapon is also an early game problem imo. Most of the time my inventory was full as fuck.

At least with lightning all you had to do was take off anything metal you were wearing. And you can use it as a weapon if you time throwing a metal weapon just right. With rain, not much you could do about it if there isn't shelter nearby.

You just have to not hold anything metallic. I'd say rain is really the only thing without a clean solution

What? Rain is by far my biggest issue with BotW, and the lack of non-slip climbing gear

I honestly don't know if I agree with that or not. It's certainly got some problems that would make me question why it was GOTY material, but I spent over a hundred hours on it and enjoyed it all. That's more than what I can say for some Zelda games.

Lightning is more of an annoyance than anything.

With rain, most of the time it grinds the game to a screeching halt, especially if you have to climb or use any sort of flame.

Not bitching. Making an observation that the game is designed to create minor annoyances that reduced my enjoyment of the experience. I didnt say the game was shit or overrated, did I?

yeah that sounds like bitching over a non-issue

While you're at it why not bitch about the cold weather in the mountain regions, also an "annoyance" since you need to have food for it or hot gear, or maybe about the deserts with the thunderstorm areas, or the heat?

literally bitching like a baby over game mechanics that makes the game feel like the world is real.

One of my fond memories of BOTW was it pouring down during the night and then finding a ruin to set up a fire at where I rested until it was a bright and sunny morning.

I did have some annoyances with it and I can understand why people dislike it but little moments like that gave BOTW a lot of life for me. Usually rain in a game means absolutely nothing outside of visuals.

Soooo sorry I didnt think the game was perfect.

Frankly, this just sounds like you bitching, not me. You really shouldnt get so worked up about things that, by your own admission, arent that important.
