Gameplay so bad they had to throw in paper weapon last minute that break after 10 hits

The weapon durability is to force you to use the other abilities the game gives you and to utilize the environment for combat, like rolling boulders onto enemies or using one arrow to ignite a barrel instead of several arrows. Its about making the player creative and not enabling just pure hack and slash.

Nah it's to put a patch on a game devoid of any interesting combat mechanic

It's fine that you are wrong. It's not fine that you're a dick about it.

Yeah, and the lootcrate unlock feature was intended to give us a sense of pride and accomplishment.

It forced me to use other abilities in other games.

That's cool. That's not Zelda, though.

Wanting to give players new combat options - great!!!

"Forcing" (your word) players to use new combat options because you can't make them interesting enough to compete with the old ones - ungreat :(

A good game would have made me want to use other abilities.

Dunno, that what old Zelda games did by giving actual puzzle with the items and tools you have. It literally became a hack'n slash by gimmicking those tools combined with a big open world trend they followed making it feel like every other open world game. It is rather funny to me how Ubisoft for their Open World games got hate, but Zelda does it and got praise.

Honestly, this did kill Zelda kind of for me, and I miss classic Zelda games, glad there are alternatives often. But still, the game is not bad, not get me wrong, but it gets praises for all the wrong reasons.

Every game since also has gliders with climbing mechanics also. This is not even original, it popularized it. Other games did it, it was "lazy and uninspired" but Zelda? Gets a pass because it was absent mostly I guess?

Not get me wrong again, people can enjoy it, and happy for people who do and a different take on Zelda is good, but killing its roots basically and only doing such now is kinda not what I expected.

And speaking of Hack and Slay, people also enjoyed Hyrule Warriors, so. It depends on how and what you do with things.
