The problem is that I don't want to use different weapons. Some people play Monster Hunter with a bunch of different weapons depending on the hunt, but I don't, and the game respects that. In a game like BotW I don't want to use my cool thing because then it will go away and I'll be sad.

I think some previous Zelda entries did a much better job at making bosses feel like puzzles, particularly Link Between Worlds. In BotW you can just eat a feast and mash buttons.
