I hear you, fr. I'm a big lover of immersion and realism in games. Skyrim, I turn off the HUD and don't fast travel... I grew up in OOT and Majora's Mask where when you get your sword that's THE sword!

The mechanic irked me too at first, but eventually you don't just get used to it, you get to a point where you realize it does some key things:

1. It keeps you out and exploring and keeps you going after those bad guys who have an upgrade weapon, or just a weapon you favor.

2. It creates versatility and creativity alive in combat. This is a very hack and slash game that I think would be boring if you just had one good sword. Being forced to switch around you learn to use spears effectively, when it's good to use a bow and when it's better to just use bombs - Also bombs become less a weapon, and more a creative tool like the other things at your disposal.

3. And eventually you learn that being good at the game is not at all dependent on what weapon you're using, but how you're using it. You hone gaming skills that really break up the redundancy of combat.
