Honestly with Animal Crossing Release i do feel like they are now inching towards durability as a lasting mechanic, especially if they bring something like weapon crafting or upgrading systems, it seems Nintendo thinks durability is something to extend gameplay and make people want more when it...
Personally i'd rather see a return of weapon reinforcement similar to how SS did it, if weapons did break they should give us weapon fragments so we can either remake the weapon or use to re-forge another weapon to give it higher durability.
I quite enjoyed the weapon durability in BOTW made...
