Breath of the Wild Different Play Styles?

[ReveredPartisan]

We've seen in the demo that Link can pick up and wield almost any weapon in the game, ranging from bows and one handed swords to clubs, axes, and hammers. Do you think the game, a la Skyrim and other RPGs, will accommodate different play styles, such that a dedicated archer will have a different experience than a swordsman or a "heavy" player wielding hammers and clubs? Will their be an advantage to choosing and sticking to one weapon type? Or will it be more of a WW, "pick it up and play around with it" set up?

Looks like it will be more of try everything and see what you like best sort of thing. At first it looks like you will be limited but once you gain access to shops I think you might be able to buy the kind of weapons you enjoy using most.

If we're talking about a Skyrim-esque combat system, it'd be really awesome to have a stealth mechanic in the game.

There is a stealth mechanic in the game.

Ah stupid me. I meant to say a stealth damage multiplier like in Skyrim. Where a sneak attack does more damage, y'know?
