One of the problems with BoTW I found is that once you get enough good meals in your inventory you can just keep healing yourself indefinitely meaning it's almost impossible to die, making the game way too easy.
A way to put a stop to this would be that if link eats too many meals during a battle he becomes fat (complete with moblin belly jiggle physics) and loses speed as a result making the battle more challenging. This would encourage players learning to actually fight well, or to upgrade their health more or find better armour rather than just constantly gorging themselves.
Link could gain less weight with lean vegetable meals and more with fatty meals encouraging more healthy eating choices.
They could even add a chunder mechanic where if link eats too many meals in quick succession or rotten food he is physically sick. This is implemented in certain games usually where the player drinks too much alcohol but it might be an idea to do it for overindulgence too.
What do you think about these ideas? Should Nintendo go for a weight gain mechanic in BoTW2? Geralts beard growing over time in Witcher 3 was a small but wonderful thing so I think perhaps Zelda fans would enjoy greater realism too.
