The weapon durability kills me. And the fact that it doesn't auto switch to your next best weapon when it breaks. I have no clue how to cook anything whatsoever

The weapon durability kills me. And the fact that it doesn't auto switch to your next best weapon when it breaks. I have no clue how to cook anything whatsoever. There was never a guide in the game so I'm getting farther in the game without any special powers. Bows that break after shooting too many arrows, ugh...

The weapon durability one makes me feel like they took the worse parts of Skyrim and left out all the good ones. I really wish we could repair weapons and craft new ones. With the way it is you can easily end up in a situation where you have no weapons and a bunch of ennemies in front of you. I recently did the shrine dubbed "Major test of strength" and I literally when through 4 melee weapons and 3 shields, all because the damn guardian had 3000 hp. It's just ridiculous.

  You can shield parry guardians. I mean, missing the parry is almost guaranteed death, but it deals a lot of damage.

    It wasn't a true guardian. It was one of those things with a shield, sword and spear. It only shoots a beam when it's low on hp.

  I kind of want to be on your side about the weapon durability. It annoyed me at first. But by the first beast I almost found it to be the other way around. I leave so many weapons behind because even after doubling my weapon inventory size I'm still constantly full of high caliber weapons. Especially after getting the Master Sword. All of the guardians I have faced in the combat shrines drop weapons that at least equal (usually exceed) the total damage/durability consumed to defeat them. Also: Shooting the guardians in the eye stuns them giving you a long window of respite during a fight.

I don't mind weapon durability too much, it forces you to manage your weapons a bit instead of always using the strongest one you have. I do wish it'd auto-switch in the heat of battle. For cooking, pick an ingredient and select Hold, select the others, then go stand in front of a pot over a lit fire (of which you encounter plenty). The game will tell you to press A to cook. To restore health, just put a bunch of mushrooms and meat in a pot. Some mushrooms, herbs, crabs, fish, etc. tell you that they'll make you faster/stronger/less cold/etc., just throw them in with the meat. For elixirs just mix butterflies, lizards, etc. with boko horn, tooth, etc. Also if you get hearty radishes, you can throw them in a pot without anything else and it's basically full restore + extra hearts. It's broken.

By the way, the old man does give a cooking tutorial in the Great Plateau, but you have to seek him out for it. Cooking is encouraged there as a way to deal with the cold to access one of the shrines. You can either cook hot peppers to make something to keep you warm or you can find a special recipe in a cabin; if you make the recipe for the old man (determining in the process the unknown third ingredient), he'll give you a warm doublet which will prevent the cold from damaging you.

If you want to learn more recipes, simply read people's diaries when you go into their homes. Like in Hateno village, one of the first houses, you can break in and learn a pumpkin stew recipe by reading those diaries.
