Tears of the kingdom - little late to the party but it’s a fun game.
remember to not update the software and lock it to whatever version you initially have. It's gonna be very hard to amass resources if you aren't planning to use dup exploits or play it for a very long time. (preferably pre 1.1.2)
I don't know about all that, I've put maybe about 50 hours into it with no dupes and I find that I almost always have pretty good amounts of most things. Sure, you CAN cheat yourself a gorillion zonaite and get max batteries right at the beginning of the game, or infinite of the best weapon fuse materials, but.... why? They're not really that hard to come across and you're robbing yourself of one of the key reasons to even explore the world in the first place.
I don't know how far you did in terms of BotW, but the way it works burn me out(upgrading gears and inventory slots) so this time around I just decide to dupe stuff. It make the work feel a lot more like a good play ground for exploration compare to really constraint weird grind fest. Let's use your zonite example as material source.
But it made my korok shipping SO MUCH FUN compare to without duping those charges/autobuild parts. Like it literally changes the boring and repetitive quests(like holding the sign in place ones) into a fun experiment platforms. Duping the parts also make fusing a lot less "punishing" as some of the better parts are required to upgrade as well. I don't have to "conserve" just go whacking and don't get too annoyed like BotW when weapons break. (as most of the damage comes from fusing, not the weapon states.)
Note, I haven't even build homes etc to dup weapons/bows/shields, and it just unlocks the game so much without the gathering grind. (so the old blood moon weapon/material gather runs is no longer needed.) Like, yeah, I really don't have that much free time to dedicate to one game, so if I have the option to by pass any grind mechanics that also doesn't "break" the game, I am gonna just do it.
I told myself I'm not buying Final Fantasy until I'm done with Tears of the Kingdom and now I'm sweating nervously at the release date next week.
