Does the gameplay get better or is this what it's like for the rest of the game? I like the shrines, since that's more Zelda like, but they're like 5 minutes with maybe 1 or 2 puzzles and you're done.

Side note, weapons breaking every three-five enemies is a very irritating mechanic.
Unfortunately, that's how the game is. I am probably in the minority but I found it a huge step down from Skyward Sword, which I found to be a near-perfect take on the Zelda formula.

I guess they no longer want to follow the formula that made the games fun in the first place.

That said, BotW still has its moments, particularily some of the shrines and hunt quests.
