Slingshots (less powerful than traditional bows but faster), crossbows (more powerful than traditional bows but slower), whips (great range, can hit through shield/disarm enemies but slow and weak), daggers (fast, can hit past shield, and can partially block, but weak and low range. You could make them have a higher damage modifier for stealth hits), spell books (similar to Din's Fire/Farore's Wind/Nayru's Love but more varied), and dual swords (medium range, medium power, high speed, and can partially block, but it takes a small amount of stamina per attack). This way, you have some more variety in weapons. You could choose the high dps option (dual sword), but you'll need to watch your stamin much closer, you could play it safe and outrange your enemies with whips, but you have to aim well and have patience.

daggers? muskets?

I don't think we need new types of weapons, but I'd appreciate it if they made it so that not all weapons were breakable. I thought this aspect of the game was a huge bummer. Breakable weapons made the early game scramble really fun, but it just becomes tedious later and kind of sucks the fun out of finding treasure

This is an underrated post, a lasso that reacts realistically to the surroundings and lets you tie up/tether things would be a great addition to a sandbox-style Zelda like a BotW followup. Especially if it had further uses, like in climbing/swinging.

EDIT: And I'd also like it if special weapons weren't breakable. The champion weapons breaking and needing a diamond (!!!) to be repaired was a huge bummer.
