That isn't true at all. You -can- use sticks to hit things, but they are terrible weapons and I never used them outside of the tutorial zone.

Weapons are dropped off of almost every enemy, and were never a problem to get, though there is a fairly high churn rate- most weapons have like 50 strikes in them (maybe 5 battles) before they break. There are a number of weapons with significantly more than that though (Zora's Diamond spear is like 300 iirc)

I never had to farm anything in that game though.
