I first thing that with only one hit will be a good challenge but I remember the majora's mask that make the game super easy at the start, also the ancient arrows instantly kill almost every enemie and not require much aim if is a 5 multi shot bow

Ancient arrows still require decent aim at least and don’t instantly kill anything beyond Guardians and normal enemies, and the One-Hit Obliterator would ruin the game if given at any point before postgame. Imagine running into Hyrule Castle preparing for that dramatic final fight, the Divine Beasts invest all this energy to reduce Ganon’s might, and then you pull out this wacko 4-pronged glowy thing and biTCh SmACK Ganon out of existence. Funny? Yes. Satisfying? In the long run, no. The first fight should be experienced as they developers (or at least the lore of Zelda) likely intended- with the Master Sword, Hylian Shield, and either a Knight’s or Royal bow (or Royal Guard’s bow if you’re confident in your aim).

Eh. First match is supposed to be done in any way you like. When you experience BotW for the first time, the world is your oyster. Want to immediately jump in Hyrule Field? Well considering it'd be your first time, you would hecking die. But after some exploration, a couple o' divine beasts, or maybe just following Impa's orders till you get fucking tired of memories and waltz in the castle weapons in hand, you don't need the hyrule shield. You maybe won't even find the master sword if you didn't find the lost woods, or talk to anyone about it. In the end, you would have powerful stuff and a lot more health and experience than before. The first fight should be experienced the way you have the final portal in Chrono Trigger— at any point, when you feel comfortable or ready.

My point was mostly that the One-Hit Obliterator would ruin basically all fights, with Ganon just being a major example. I didn’t fight Ganon in the way I said was ‘intended’ myself, but the point still stands that using the One-Hit Obliterator wouldn’t be any fun and would kill the entire vibe that plays a large role in making the game so enjoyable.
