Nowwhenever I get attacked, I just run away, or sometimes run straight through the monster camp (if that's the quickest path to where I'm going to), getting a few arrow hits but saving a lot of time.
Even if the camp isn't guarding a chest, they usually have other resources nearby that are difficult to gather while monsters chase you. These resources include things like fish in nearby streams, ore deposits, or a set of weapons.
Sometimes the monsters are just annoying. I can't tell you how many times I stood still to enjoy the view or to get my bearings when suddenly I get hit in the face with a random Octorok spitball. Or a Lizalfos decided to chase me while I was chasing a Korok.
Sometimes killing monsters will save a nearby traveler. They'll thank you and give you a reward - usually some mid-to-high tier food. (Occasionally it will actually be a trap, and you'll be attacked by the Yiga clan instead... stay on your toes!)
The number is based on rarest drop required. You may need more kills if you don't get enough of the other drops (esp. guardians). Note that the base tier of most monsters do not drop it so you'll probably still need to kill more than listed.
Once you've got all that then there's no need to keep engaging. Indeed, items become available (purchased indirectly with more monster parts) that make the main monsters (bokoblins, moblins, lizalfos and lynels) ignore you so you can more easily skip them.
As you mentioned, monsters are a source of potion ingredients as well as minor loot. While neither of these are an exceptional way to improve your wealth novice players may find shrines or combat with bosses too challenging. This is an easy and safe way to amass some wealth.
Players can also use these camps as practice. As I mentioned, for players who are new to gaming this is one of the safest ways to practice combat, learn the controls, or try out a new weapon or fighting style. While you may not find it personally worthwhile, other players might.
Lastly, the camps are for entertainment. If you want to experiment and see what is the wackiest chain of events you can create using a bomb or stasis this is a good place to do it. Plentiful non-challenging enemies can make for some entertaining fights.
The truth of the matter is not everybody plays using the same "optimized" methodology it appears you use. While you may find it important to only use the most efficient methods to acquire new gear or money, other players may not. When viewing it with this perspective, these camps serve as much as a source of entertainment as they do a challenge.
In addition to the access to resources and items to upgrade your items as per Mage Xy and OrangeDog, the item drops that are useful for elixirs can also be exchanged for Mon at the Fang and Bone shop. This isn't an early game shop and requires you to complete a quest to access.
At this shop you can sell monster parts for Mon. Mon can be used to purchase items at his store most of which cannot be obtained elsewhere. The Mon-exclusive items are Masks (Bokoblin, Moblin, Lizaldos and Lynel), Dark Hood, Dark Tunic, Dark Trousers, and the Spring-Loaded Hammer. All these items have uses. The Hammer is also useful for completing the Hyrule Compendium should you not wish to buy its photo.
The only way to get Mon without killing monsters and selling their monster parts is with drops from dragons and guardians. Drops from dragons and guardians are more valuable and generally better used for other purposes such as armor upgrades.
So if you are the type of player who wants to clear an area, or complete as much of the game as you can, you will want to open every treasure chest you can, and in many cases that means needing to defeat monsters.
Other treasure chests are simply guarded by enemies, but defeating them is not a requirement. However, often you will be forced to at least fight or sneak your way through monsters to get the chest, even if you don't actually defeat them.
I fully agree that early on clearing out monsters is often a waste of equipment given BOTWs notorious weapon durability system. However things change as soon as you acquire the Master Sword, which is the only weapon in the game that lasts forever. It does "lose energy" after a while and you'll need to wait for 10 real life minutes for it to recharge, but that's good enough for periodically clearing out monster camps. So the optimal strategy is:

Welcome, stranger! This a blog dedicated to things I love in general. My current obsession is to discuss Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
I like discussion, so feel free to ask me stuff! Does BotW Princess Zelda have the Triforce?No.
So in these games, it is simply a mark of the hero. Link has the symbol on his hand before he comes in contact with the Triforce, as seen in the opening, and never possesses the Triforce either in this game.
In this game, the Triforce pieces work just like they do in OoT, WW, and TP- glowy pieces means having the Triforce piece it is associated with. When Yuga-Ganon has two pieces of the Triforce, we see both of them glow:
I say no personally. Princess Zelda in SS states that the Crest is proof of sacred power. BotW Zelda has sacred power - her sealing power. So it could be a manifestation of her sealing power coming into play, rather than her using the Triforce.
If you're anything like me (a huge video game nerd and a professional pet photographer), you were probably pretty excited to discover interactive dogs in the latest Zelda installment, Breath of the Wild (BOTW). This isn't the first time that dogs appeared in the Zelda franchise, but the level of interactivity and shear whimsicalness of the canine edition to the game is arguably unprecedented.
Unlike in a lot of other video games, the dogs in BOTW aren't forced into the role of combatant or relegated to mindless window dressing. What is even more interesting about the dogs in BOTW is that their bond isn't assumed. In many games, such as Skyrim, you can just buy a dog and it would follow you loyally where ever you go. But in BOTW you have to work to earn a dog's trust and there are limits of what it will do for you.
While the number of different interactions you can share with dogs in this game are admittedly fairly limited - especially as there is no way to actually pet any of these dogs - what impressed us was how the developers caught the over all feel and magic experience of meeting a free range dog. In many ways, hanging out with the dogs in BOTW reminded me of our wonderful experiences meeting the wonderful stray dogs of Chile, especially the moments we shared with the dogs of Valparaso, San Pedro de Atacama, Santiago, and Torres del Paine.
Just like with training a dog in real life, a little effort goes a long way when bonding with the dogs in BOTW. In fact, many of the activities that you would share with a dog in the real world translate into in-game activities, games and tricks.
In Breath of the Wild you can bond with a dog just by spending time near it, running around with the dog, or by playing fetch with a branch. But just like in the real world, the surest and quickest way to bond with a dog is to reward it with a tasty treat.
There are two foods that dogs especially like in BOTW, raw meat and apples. But as we are talking about a video game, it's not enough to just feed the dog. You're going to want to make sure that you're bonding with your new dog friend by interacting with them the way the developers intended.
Dogs can be found randomly throughout the wilds of Hyrule, but they are most consistently found near people. Cities, towns, and especially stables are all great places to find dogs. Make sure that you're working with an actual dog. The dogs in this game look like Border Collies. The dogs that look like Huskies and German Shepherds are not in fact dogs and are actually wolves. None of the following steps will work with wolves.
Orient Link so that he is face-to-face with the dog you wish to bond with. Some players have had luck just hanging around or even moving about near a dog. But we find we get the most consistent and reliable results simply by crouching in front of the dog and looking them in the face.
Just like most real dogs, the fastest way to a dog's heart in the Breath of the Wild is through its belly. Dogs in BOTW tend to prefer raw meat and apples. To feed a dog, simply drop an item from your inventory near the dog. The dog should begin to follow you as soon as you've fed it once -- allowing you to play fetch with it by tossing a branch or even make it chase its own tail by running in a circle around the dog. To maximize your bond as quickly as possible, feed the dog 3 raw meats or 4 apples.
Bonding with dogs in BOTW is fun, but there are also some interesting perks to befriending dogs in this game. If you maximize your bond with a dog it will lead Link to a secret chest. To remove the metal chest from the ground, simply levitate it with the help of your Magnesis rune.
Most of the treasure chests revealed by dogs will contain a handful of Rubies - making them a great early game perk. But a few dogs in the game will lead Link to better treasures when fully bonded, such as weapons, arrows, and unique items. In fact, bonding with dogs in Breath of the Field is how Star Fragments are found near the Snowfield Stable and Lurelin Village locations.
Unfortunately there is no way to really pet a dog in Breath of the Wild. However if you unequip your weapons and push the melee attack button when near a dog repeatedly it is possible to get Link to flail about in a way that kind of looks like he is petting the dog.
The game will even reward your efforts by increasing your bonding with the dog slightly when you do this (similar to how playing fetch does), but despite this increase in affection there is no animation for petting a dog. We don't know if this was an oversight by the Breath of the Wild developers or a bug, but it is a feature we wish they would add to the game soon. Maybe we will all get lucky in Breath of the Wild 2? Finger crossed!
