Properties | |
Royal Guard's Claymores are part of the Royal Guard's Series, an equipment archetype that includes the Royal Guard's Sword, the Royal Guard's Spear, the Royal Guard's Bow, and the Royal Guard's Shield.[3] The Sheikah used Ancient Technology to forge them.[1] They were initially designed to help defend against the Great Calamity, but they found little use due to their low durability.[1] All Royal Guard's Claymores are found in Hyrule Castle. They can be found in Lockup and the Guards' Chamber.
When Link speaks to Parcy at Riverside Stable, she will tell him about the equipment belonging to the Royal Guards inside Hyrule Castle, and she laments that she could not find all of it.[4] This will give Link "The Royal Guard's Gear" Side Quest. A Royal Guard's Claymore can be turned in for this quest in exchange for a Gold Rupee.[5][6] Afterwards, Parcy will give Link a Topaz if he keeps bringing her Royal Guard's Claymores.[7]
Royal Guard's Claymores are made of metal, which means they will attract Lightning when equipped during a Thunderstorm and conduct Electricity. They also can not burn near a Fire or in a Scorching Climate, and they can be picked up using the Magnesis Rune. However, they will sink if they are dropped inWater.

- A glitch allowing for the obtaining of infinite Topazes can occur when Parcy takes the Royal Guard's Claymore, but it remains within the inventory. This glitch can also be used with the Royal Guard's Sword.
