Lizalfos Gear

The is a recurring archetype of BotW: in.

Lizalfos Gear is a type of Weapon wielded by NaN Lizalfoss, which is found in three tiers of increasing quality and durability.

Basic Lizalfos gear is most commonly found in the possession of basic Lizalfos. It is the product of low-quality metalwork, which makes weapons of this tier relatively fragile and weak. The second tier of gear is typically wielded by NaN Blue Lizalfoss. It includes additional metal that gives it greater durability, and also possess greater attacking power. The final tier of weaponry is used by wielded by NaN Black Lizalfoss, NaN Silver Lizalfoss and NaN Golden Lizalfoss, and is further strengthened and reinforced by metal enhancements.

One-handed weapons within this archetype are notable for their curved blades, which give them a BotW:-like shape that allows them to return their owner when thrown. Higher-tier variants of these weapons posses more forked blades, but still return when thrown. Lizalfos spears are instead distinguished by blades lined with hooks and barbed edges, designed to tear and rip at foes. They are sometimes used for fishing in addition to combat. Lizalfos bows are fashioned from the flexible branches of a type of waterside tree, increasing the spring of the weapon and thus the strength with which it projects arrows. The grip of basic bows is reinforced with the bones of large BotW:; higher tiers are instead metal, which covers most of the weapon in the highest-quality bows used by skilled Lizalfos marksmen.

As Lizalfos Gear is formed from metal, all weapons within this archetype sink in water, do not burn when exposed to BotW:, attract lightning, and can be manipulated through Magnesis. The exception to this are the first two tiers of bows, which consist primarily of wood and thus float, burn, do not attract lightning, and are not magnetic.
