Properties | |
Eightfold Blades are kodachi forged with Sheikah Ancient Technology, thought to be among the sharpest Weapons ever made.[1] These swords belong to the Sheikah Gear equipment archetype, a series of Weapons created by the Sheikah.[3] They can be found in West Necluda and around Lake Hylia, particularly near the Sheikah town of Kakariko Village. They can also be found in Treasure Chests that spawn after scanning the Super Smash Bros. Series Sheik amiibo with the amiibo Rune.
Since Eightfold Blades are made of metal, they can be picked up using the Magnesis Rune on the Sheikah Slate. They also attract Lightning when equipped during a Thunderstorm, and they conduct Electricity. Eightfold Blades will not burn if they are exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate.
Tears of the Kingdom[]
Eightfold Blades reappear in Tears of the Kingdom, being wielded by Yiga Footsoldiers in battle, though they have visible decay from Ganondorf's Gloom. It can be fused with other weapons and materials to enhance its potential when wielded by Link. The weapon has a higher performance when used in Sneakstrike attacks. An intact Eightfold Blade may be found in the Depths.
