The various Weapons in Breath of the Wild. See a list below.
List Of Weapons
Each of the Weapons in Breath of the Wild can usually be picked up from various Creatures and Enemies depending on what they're carrying. Often you can find Weapons hidden here and there, or in Shrines throughout Hyrule.
Swords
Swords,(TLoZ | LA | TFH | BotW)[1][2][3] also known as Fighter's Swords,(ALttP)[4] are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda series.
Location and uses
The Legend of Zelda
First appearing in The Legend of Zelda, the Sword can be obtained in a Cave accessed from the starting screen. Inside, Link finds an Old Man who tells him to take the Sword because it is dangerous to travel alone.[5] The Sword has two additional color variants which appear when Link wears either the Blue Ring or the Red Ring. The Sword can damage almost every enemy, but it is one of the weakest items in the game. However, the Sword can be replaced by the White Sword and then the Magical Sword, which each deals twice the damage of its predecessor. A Sword that is designed like a rapier is depicted on the Title Display of the game. It is not confirmed to be any of the Swords that can be obtained in the game.
A Link to the Past
SwordThere are four levels of power. The damage your sword does increases with each level.
The Fighter's Sword is given to Link by his Uncle along with the Fighter's Shield as he enters Hyrule Castle. Link uses the Fighter's Sword until he obtains the Master Sword.
During the credits, Link's Uncle is shown using the Fighter's Sword again.
Link's Awakening
SwordThis trusty blade is your main weapon. You can use it to attack enemies or cut the grass. Rumor has it that there is a more powerful Sword hidden on Koholint Island.
The Sword in Link's Awakening is the first Sword that Link can obtain. It is from Link's previous adventures and has his name engraved on it.[6] Link finds it on Toronbo Shores shortly after waking up after his crash on Koholint Island. By bringing 20 Secret Seashells to the Seashell Mansion, Link can replace it with the Level 2 Sword.[7][8]
By holding his Sword out, Link can move while he keeps facing the same direction.[9] If Link then releases his Sword, he will perform a Whirling Blade attack,[10] which deals more damage than a regular Sword blow.[11]
Link can also hit walls with his Sword to determine whether or not they can be destroyed using Bombs.[12]
Tri Force Heroes
The Sword is used by the Links in Tri Force Heroes.[13] It changes appearance when certain outfits are worn, such as the Sword Suit, the Sword Master Suit, the Dapper Spinner, the Hero's Tunic, Ninja Gi, the Spin Attack Attire and the Tri Suit. While wearing the Fierce Deity Armor, the Sword becomes the Fierce Deity Sword. In addition, the Sword becomes a Telescope while wearing Linebeck's Uniform, and a parasol while wearing the Lady's Ensemble.
Breath of the Wild
The Sword in Breath of the Wild can be obtained randomly from a Treasure Chest dropped by scanning The Legend of Zelda Link amiibo with the amiibo Rune. It is described as a Sword that was once wielded by a hero in an ancient age.[3] Its appearance resembles its design throughout the artwork of The Legend of Zelda.
Being made of metal, the Sword will conduct Electricity attract Lightning during Thunderstorms. It will sink if it is dropped in Water, but it can be picked up again and manipulated using the Magnesis Rune. It is also unable to burn when exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate.
In other media
The Legend of Zelda (TV series)
In the "Stinging a Stinger" episode of The Legend of Zelda TV series, Sleezenose offers Link a Sword as a sign of gratitude for having saved him.[14] Although Link first hesitates to trade it in for his Crissword,[15] Sleezenose explains that anyone who carries the Sword is made irresistible to women, especially princesses.[16] This convinces Link and causes him to immediately hand over his old Sword when he hears Princess Zelda screaming for help.[17] When Link finds Zelda, she is being attacked by a Patra.[18] The young hero, confident about his new Sword, faces an incoming Patra, but one beam from the foe breaks the Sword in half and causes Link to collapse from the attack. When he looks up and sees the broken Sword, he realizes that he has been tricked by Sleezenose. Link leaves behind the broken Sword when Ganon appears and captures him.
Link's Awakening (Cagiva)
In the Link's Awakening manga by Ataru Cagiva, Link finds his lost Sword at Toronbo Shores after waking up from the shipwreck. During the fight against the Angler Fish, Link breaks the Sword after stabbing the boss on its head.
Spinoff appearances
The Faces of Evil
In The Faces of Evil, the Sword is used as Link's main weapon.[19] As well as being used to fight enemies with, it is also used to pick up dropped items and talk to characters by striking them. In the game's tutorial, the Sword is also referred to as a "Smart Sword", and it is explained that it will not hurt friendly characters but instead encourage them to talk.[20]
Link can later receive a stronger Sword called the Power Sword, which replaces his standard Sword.
The Wand of Gamelon
In The Wand of Gamelon, the Sword is used as Zelda's main weapon.[21] Identically to The Faces of Evil, it is also able to pick up items and encourage characters to talk, in addition to fighting enemies with. The Sword is also referred to as a "Smart Sword" in the game's tutorial.[22]
As in The Faces of Evil, Zelda can later find the stronger Power Sword. It replaces her standard Sword.
Trivia
- In The Legend of Zelda, when the Old Man gives Link the Sword, he tells Link the line, "IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS."[5] This line has become a famous line throughout the Zelda fanbase, even being referenced in media of The Legend of Zelda series, like Hyrule Warriors, where Impa references the line when talking to Zelda.[23]

Hammers
Hammers,[1][2] also known as Magic Hammers(ALttP | FSA | TFH)[3][4] are recurring items in The Legend of Zelda series. [name reference needed]
Location and uses
Hammers can be used to press switches, destroy certain obstacles, such as boulders, or as a weapon.
Mainline appearances
The Adventure of Link
The Hammer is found within the Death Mountain region of western Hyrule in The Adventure of Link. It is used to smash large Boulders that are occasionally found in Hyrule's overworld, often unblocking pathways and revealing new objects underneath. It can also be used to cut Trees down in the overworld.[5]
A Link to the Past
Magic HammerUse this hammer to pound stakes and other obstacles into the ground. The magic hammer is also effective against some enemies, but it is best used in conjunction with another weapon.
The Magic Hammer is found in the Palace of Darkness in A Link to the Past. It can remove obstacles from Link's path, allowing him to pass into otherwise inaccessible areas. It can be used to dispatch enemies such as Helmasaurs, and is essential in defeating Terrorpins in the Palace of Darkness. The Magic Hammer is also capable of shattering the faceplate of the Helmasaur King. Against most enemies, it deals as much damage as the Tempered Sword, but its reach is much shorter. Freezing enemies with the Ice Rod and then breaking them with the Magic Hammer instantly defeats them, often yielding a Magic Jar.
Four Swords Adventures
Magic HammerYou can smash or bury any stumps in your way. If you store up power and then swing it, the shock of the blow briefly dazes all enemies within range.
Lev. 2
The more power you save up, the farther the shockwave goes.
The Magic Hammer can smash stakes, stumps, and several other obstacles in Four Swords Adventures. By holding the A Button, the Links can charge the Magic Hammer which, upon release, sends out a shockwave which dazes enemies momentarily. It can be upgraded to the level 2 Magic Hammer, which makes it more powerful, sending much larger shockwaves. The Magic Hammer can also knock Force Gems from their hiding spot beneath the soil. Shadow Link can also use the Magic Hammer to interrupt the Links by sending unavoidable but harmless dazes.
Phantom Hourglass
The Hammer can be found in Mutoh's Temple in Phantom Hourglass, where it is used to defeat the temple's boss, Eox. It is also used to pound at objects, including Switches and Springboards that will propel Link into the air if he stands on it and pounds it with the Hammer. It is also one of the most powerful weapons in the game. The Hammer is controlled by holding and moving the Stylus on the Nintendo DS screen, which will drag Ciela around as she aims it and prepares to smash it.[6] It is possible to pound on objects and enemies that are far away from Link. When held for a while longer, the Hammer will grow to a gigantic size and will make a much stronger pound. It cannot be used while on stairs.
The Hammer is an effective weapon against certain enemies. Stalfos can be defeated with the Hammer in a single hit. By using it in conjunction with the Phantom Sword, it is also possible to defeat a Phantom without being seen by hiding in a Safe Zone.
A Link Between Worlds
The Hammer can be rented or purchased from Ravio's Shop in A Link Between Worlds. It is needed to progress through the Tower of Hera. The Hammer can be used to pound Moles into the ground, which then launch Link up to higher grounds, and it is essential to defeat enemies such as Deadrocks and Terrorpins.
If Link buys the Hammer, he can upgrade it to the Nice Hammer by returning 10 or more Lost Maiamais to Mother Maiamai. This form does more damage to enemies and sends out a shockwave to stun them.
Tri Force Heroes
The Magic Hammer deals twice the damage to enemies as Swords in Tri Force Heroes. It creates a shockwave when used, which can destroy Grass and Rocks and stun enemies. The Magic Hammer can be used to pound down stakes, destroy ice crystals, defeat Deadrocks, and make use of Moles.
Magic Hammers first appear in Silver Shrine, in which all three Links acquire one. They reappear in Ice Temple (two Hammers), Desert Temple (two Hammers), Dragon Citadel, and Sky Temple. They also appear in the Scorching Zone, Frozen Zone and Baneful Zone of the Den of Trials, as well as the Coliseum's Ice Cavern and The Ruins arenas. The use of Magic Hammers is required to defeat Blizzagia and Stalchampion.
The effects of the Magic Hammer are improved while wearing Hammerwear. This outfit doubles the item's shockwave size and damage output, while allowing it to be swung quicker.
Breath of the Wild
Two different Hammers can be obtained in Breath of the Wild. The first is the Iron Sledgehammer, which can be used both as a weapon and for mining Ores.[7] The second is the Spring-Loaded Hammer. It can only be purchased at the Fang and Bone for 199 Mons, and it is capable of knocking back enemies on its fourth hit.[8]
Spinoff appearances
Zelda's Adventure
In Zelda's Adventure, the Hammer is a Spell that Zelda can cast as a projectile with her Wand. It is a slow-moving Spell, but can potentially inflict a lot of damage onto enemies. It is dropped by Warbane after encountering him for the first time in the Shrine of Fire. It costs two Rupees to use.
Ancient Stone Tablets
Hyrule Warriors
- This section is about the Weapon used by Darunia in Hyrule Warriors. For the Weapon used by Ravio, see Rental Hammer.
In Hyrule Warriors, the Hammer is a class of Weapon used by Darunia. It is associated with Fire.
A different Hammer also appears as an item in Hyrule Warriors Legends and Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition. This item is mainly used to smash objects, but can also be used as a weapon to attack enemies. It is also used to weaken the Helmaroc King.
Ravio also uses a unique Hammer as his class of Weapon, referred to as the Rental Hammer.
Variations
The default form of the Hammer is the Magic Hammer. The second form of the Hammer is the Igneous Hammer, followed by the Megaton Hammer.
The Lv.★ form of the Hammer is the 8-Bit Food, which is modeled after the 8-bit Food from The Legend of Zelda. It was added to Hyrule Warriors with the Majora's Mask Pack DLC. In Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, instead of appearing as a separate Weapon, the 8-Bit Food replaces the Darkfire Hammer when the "8-Bit Weapons" Setting is turned on in Game Settings within the Settings menu.
In Hyrule Warriors Legends and Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, the fourth form of the Hammer is the Darkfire Hammer, which is associated with both the Elements of Fire and Darkness.
