The Royal Gear is a recurring archetype of Weapon in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][name reference needed]
Location and Uses[]
Breath of the Wild[]
The Royal Gear was equipment issued to the immediate guard details of the Royal Family of Hyrule,[2][3][4] as well as in recognition of impressive martial feats.[5][6] Weaponry of the Royal Gear is notable for its combination of power and elegant, elaborate design.[4][5][6] The weapons' distinctive ornamentation was created by craftsmen in the royal family's service.[3]
Every piece of Royal Gear is metallic. This means they will conduct Electricity and attract Lightning during Thunderstorms, but they do not burn when exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate. While they will sink if they are dropped in Water, they can be picked up and manipulated with the Magnesis Rune.
