Rusty Claymores are two-handed Weapons known for their low durability.[1] They are commonly found in Hyrule Field and Eldin Canyon, either abandoned or being used by Enemies. They also have a chance of appearing in Treasure Chests that spawn from scanning the Breath of the Wild Series Guardian amiibo with the amiibo Rune.

If a Rusty Claymore is placed in front of a Rock Octorok, it will inhale the sword and then spit out its cleaned counterpart.[2] There is a 50% chance for a Traveler's Claymore, a 35% for a Soldier's Claymore, a 10% chance for a Knight's Claymore, and a 5% chance for a Royal Claymore.

Since they are made of metal, Rusty Claymores will conduct Electricity and attract Lightning if equipped during a Thunderstorm. They are also unable to burn when exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate. They will sink if they are dropped in Water, but they can be picked up using the Magnesis Rune.

Rusty Claymores are part of the Rusty Gear equipment archetype, which consists of Weapons that have been left exposed to the elements.[2]
