It’s dangerous to explore Hyrule without first looking for The best weapons You can find out more about this by clicking here. Tears of the Kingdom: The Legend of Zelda.

In order to prevent Horriblins from bullying you all the time, we’ve gathered the best weapon options in Tears Of The KingdomYou can also find out where to buy them.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom: The Best Weapons

The best guns in the world are listed below. Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom:

• Master Sword
• Lightscale Trident
• The Seven-Sword Scimitar
• Fierce Sword of the Deity
• Gerudo Claymore
• Royal Guard’s Claymore

Fuse offers a variety of weaponry to choose from. Tears Of The Kingdom. Because the Upheaval has degraded the majority of options in Hyrule it is difficult to tell which have unique properties.

Aside from obvious choices such as the Master Sword, depending on where you’re in the game, it can be tough to get your hands on the best materials out there. For example, defeating a Lynel is a difficult task. White Lynels can be difficult to defeat without proper equipment, heart, endurance, and defense.

You can use our Fuse recommendations as a guide. Rare materials aren’t exactly a priority until you’re in the late game. Use whatever you can until that time. You should also keep an eye on your weapon’s durability. Pelison can split weapons for 20 rupees at Tarrey Town.

Master Sword

Master Sword – a Must Have! Tears Of The Kingdom. Link’s iconic weapon has decent base damage, and yes, you can Fuse materials and other weapons to increase it further. While it’s not indestructible (sorry), the weapon runs on energy instead of sheer durability. After its energy is depleted, it only takes a few minutes to use the weapon again.

In addition, the weapon’s base damage is duplicated whenever you’re facing a gloom-infested enemy, such as a Gloom Lynel or the Demon King and his variations. You’re bound to stumble upon the sword as you’re progressing through the main story, but there are ways to get your hands on it fairly early into the game, which you absolutely should.

Last but not least, make sure to grab the Champion’s Leathers to make use of a special attack with your throw button — in a similar fashion to how it worked in Breath of Wild.

Lightscale Trident

Lightscale Trident, one of Zora’s best weapons. It is a very powerful weapon. Damage 22, which doesn’t sound like much. But, it’s not that bad. When Link is wet, damage increases by two timesBonus that also applies to materials fused to the material. It worked with the Black Horriblin Horn. I received 88 total damage when I covered myself in water. And that’s with a low power attack material.

After you’ve completed the “Sidon of the Zora” questline, you can kickstart the “Glory of the Zora” quest by talking to Dento, the blacksmith found in the Zora’s Domain. He’ll ask for a list of materials to craft the weapon:

• 5 flint.
• 3 diamonds.
• A Zora Spear, which you’re bound to find around the Zora’s Domain — you get one as a reward for completing the “Mired in Muck” sidequest, which you’ll find while unlocking the Upland Zorana Skyview Tower.

When you are done with the above materials, go back to Dento for the Lightscale Trident. Make sure to Fuse it with a powerful item — Black Boss Bokoblins, White Lynels, or the Light Dragon to name a few — to make the most out of it.

Let’s talk durability. If the weapon breaks, you can talk to Dento again to craft another one, although you’ll need to collect the same materials again. Unless you’re using a duplication glitch for diamonds, it’s not a wise choice to let the weapon break all the time.

A second option is to search for Rock Octoroks in the outer reaches of Death Mountain. When you place a weapon near them, they’ll spit the weapon out in an improved state.

Weapons such as the Lightscale Trident don’t apply, but, you can get around this by heading over to Tarrey Town and paying the fee to split the weapon. Then, after you’ve found a Rock Octorok, Fuse the Lightscale Trident with a regular weapon (can be anything from a sword to a stick), and drop it in front of the enemy. You can then take them back to Tarrey Town, where you will split the two pieces. You’ll have a repaired version ready to use.

Keep in mind that Rock Octoroks can only do this once per Blood Moon, so you’ll need to spot a different one or wait for the next Blood Moon to repeat the process.

You can get spoilers if you want, but if Link is wet and not spoiled, then it’s a good deal. Quite obvious way to make the buff happen fairly often after finishing the “Sidon of the Zora” questline. It’s a good way to get the synergy at will, but with a little delay. Of course, if you find yourself in scenarios under the rain or in direct contact with water, you’ll be all set.

Scimitar Seven

It is one of the weapons that you can obtain from the Gerudo. It is a very powerful weapon. The base damage is 28, which doesn’t sound like much. But its abilities make it so Double the power of Fused items. This is an excellent perk which, unlike the Lightscale Trident, doesn’t require for any particular status for Link in order to activate it. It is more difficult to get your hands on this weapon.

After you’ve completed the “Riju of Gerudo Town” questline, you can kickstart the “Missing Owner” by chatting with Cara in the town’s jewelry shop. This takes you to the Toruma Dunes on the west side of the desert, where you’ll need to save the character Isha by defeating a Molduga.

Afterward, you’ll be able to start the “Pride of the Gerudo” quest by talking to Isha again. She’ll ask for a list of materials to craft the weapon:

• 10 flint.
• 4 diamonds.
• A Gerudo Scimitar and a Gerudo Shield which, if you haven’t saved a few of them while doing the main quest in Gerudo, you can find them across the desert. Remember that Like Likes drop chests upon defeat, and if you spot any of them around the desert, there’s a chance they’ll drop either of the weapons.

After you’ve collected all the materials above, return to Isha and obtain the Scimitar. Make sure to Fuse it with a powerful item — Black Boss Bokoblins, White Lynels, or the Light Dragon to name a few — to make the most out of it.

You can also talk to Isha if you want to create another weapon if your Lightscale Trident breaks. If you’ve gathered the same materials once more, that is.

You can also look out for Rock Octoroks on the outer edges of Death Mountain. If you drop a weapon in their path, they will eat it. They’ll also spit out a damaged version with an additional bonus.

Weapons such as the Scimitar of the Seven don’t apply, but, you can get around this by heading over to Tarrey Town and paying the fee to split the weapon. Then, after you’ve found a Rock Octorok, Fuse the Lightscale Trident with a regular weapon (can be anything from a sword to a stick), and drop it in front of the enemy. You can then take them back to Tarrey Town, where you will split the two pieces. You’ll have a repaired version ready to use.

Keep in mind that Rock Octoroks can only do this once per Blood Moon, so you’ll need to spot a different one or wait for the next Blood Moon to repeat the process.

If you want a similarly destructive weapon than the Lightscale Trident but don’t want to sink Link into water each time, this is the alternative to go for.

Fierce Sword of the Deity

Fierce Deity Swords are a good option to use in the mid-game, particularly if they’re fused with strong materials. Its 38 base damage is slightly higher than that of the Master Sword, but it’s not a bad thing. The only downside is related to the weapon’s durability, as it won’t last long without a Fused item.

While you can get your hands on the weapon after obtaining the Fierce Deity armor, don’t worry if it breaks. You’ll be able to purchase it from a bargainer statue later on for 160 poes.

Visit our Fierce deity Sword Location page for a detailed guide on where to locate the weapon.

Black Boss Bokoblin 2 Handed Axe

Boss Bokoblins are defeated in Tears Of The KingdomRequires patience and strategy. If you’re pitting against a Black Boss Bokoblins, even more so. Once you’ve gotten your bearings over the differences in the sequel and a few Blood Moons have passed, it won’t be long until you stumble upon Black Bokoblins. It’s worth pursuing Black Bokoblins for their materials.

Black Boss Bokoblin Horn makes a great Fuse material. 27 DamageWeapons. For a two-handed axe, you’ll need an equivalent two-handed weapon first. For example, I used the Royal Guard’s Claymore and got a total of 59 damage.

If you’re still early on into the game, grabbing a Traveler’s Claymore from the Depths is a good shout. As you explore the underground area, you’ll come across spirits that look like well-armed Roman warrior statues. Amongst other options, they’re bound to have the claymore up for grabs.

As for Black Bokoblins, they’re bound to appear more often as you make progress into the game, slowly replacing the Red and Blue variants. Common locations include Hyrule Fields, Hyrule Ridges, and Lanayru Mountain.

It is true that I have seen a small group in the Walnot Mountains Cave, located at these coordinates. (3931, -2068, 0129)East of Hateno Village and past Hateno Ancient Tech Lab. If you’re searching for the Barbarian Armor, you’ll come across it.

Royal Guard’s Claymore

The Royal Guard’s Claymore is a high risk, high reward weapon in Tears Of The Kingdom. This is how it introduces itself. 32 base damageThis is a decent piece of equipment. If you look at its description, however, the weapon notes that the damage increases exponentially when it’s about to break. After some time using it, you’ll see the message on screen saying so, and you can double check this by opening your Weapons screen and seeing if it’s blinking. If so, you’ll already be benefiting from the damage increase, which is also displayed in the description.

To increase the power of this weapon, it is important to pair it with Fierce Deity Armor and Barbarian Armor. It’s the materials you choose to combine it with that will determine whether or not the weapon is successful. A Blue-Maned Lynel Saber Horn, for example, adds 33 damage on top, taking the overall damage of the weapon close to 100 points when it’s about to break. When combined with the Black Boss Bokoblin Horn, it grants 118 points of damage. A Captain Construct III Horn increases damage from 57 up to 114.

The weapon’s durability poses a high level of risk. One particular scenario in which you can bypass this to some extent is by fighting Lynels, specifically while mounting them to attack their backs, as this attack does not decrease weapon’s durability. If you’re looking to farm some of the best materials in the game by taking these enemies down, this weapon will be of huge help.

You can find the Royal Guard’s Claymore inside Hyrule Castle. As you’re navigating the throne room, you can stumble upon one laying on the ground behind a statue. If you’re facing the throne itself, take the staircase on the right and hop over to the side of the wall where the statue is, go around it, and pick it up. You can find the coordinates by clicking on this link. (0284, 1079, 0356)In case it helps. There’s another one that you can find close to Princess Zelda’s Room at the coordinates (-0325, 0996, 0300)The door opens and leads into a passage that is blocked. Claymore on top of wreckage.

Remember that you will be able to re-spawn the weapon after the Blood Moon. You can then repeat the above process. Lastly, you don’t need to wait until you can progress through the “Crisis at Hyrule Castle” quest in order to actually enter the castle itself.
