We found a crusher-carrying Lynel just south of the Tabantha Great Bridge. Again, the only way to get it is is to take down a Silver-maned Lynel. Savage Lynel Crusher (78)Īs far as we know this monster has the single largest damage value of any weapon in the game.

Two-handed weapons Royal Claymore (52)įrom the Woodland Tower, northeast of Hyrule Castle, simply climb on top of the stone mass blocking its northern face and you’ll find it stuck in a cleft. If you’re up for the challenge, you can find one in the forest grove of North Akkala Valley, about midway between the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab and the summit of Death Mountain. The most powerful one-handed weapon, you can use a Savage Lynel Sword after you pry it from the cold, dead hands of a Silver-maned Lynel, one of the deadliest foes in the game.

One of the most consistent places we’ve found an avenging Yiga is by the broken down wagon between Scout’s Hill and the eastern edge of the Great Plateau. They will come better equipped, however, including upgrading to this nasty, circular blade. They won’t let up even after you’ve defeated their boss, Master Kohga, back at their HQ in the Gerudo Desert. Yiga assassins will periodically attack you throughout the game. If you’re interested in the upcoming sequel, take a look at everything we know about Breath of the Wild 2 so far. Keep in mind that weapons taken from defeated enemies or that spawn out in the world will respawn during the periodic Blood Moon events, but anything found in a chest is only available there once. Rather, it’s a selection of some of the coolest, toughest weapons that we’ve found in each category, plus where you can locate them. Breath of the Wild is enormous, so this list is far from comprehensive. For those times when you need something a bit more high-end, however, we’ve compiled a list of the best weapons you can find. Part of the fun of this great Nintendo Switch game is going with the flow and working with what you find, since the weapon and the best armor you pick up in a given area are usually good enough to handle the local wildlife. Breath of the Wild goes in the opposite direction - almost every weapon has a finite lifespan and breaks after a certain number of strikes.

In past Zelda games, Link would acquire a wide variety of special tools, such as boomerangs and hook shots, but would only use a handful of swords over the course of any given adventure. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the most critically-acclaimed Zelda titles to hit shelves in decades, one that breaks radically from previous games in the series.
