: Main article: Master Sword

In Breath of the Wild, the Master Sword can be found in its pedestal in the Korok Forest, guarded by the Great Deku Tree. The Great Deku Tree reveals to Link that if a person deemed to be weak attempts to draw the Master Sword from its pedestal, they will slowly lose their life. This means that Link must be powerful enough to draw the blade from its slumber and, unlike any previous incarnation, he requires at least thirteen hearts to successfully retrieve the sword (These hearts must be permanent heart containers: using consumables that temporarily increase your maximum hearts will not allow you to obtain the Master Sword). Upon taking the sword, Link will obtain a memory of the sword being placed in the pedestal; however, this memory is not actually Link's, rather, it is Princess Zelda's. Zelda placed the sword in its resting place after Link's near-death, where the hero would come to retrieve it once more after his slumber in the Shrine of Resurrection.

The Master Sword has a base strength of 30 damage, initially leaving it outclassed by a multitude of other single-handed weapons. Its true power, however, comes in the presence of evil when Link ventures to certain areas or draws near certain enemies. This includes all guardian variations and the entirety of Hyrule Castle, as well as the four Divine Beasts, where Ganon's presence is most powerful. The blade will glow with a blue aura, and its strength will boost to 60 damage, making it the most powerful single-handed weapon in the game.

Like all other weapons in Breath of the Wild, it can be rendered unusable after extensive use. However, it is special in that the Sword will never break, or disappear from the inventory after obtaining it. After the Sword loses its power from extensive use, it will auto-repair itself gradually and return to normal after some time. When the Master Sword is engulfed in its true power, it will gain a huge durability boost.

The Master Sword plays a prominent role in Link's memories, and is once again indicated to only be usable by the chosen hero. During Link's final memory, and Zelda's memory when the Sword is retrieved, it is shown to be in a severely damaged and rusted condition, something that has not been seen in any previous Zelda game. After being placed into its resting spot by Princess Zelda, the Sword gradually regained its luster and restored itself to its most powerful state.

After Link's death during his final memory, the sword begins to flash blue and emit a sound that is the same as Fi's in Skyward Sword, indicating that she is still present within the blade. Fi speaks to Princess Zelda, and tells her that Link can still be saved by taking him to the Shrine of Resurrection, where he can fully recover to fight Calamity Ganon once more.

"The legendary sword that seals the darkness. Its blade gleams with a sacred luster that can oppose the Calamity. Only a hero chosen by the sword itself can wield it."

Tree Branch


: Main article: Tree Branch

The Tree Branch is a weapon found in Breath of the Wild. They can be found lying on the ground across the Great Plateau, and later, across all of Hyrule itself.

Tree Brances can be lit on fire and will burn up quickly. While on fire, they can be used to light campfires or burn other nearby objects.

In order to retrieve a boomerang after it has been thrown, the player must hit the A button as it nears Link. In the case of this not happening, it will keep going for a small distance and drop to the ground, where it can be picked up. The standard Boomerang can be found in the Pumaag Nitae Shrine.

"This throwing weapon was originally used by the forest-dwelling Koroks. Its unique shape allows it to return after being thrown."

"This once-fearsome sword has seen better days. It can do some damage in the right hands but also breaks quickly."

— In-Game Description

The Rusty Broadsword is a melee weapon found in Breath of the Wild. It has a base power of 6, and can be found in lone locations around the majority of Hyrule. It appears to have once been a Knight's Broadsword, but has experienced severe damage, as the majority of the blade is rusted.

These items are found laying around fairly abundantly in early parts of the game. One can be found on top of a small island in the pond, just outside the Shrine of Resurrection on the way to the Temple of Time. They are often found in the various ruins of Hyrule.

With a durability of just 8, it is the most fragile of swords that Link can acquire, with it breaking just as quickly as a Torch or Boko Club. With an attack power of 6, it is more powerful than the Traveler's Sword and makes for an okay weapon during the early portions of the game, but it quickly becomes obsolete as Link acquires more powerful weaponry.

Like all the of the other Rusty weapons that Link can acquire, he can toss it in front of a Rock Octorok. When the Rock Octorok inhales the sword, he will chew it up and spit it out back towards Link. This will upgrade the weapon and it can be spit out as a Traveler's Sword, Soldier's Broadsword, Knight's Broadsword, or even a Royal Broadsword.

The Spiked Boko Club is a wooden club found in Breath of the Wild. It has a base power of 12, and is an uncommon weapon of choice for Bokoblins in areas just outside the Great Plateau. It looks identical to a traditional Boko Club, but sharp bones have been affixed to increase the damage output.

The weapon is most commonly wielded by Blue Bokoblins in areas that are adjacent to the Great Plateau, including within the Gerudo Canyon Pass and in the Gerudo Desert. However, the weapon can occasionally be seen being used by Lizalfos in the Lake and Faron regions, as well as within the Lanayru Wetlands.

With a weapon strength of 12, it is three times as powerful as its Boko Club counterpart, although only half as powerful as the Dragonbone Boko Club. Given its power and durability, it makes for a decent weapon early on in Link's quest, but quickly becomes obsolete as Link acquires more powerful and more durable weapons.

As the weapon is made of wood, it can be lit on fire and used as a torch.

The Fire Rod is an item that appears in A Link to the Past, Four Swords Adventures, and A Link Between Worlds.

Appearances

A Link to the Past

The Fire Rod is obtained in a Treasure Chest in the Skull Woods.^[5] This rod spits out a ball of fire that sears most enemies to a crisp.^[6] Some enemies like Gibdos are especially vulnerable to fire, so use the Fire Rod wisely.^[7] The Fire Rod can also be used like the Lamp to light torches, but from a distance only. It is needed to enter the main part of the Skull Woods dungeon.^[8] This item is also used for defeating Trinexx in Turtle Rock.

Four Swords Adventures

The Fire Rod in Four Swords Adventures functions in a similar fashion to its other incarnations. If the item button is held down, the Fire Rod acts as a flamethrower, shooting a continuous stream of fire. Once upgraded to level two at a Fairy Fountain, the Fire Rod gains the powers of the Cane of Somaria, as seen in A Link to the Past, creating blocks that can be used to depress switches. The upgraded Fire Rod can also create platforms in specific locations marked by a question mark. Shadow Link even uses the weapon against Link in certain encounters.

A Link Between Worlds

In A Link Between Worlds, Link can rent the Fire Rod for 100 Rupees along with other items after Ravio's Shop opens. However, once Ravio lets him purchase items, the Fire Rod costs 1,200 Rupees to purchase it. Once Link has bought it, he can upgrade it to the Nice Fire Rod after finding ten lost Maiamais and giving them to Mother Maiamai.

Unlike previous Zelda games, when Link uses the Fire Rod, it unleashes a pillar of flame that travels across the ground and disappears shortly afterwards, depleting the Energy Gauge. As a result of traveling across the ground, if Link uses the Fire Rod on top of grates, the fireball will go through the grate and be on the lower floors of the dungeon. Being used to defeat ice-based enemies such as Ice Gimos and Ice Bubbles, the Fire Rod is also used in order to melt ice such as the ice layer surrounding Dharkstare and ice stalagmites. Like the Lamp, it can light torches, but Link can light them at a farther distance than the Lamp. Similarly to the Skull Woods in A Link to the Past, the Fire Rod is needed in order to enter the Ice Ruins in Lorule.

Breath of the Wild

The Fire Rod in Breath of the Wild can be found on Fire Wizzrobes all over Hyrule. It is a very dangerous weapon, as it can shoot rather large fireballs which can light objects on fire, such as grass or leaves. It can be used as an offensive tool, or one for solving puzzles, such as in the Sah Dahaj Shrine. It has a base power of 5.
