'''One-handed weapons''' are a category of weapons in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. One-handed weapons have many differences from other ''Breath Of The Wild'' weapons categories. When you preform a [[Perfect Dodge]] and get a [[Flurry Rush]], you will get 8 hits out of it. One-handed weapons are lighter, and therefore quicker, but require four hits before a critical hit. Holding the attack button charges up a [[Spin Attack]]. [[Link]] can use a [[Shield]] while a one-handed weapon is drawn.

{{Main|Master Sword}}

The Master Sword can be found in a pedestal in the [[Korok Forest]], guarded by the [[Great Deku Tree]]. Link must have at least thirteen permanent (red) heart containers to draw it from its pedestal without dying. Initially, it has a base power of 30 damage; except when Link is in a [[Divine Beast]], [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]] or is near a [[Guardian]], when it will glow with a blue aura, its strength will boost to 60 damage - making it the most powerful single-handed weapon in the game - and its durability will increase. It can be permanently upgraded to this level through the DLC [[Trial of the Sword]].

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 energy, it will auto-repair itself gradually and return to normal after some time.

Traveler's Swords have a base power of 5 and base durability of 20. They are shown as dented and scratched in appearance, with a short blade, short cross-guard, and wooden grip.

Knight's Broadswords have a base power of 26 and a base durability of 27. The design is similar to the [[Soldier's Broadsword]], but with a wider cross-guard, a fancier blade, and a hibiscus colored ribbon enveloping the grip. Their name comes from the fact that they were once carried by Hyrulean Knights. They are typically wielded by [[Lizalfos]] and [[Moblin]]s in the Western areas of [[Hyrule]], including the [[Tabantha Frontier]] and [[Gerudo Desert]] regions.

The Royal Broadsword is a common weapon of choice for Silver [[Bokoblin]]s, [[Moblin]]s, and [[Lizalfos]] in the [[Tabantha Frontier]] and [[Akkala Highlands]].
