Weapons in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild tin sometimes exist infuriatingly brittle. With every swing of your sword or swish of your bow, your weapon is losing durability and inching closer to breaking entirely. This applies to every weapon in the game (except i), not just the dime-a-dozen fe sledgehammers or woodcutting axes. Unfortunately, weapon repair is non possible in Breath of the Wild, and at that place are so many great weapons to employ it can be downright heartbreaking to lose ane forever. Fortunately, there are some exceptions to this weapon perma-death rule that tin salvage a player some heartache.

The Lightscale Trident & Formalism Trident

In the Zora Domain, the actor will receive the Lightscale Trident and the Ceremonial Trident once they've completed the quests "Divine Beast Vah Ruta" and "The Ceremonial Song." The Lightscale Trident is a powerful two-handed spear with infrequent range, while the Formalism Trident is a weaker - merely withal handy - version of it. If broken, both of these weapons tin can be taken back to the Zora blacksmith, Dento, for repair.

Each trident requires a Zora spear and v flint to be repaired, so it's recommended a player fond of these weapons hoard flint equally much equally possible. The Lightscale Trident is a petty pricier to repair, however. In addition to the Zora spear and flint, Dento needs a diamond to repair it. Diamonds are dropped by some monsters and tin can exist found in treasure chests throughout the earth. They are also needed for armor upgrades, so it'south recommended that players strategize how they'll use this resource.

The Hylian Shield

After venturing into Hyrule Castle'southward Lockup and defeating the Stalnox, the player volition receive the Hylian Shield - the best shield in the game. The Hylian shield'southward defense is a hefty 90 points, merely with a immovability of 800, it's not totally indestructible. Different the Lightscale and Formalism Tridents, the Hylian Shield tin not be taken for repair, but it can be purchased again. Once the "From the Basis Up" side quest is completed, the player can buy the Hylian Shield from the hidden merchant, Granté, in Tarrey Town. Unsurprisingly though, the Hylian shield is priced at 3,000 Rupees, and so players planning on cycling through purchases of the shield should save relieve salvage.

The Master Sword

Of course, the one exception to the breakable weapons dominion is the legendary Primary Sword, which doubles its damage while in the presence of evil. Instead of breaking, the Primary Sword loses energy, once all of its energy has been depleted it will explode similar it were breaking when, really, its only recharging in Link's inventory. This takes about ten real globe minutes, and the player volition receive a notification when the Master Sword is in one case again fix for use.

The Workaround

Another solution to the problem of no weapon repair is to make your weapons last longer. Information technology's wise not to waste material stronger weapons on weak enemies, saving them instead for only the toughest monsters and bosses. Conduct a common weapon effectually - like the iron sledgehammer - to apply on weak and ane HP enemies similar Keese or Moblin skeletons. The sledgehammer may not be peculiarly strong, but it is highly durable and tin stay with a player for a while as they level up. These are bang-up strategies for players who are just starting theirBreath of the Wild adventure and aren't yet in a place to obtain powerful items similar the Lightscale Trident and Hylian Shield.
