Swordfighter Form Weapon Upgrades
After completing the Suthorn Ruins, you can visit Lueberry’s House in Hyrule Field to upgrade Zelda’s Swordfighter Form weapons. Upgrades require Might Crystals, which are found throughout Hyrule by completing quests, opening treasure chests, or closing Stilled World Rifts. Each weapon has specific enhancements per level:
Sword of Might
Level 2: Increases damage and spin attack radius.
Level 3: Grants the Sword Beam ability when at full health, further increasing damage and spin attack radius.
Bow of Might
Level 2: Unlocks Spreadshot (hold X) and increases damage, range, and velocity.
Level 3: Further enhances damage, range, and velocity.
Bombs of Might
Level 2: Unlocks Bombchu (hold A) and increases damage and blast radius.
Level 3: Further increases damage.
Energy Gauge Upgrade
- Levels 2-4: Each upgrade extends the duration Zelda can maintain her Swordfighter Form.
Full Upgrade Requirements
The total Might Crystals required to fully upgrade each category are:
- Sword of Might: 30 Might Crystals
- Bow of Might: 30 Might Crystals
- Bombs of Might: 30 Might Crystals
- Energy Gauge: 35 Might Crystals
This totals 125 Might Crystals to fully upgrade all aspects of the Swordfighter Form.
Accessory Slot Upgrades
Initially, Zelda can equip only one accessory. To increase the number of accessory slots, visit the Great Fairy Shrine located on a small island in Lake Hylia, Eastern Hyrule Field. Each additional slot requires a progressively higher rupee investment:
- Second Slot: 100 Rupees
- Third Slot: 200 Rupees
- Fourth Slot: 500 Rupees
- Fifth Slot: 1000 Rupees
This allows Zelda to equip up to five accessories simultaneously, enhancing her abilities and providing various buffs.
By strategically upgrading weapons and accessory slots, players can tailor Zelda’s abilities to their playstyle, making her more formidable against the challenges in Hyrule.
