Welcome to our comprehensive compendium of weapons and shields found across Hyrule in Tears of the Kingdom! This list details nearly all obtainable gear with deeply expanded descriptions covering usage, lore, and mechanics.
Important Notes Before You Begin:
Decay/Pristine: Most weapons found on the Surface are ‘decayed’, offering lower durability. ‘Pristine’ versions (same Attack Power, higher Durability unless noted otherwise) can be found in the Depths, wielded by Shadow Soldiers. You generally need to have found and broken the decayed version of a weapon for its pristine counterpart to start appearing in the Depths. Finding a specific pristine weapon also depends on the type of stand (sword, spear, claymore) and potentially a hidden game progress value.
Fuse Ability: This is KEY! Fusing materials (especially monster parts) dramatically increases Attack Power and adds a flat durability bonus (often +25 hits) to the base weapon/shield, effectively repairing it. Think of the base weapon as a handle and durability pool for the powerful fused attachment.
Durability: Values listed are approximate base values based on community testing. Fuse always adds extra durability (+25 is typical). A higher base durability means the powerful fused effect lasts longer.
Locations: “Depths” refers to finding pristine versions held by Shadow Soldiers on plinths. Specific regions in the Depths often correlate with regional weapon types (e.g., Zora weapons under Lanayru).

Royal Guard’s Bow
Atk 50, Dur ~20
Description: Ancient Sheikah technology applied to archery. Highest single-shot base attack power, coupled with a very fast draw speed. However, its extremely low durability means it breaks very quickly. Use it for critical shots or quick bursts of damage.
Phrenic Bow
Atk 10, Dur ~45
How to Obtain: Found in various locations, often associated with ruins or Zonai structures on the surface.
Description: A uniquely shaped bow designed for enhanced range finding. Arrows fly nearly straight with very little drop over long distances, making it superb for sniping enemies or hitting distant targets like Aerocudas or switches. Low base power but excellent utility.
Shields: (Base Guard / Base Durability)
Wooden Shield
Guard 2, Dur ~12 (Flammable)
Description: Simple plank shield. Minimal protection, breaks easily, burns instantly. Mostly found and used right at the start of the adventure.
Traveler’s Shield
Guard 4, Dur ~12 (Flammable)
Description: A light, round shield common among travelers. Offers slightly more surface area than the wooden shield but is equally fragile and flammable. Good for practicing parries early on without risking better shields.
Soldier’s Shield
Guard 16, Dur ~16 (Flammable core)
Description: Standard shield of the Hyrulean army, often bearing the kingdom’s crest. Offers adequate protection for early-mid game, but beware of fire attacks as its core is still wood.
Knight’s Shield
Guard 40, Dur ~23 (Metal)
Description: A sturdy metal shield shaped like a kite, favored by knights. Good defense and reasonable durability. Being metal, it resists fire and conducts electricity (useful offensively with Shock Emitters, dangerous defensively against electric attacks). A solid mid-game defensive choice.
Royal Shield
Guard 55, Dur ~29 (Metal)
Description: An ornate metal shield issued to the Royal Guard, often decorated with blue and gold. High defense makes it capable of blocking strong attacks, and its durability is decent. An excellent all-around shield for late-game use and Zonai device fusions.
Royal Guard’s Shield
Guard 70, Dur ~14 (Metal)
Description: Sheikah-tech shield prototype featuring a distinctive black design with red accents. Boasts exceptionally high Guard power, capable of stopping very powerful blows, but its extremely low durability makes it shatter after only a few blocks or parries. Terrible for shield surfing.
Monster Weapons
(Gear reflecting the rough capabilities and materials available to Hyrule’s monsters.)
Bokoblin:
Boko Club / Spiked Boko Club
Atk 4/17, Dur ~8/14
Description: Crude clubs, often just sturdy branches or bones. The Spiked version, reinforced with fossils, deals surprisingly high damage for an early weapon but remains fragile. Both are flammable.
Boko Bow / Dragonbone Boko Bow
Atk 4/24, Dur ~16/30
Description: Simple, roughly made bows. The Dragonbone variant, found on stronger Bokoblins, is reinforced with fossils and offers respectable power, becoming a common drop later on.
Boko Shield / Spiked Boko Shield / Dragonbone Boko Shield
Guard 3/10/25, Dur ~5/7/8 (Flammable)
Description: Flimsy wooden shields, easily broken and burned. Spiked adds minor bash damage. Dragonbone version offers better Guard but is still incredibly fragile. Good for fusing single-use items like Rockets early on.
Moblin:
Moblin Club / Spiked Moblin Club
Atk 9/32, Dur ~12/18
Description: Large, heavy clubs that require two hands. The Spiked version incorporates sharp bones for significantly increased damage. Effective blunt weapons early-mid game, good for breaking ore or armored foes when fused.
Dragonbone Moblin Club
Atk 45, Dur ~24
Description: A massive club made from durable monster fossils. Hits extremely hard with high base attack power and has better durability than expected for a monster weapon. A fearsome weapon if found.
Moblin Arm
Atk 28, Dur ~5 (Skeletal, cannot repair by Octorok)
Description: The literal arm bone of a Stalmobiln. High damage but crumbles almost instantly. Essentially acts as a single-use, high-power fuse material if attached to another weapon.
Lizalfos:
Lizal Boomerang / Lizal Forked Boomerang
Atk 8/14, Dur ~17/20 (Returns when thrown)
Description: Curved blades crafted by Lizalfos. Their unique aerodynamic shape allows them to return to the thrower (hold R, release). Can hit enemies on the outward and return path. Forked version is stronger. Fun to use, requires practice.
Lizal Bow / Steel Lizal Bow
Atk 14/36, Dur ~25/50
Description: Bows adapted for the agile Lizalfos. The Steel Lizal Bow, often dropped by black or silver variants, is a durable and powerful bow, making it a common and effective late-game ranged option.
Lizal Shield / Steel Lizal Shield
Guard 15/35, Dur ~10/12 (Metal)
Description: Metal shields with a distinctive curved design reflecting Lizalfos aesthetics. Offer decent Guard but break relatively quickly compared to Hylian shields of similar defensive rating.
Lizalfos Arm
Atk 22, Dur ~5 (Skeletal, cannot repair by Octorok)
Description: The skeletal arm of a Stalizalfos. Like other bone arms, offers good base damage but is extremely fragile. Best used as fuse material.
Lynel:
Lynel Bow / Mighty Lynel Bow / Savage Lynel Bow
Atk 10×3 / 20×3 / 32×5, Dur ~20 / ~30 / ~45 (Multi-shot)
Description: Masterfully crafted bows used by the powerful Lynels. Their defining feature is firing multiple arrows (3 for standard/Mighty, 5 for Savage) in a horizontal spread while only consuming one arrow. This makes them devastating for applying fused arrow effects multiple times instantly (e.g., Bomb Flowers, Gibdo Bones) or dealing massive close-range damage. Savage Lynel Bow is arguably the highest DPS bow.
Lynel Shield / Mighty Lynel Shield / Savage Lynel Shield
Guard 30 / 44 / 62, Dur ~12 / ~15 / ~20 (Metal, often pre-fused)
Description: Extremely tough shields capable of withstanding fierce blows. Often found already fused with a Lynel Saber Horn, adding significant damage to shield bashes. High Guard power, but their durability isn’t top-tier compared to some Hylian shields. Excellent defensive tools dropped by formidable foes.
Note: Lynel melee weapons like swords, crushers, and spears are primarily valuable as Fuse Materials dropped after defeat – Saber Horns, Mace Horns, Spear Horns. Fusing these onto durable pristine weapons yields some of the highest attack values achievable.

Atk 8 (Decayed) / 17 (Pristine), Dur ~11 (Decayed) / ~14 (Pristine) (Base for Scimitar of the Seven)
Description: A curved, single-edged sword typical of Gerudo warriors. Its signature “Strong Fusion” ability dramatically multiplies the attack bonus from attached materials (like horns, fangs, gems – does not boost fused weapons), resulting in exceptionally high damage potential despite the weapon’s low base durability. Essential for crafting the Scimitar of the Seven. Fuse with care, use top-tier materials like Silver Lynel parts for best effect.
Gerudo Claymore
Atk 9 (Decayed) / 22 (Pristine), Dur ~12 (Decayed) / ~16 (Pristine)

Description: A light, agile bow favored by Rito archers. Prized for its exceptionally fast draw speed, allowing rapid firing. Low base power but excellent handling. Required component for reforging Revali’s Great Eagle Bow.
Kite Shield
Guard 14, Dur ~16 (Flammable)
Description: A uniquely shaped wooden shield, lightweight and designed for aerial maneuverability according to Rito lore. Offers minimal protection and is easily flammable. More thematic than practical.
Korok (Fuse Recycling: Fused consumables aren’t used up):
Forest Dweller’s Sword
Atk 7 (Decayed) / 15 (Pristine), Dur ~18 (Decayed) / ~27 (Pristine)
Description: A weapon crafted by Koroks from enchanted forest wood, often with leaf motifs. Its fantastic “Fuse Recycling” ability lets you repeatedly use attached consumable materials (Puffshrooms, Muddle Buds, Dazzlefruit, elemental fruits/jellies) without destroying them, consuming weapon durability instead. Invaluable for utility and status effects.
Forest Dweller’s Spear
Atk 6 (Decayed) / 14 (Pristine), Dur ~26 (Decayed) / ~35 (Pristine)
Description: A Korok-made spear sharing the “Fuse Recycling” property. Excellent for applying effects from a safe distance, such as launching Puffshrooms for cover or Muddle Buds for confusion before engaging, or creating repeated elemental bursts with fruits/jellies. Good pristine durability.
Forest Dweller’s Bow
Atk 15×3, Dur ~35 (Multi-shot)
Description: A peculiar Korok bow that fires three arrows in a tight vertical spread while only consuming one arrow. Effective for hitting tall enemies or ensuring at least one arrow hits a specific point vertically.
Forest Dweller’s Shield
Guard 30, Dur ~18 (Flammable)
Description: A wooden shield imbued with forest magic, appearing sturdy despite its material. Offers surprisingly good Guard but remains flammable. Often found in or near Korok Forest.

Zonai Weapons
Ancient technology that interacts synergistically with Zonai Devices.
Zonaite Sword / Mighty Zonaite Sword
Atk 6/10, Dur ~15/18 (“Zonaite Energy”)
Description: Swords crafted from processed Zonaite, often with glowing green lines. The “Zonaite Energy” property slightly extends the duration or increases the power output of attached Zonai devices (like Emitters, Fans, Beams). Useful for device-focused combat or utility builds.
Zonaite Longsword / Mighty Zonaite Longsword
Atk 8/15, Dur ~18/22 (“Zonaite Energy”)
Description: Two-handed swords of Zonai make. Also feature “Zonaite Energy,” enhancing attached devices with wide, sweeping applications. Good for attaching things like Flame or Frost Emitters for area coverage.
Zonaite Spear / Mighty Zonaite Spear
Atk 4/8, Dur ~22/28 (“Zonaite Energy”)
Description: Spears utilizing Zonai technology. The “Zonaite Energy” effect combined with spear reach is great for attaching focused devices like Beam Emitters or Cannons for ranged Zonai attacks.
Zonaite Shield / Mighty Zonaite Shield
Guard 26/50, Dur ~20/20 (“Energy Up” – Reduces device drain)
Description: Shields specifically designed to power Zonai devices. Their key feature “Energy Up” drastically reduces the Energy Cell consumption rate when using attached devices (Emitters, Rockets, Fans, Springs, etc.), making sustained device usage feasible. The Mighty version provides significantly higher Guard for better defense. Essential for device-heavy playstyles.
Zonaite Bow
Atk 30, Dur ~50 (No energy cost to fire)
Description: A bow constructed using Zonai materials and principles. Fires standard arrows without draining Link’s Energy Cell, unlike active Zonai devices. Offers solid attack power and good durability, making it a reliable general-purpose bow found in Zonai areas.
Gloom Weapons
Malevolent weapons radiating Gloom, dropped by Phantom Ganon. Harm Link unless Fused.
Gloom Sword
Atk 41, Dur ~15
Description: A one-handed sword visibly corrupted by Gloom. Holding it unfused continuously drains Link’s maximum hearts (Gloom damage). Fusing any material instantly negates this drawback, allowing safe use of its high base attack. Extremely low durability means it won’t last long, even when fused.
Gloom Club
Atk 50, Dur ~14
Description: A massive two-handed club, dark and menacing, pulsing with Gloom. Possesses very high base attack but rapidly inflicts Gloom damage on Link if held unfused. Fuse immediately to use safely. Its poor durability makes it a temporary powerhouse.
Gloom Spear
Atk 40, Dur ~16
Description: A long spear seemingly forged from condensed Gloom. Inflicts Gloom damage on contact unless a material is fused. Offers high attack for a spear base but remains very fragile. Fuse and use strategically before it breaks.
Skeletal Weapons
Monster bones used as weapons. High damage, extremely low durability, cannot be repaired by Rock Octoroks.
Stalkoblin Arm
Atk 20, Dur ~5
Description: The literal arm bone of a Stalkoblin. Offers surprisingly high base attack, especially considering how early Stalkoblins appear. However, it shatters in just a few hits. Think of it less as a weapon and more as potent, readily available fuse material for early-game power boosts.
Stalmoblin Arm
Atk 28, Dur ~5
Description: A large skeletal arm from a Stalmoblin. Functions as a heavy-hitting two-handed weapon but breaks almost instantly. Fuse it onto a sturdy base (like a Royal Claymore) to make its high attack power last longer.
Stalizalfos Arm
Atk 22, Dur ~5
Description: The curved arm bone of a Stalizalfos. Provides good one-handed attack power but shares the extreme fragility of other bone weapons. Fuse it onto a durable sword or spear for best effect.
Magic Rods & Scepters
Base weapons that amplify elemental effects when fused with gems or specific elemental monster parts like Gleeok Horns.
Magic Rod
Atk 5, Dur ~14 (Single projectile/effect)
Description: A simple one-handed rod, often wooden with a crystal tip. Acts as a conduit for magic. Fusing a gem (Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Opal) or certain parts (Gleeok Horns) unleashes corresponding elemental projectiles (Fireball, Ice Shard, Electric Orb, Water Ball) without consuming the gem, using rod durability instead. Star Fragments create light projectiles. Less potent than the Scepter/Staff.
Magic Scepter
Atk 8, Dur ~16 (Area effect)
Description: A more ornate two-handed rod designed for wider effects. Fusing gems creates larger area-of-effect elemental bursts centered on Link (Fire explosion, Ice storm, Electric field, Water burst). Excellent for crowd control or hitting multiple targets. Gleeok Horns also produce powerful area effects.
Magic Staff
Atk 4, Dur ~12 (Focused burst)
Description: A staff, often used like a spear, focusing magical energy. Fusing gems creates concentrated elemental blasts directly in front of Link (Flame burst, Ice spray, Electric discharge, Water jet). Good for targeting specific enemies with elemental damage.
Unique & Legendary Gear
Iconic equipment often tied to Hyrule’s history, Champions, past Heroes, or specific quests.
Master Sword
Atk 30/60 (vs Gloom), Dur ∞ (Energy recharge). (Obtain: Light Dragon/Main Quest)
Description: The legendary Blade of Evil’s Bane, intricately linked to the Hero’s spirit. Visually restored to its former glory. Cannot permanently break; instead, it depletes energy after sustained use (~40 hits base durability equivalent) and requires a 10-minute real-time recharge. Glows and doubles its attack power (to 60) against Gloom-based enemies and the final bosses. Can be Fused; the fused part adds power/durability but is destroyed when the sword’s energy runs out. At full health, allows Link to shoot Sword Beams by pressing ‘R’. A key story item retrieved from the Light Dragon.
Hylian Shield
Guard 90, Dur 800. (Obtain: Hyrule Castle Docks)
Description: The traditional shield of the Knights of Hyrule, bearing the Triforce and Crimson Loftwing insignia. Offers the highest Guard (90) and astronomical Durability (800) in the game, making it incredibly resilient. Ideal for blocking the strongest attacks and perfect for extensive shield surfing without fear of breaking quickly. Found via a puzzle in the Hyrule Castle Docks; can be repurchased from Cece in Hateno Village if broken (post-quest completion).
Great Eagle Bow
Atk 28×3, Dur ~60. (Champion – Rito Quest/Recraft)
Description: The masterpiece bow crafted for Rito Champion Revali. Fires three arrows horizontally with each shot (consuming one arrow). Excellent power, multi-shot utility, and solid durability (~60) make it one of the best bows available. Can be reforged by Teba/Tulin’s family in Rito Village using a Swallow Bow, Diamonds, and Wood.
Boulder Breaker
Atk 38, Dur ~40. (Champion – Goron Quest/Recraft. Demolisher)
Description: The formidable two-handed weapon wielded by Goron Champion Daruk. Resembles a reinforced Cobble Crusher. Possesses the innate “Demolisher” trait, allowing it to smash ore deposits, cracked walls, and armored enemies easily without needing a fused rock/hammer part. Offers high damage and good durability. Can be reforged by Rohan in Goron City using a Cobble Crusher, Diamonds, and Flint.
Lightscale Trident
Atk 22, Dur ~70. (Champion – Zora Quest/Recraft. Water Warrior)
Description: The graceful trident belonging to Zora Champion Mipha. Features the “Water Warrior” ability (Attack x2 when wet) and boasts extremely high durability (~70) for a spear. Excellent in rainy conditions or aquatic combat. Can be reforged by Dento in Zora’s Domain using a Zora Spear, Diamonds, and Flint.
Scimitar of the Seven
Atk 28, Dur ~60. (Champion – Gerudo Quest/Recraft. Strong Fusion)
Description: The treasured curved sword of Gerudo Champion Urbosa. Its signature “Strong Fusion” ability massively boosts the power of fused materials, making it capable of incredible damage output when paired with top-tier horns (like Silver Lynel parts). Also has good durability (~60). Reforged by Isha in Gerudo Town using a Gerudo Scimitar, Diamonds, and Flint (requires Daybreaker too).

Miscellaneous / Tools
Items not primarily intended for combat but usable in a pinch.
Tree Branch
Atk 2, Dur ~4
Description: The most basic item imaginable. Barely functional as a weapon, mostly used for lighting campfires via striking flint or as an emergency torch base if lit.
Torch
Atk 2, Dur ~8 (Holds flame)
Description: Designed solely to provide light via its persistent flame (once lit). Can be used to ignite things, but deals negligible combat damage. Breaks fairly quickly if used for hitting.
Soup Ladle
Atk 4, Dur ~5
Description: A humble kitchen ladle. Surprisingly usable for hitting things, though it offers almost no damage and breaks almost immediately. Primarily exists for humor or desperate situations.
Wooden Mop
Atk 4, Dur ~8
Description: Found in stables and homes for cleaning. Can be swung like a very weak staff. Offers minimal damage and low durability.
Farming Hoe
Atk 3, Dur ~6
Description: A tool for working the land. Very low attack power and durability when used in combat.
Pitchfork
Atk 4, Dur ~12
Description: Used on farms for moving hay. Functions as a weak spear with slightly better durability than other farming tools, but still not recommended for serious combat.
Boat Oar
Atk 4, Dur ~8
Description: Used for paddling small boats. Can be swung like a clumsy, weak two-handed club. Breaks quickly.
Fishing Harpoon
Atk 4, Dur ~12
Description: Used by fishermen in coastal villages like Lurelin. Functions as a weak spear, slightly more durable than some other tools.
Rusty Halberd / Rusty Claymore / Rusty Broadsword
Atk 3/6/6, Dur ~12/10/8 (Feed to Octoroks)
Description: Severely corroded versions of standard Hylian weapons found scattered in ruins. Extremely weak, their main value lies in being fed to Rock Octoroks near Death Mountain, which inhale them, repair them, and spit them back out as potentially upgraded Soldier’s or Knight’s gear (once per Octorok per Blood Moon).
Rusty Shield
Guard 3, Dur ~16 (Feed to Octoroks)
Description: A shield almost entirely consumed by rust. Offers minimal Guard but surprisingly decent Durability for its state. Like rusty weapons, it can be fed to Rock Octoroks for repair and potential upgrade into a Soldier’s or Knight’s Shield.
Pot Lid
Guard 1, Dur ~10 (Iconic)
Description: The lid of a cooking pot, famously repurposed as a shield. Offers virtually zero protection (Guard 1) but is humorously resilient for its simple nature. Perfect for practicing parry timing without risking valuable shields, or for very basic shield surfing on snow/sand. A true symbol of resourcefulness.
