There is always a favorite category of weapons that the players often use regardless of their attack power. One such category in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is swords. The game offers many sword options, each performing well in different conditions. Our best swords list will help you pick the best sword for your adventure.
Zelda: TotK offers versatility in weapons, and with the addition of the ability to fuse different materials, the options increase drastically. If you are a Sword person then this guide is personalized for you. We have compiled the best Swords in Zelda: TotK with high damage and special abilities.
1. Master Sword
Master Sword in the Zelda series is arguably Link’s most potent and iconic weapon. Its incredible base damage of (30) and other special attributes is the reason. Since it is the most crucial weapon of the game, you can’t miss it. You can also get Master Sword early in Zelda: TotK.
Although the weapons in the game have a durability meter, they break once it goes down to zero. However, the Master Sword has no durability. It runs on energy; you cannot use it for 10 minutes once it runs out.
For the unique fusions, you can fuse Master Sword with Flux Core to drastically increase its attack power. In addition, Master Sword can shoot a beam by holding R when the hearts are full.
Moreover, the Champion’s Leathers also unlock a special move that can be activated using the throw button. Lastly, the base damage of Master Sword becomes double if you are facing an enemy with attributes of Gloom.
2. Scimitar Of The Seven
Scimitar of the Seven is one of the best swords in Zelda TotK. Its base damage is 28, but what makes this sword special is its passive ability of fusion.
To obtain the Scimitar of the Seven, you must complete two side quests after completing the main questline, Riju of Guerdo Town. The side quests are as follows. Firstly, the “Missing Owner” can be started by talking to Cara in the town’s Jewelry shop in Guerdo. In this quest, you will save Isha, who will then make the Scimitar of the Seven
Secondly, you must talk to Isha to start the “Pride of Gerudo” quest. Upon completing the quest, you will have the Scimitar of the Seven in Zelda: TotK. If it breaks at any point in the game, you can always ask Isha to recraft it at the expense of the same materials.
3. Fierce Deity Sword
To obtain the Fierce Deity Sword in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, you must complete Misko’s Treasure: The Fierce Deity quest and collect all the Fierce Deity Armor pieces. Afterward, travel to Cephia Lake and obtain the Fierce Deity Sword.
The Fierce Deity Sword in Zelda: TotK is one of the most powerful swords. Its base damage is 38, which is more than that of the Master Sword. This sword can also be fused with other items to make it stronger and more viable.
Although the Fierce Deity Sword’s base damage is higher than that of the Master Sword, its durability is not guaranteed. To counter this issue, you can fuse the Fierce Deity Sword with robust materials such as Flux Construct’s Core.
For instance, if your Fierce Deity Sword breaks up, you can get it at the Bargainer Statue for 160 poes.
4. Royal Guard’s Claymore
The Royal Guard’s Claymore is a two-handed sword. Its special ability is that the weapon’s damage increases significantly when it’s about to break.
There are two versions of this sword in the game. The first one is in the Lookout Landing, near a cave behind the rocks. This version is a decayed version of Royal Guard’s Claymore.
To obtain the new and durable version of this Sword, you must travel to Hyrule Castle. You will find it in a chest on the upper level of the Northeast Tower of the Second Gatehouse of Hyrule Castle.
You can reach the castle by launching yourself using the Lookout Landing Skyview Tower and Gliding towards the Hyrule Castle. Make sure to cook some stamina-regaining meals in Zelda: TotK.
5. Silver Lynel Blade
The Silver Lynel Blade is a fused weapon with an Attack Power of 174 in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. It results from a Royal Guard’s Claymore being fused with a Silver Lynel Saber Horn. You can find these Silver Lynels in the Floating Coliseum.
Remember, fusing Horns to any weapon grants the weapon a 110-attack bonus. That is the highest amount of damage you can do to any enemy with a single hit.
These are the best swords you can obtain in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. We also recommend experimenting with various other swords by fusing different materials into them.
