Breath of the Wild is a really fun game with a huge open world to explore. There's so much to do and so many enemies to take on that it can really suck the player in. It's easy to put a ton of time into the game, collecting all the armor and discovering all the secrets. One thing that irritates some players is the fact that the weapons break so quickly. Luckily, there are a ton of other weapons in the game that players can choose from.

Some of these weapons are totally powerful and awesome, and players will definitely enjoy whacking enemies and bosses with the following weapons in Breath of the Wild, which are truly in a class of their own.

Updated June 3, 2022 by Ritwik Mitra: Breath of the Wild is one of the greatest open-world games ever made. The game prioritizes experimentation with its weapon durability mechanics, which forces players to switch strategies on the fly time and time again. However, there are times when players get weapons that are so good that replacing them feels like nothing short of a crime. Keeping this in mind, here are some of the best weapons that players can get their hand on in the game.

10 Savage Lynel Sword

The Lynels carry some of the best weapons in the entire game. This is especially true for certain high-level Lynels that carry the most powerful variants of the weapons this species wields in Breath of the Wild.

The Savage Lynel Sword makes a strong case for being the strongest single-handed sword in the entire game. It hits for a ton of damage and can easily decimate the strongest enemies around.

9 Royal Broadsword

The Royal set of weapons are the highest-level set of weapons that are wielded by both Silver and Gold variants of enemies in the open world. These weapons look pretty cool and are extremely powerful to boot.

The Royal Broadsword is one such two-handed weapon that can send enemies flying with ease. It might take a while before players get their hands on this weapon, but this wait is more than worth it!

8 Master Sword

Of all the weapons in Breath of the Wild, the Master Sword is by far the best. This weapon is a special one because it doesn't actually break, it just needs to be recharged after being used for a while. But this powerful weapon and its special properties don't come without some sacrifices.

In order to get your hands on this iconic weapon, players must make their way through the Lost Woods. After getting through the Lost Woods, Link will find himself in the Korok Forest. There, the Great Deku Tree will talk to Link and, if you have enough hearts, you can take the Master Sword.

7 Savage Lynel Crusher

This two-handed weapon is really difficult to get your hands on, but it's definitely worth it. This weapon is one of the three Lynel weapons that are available in the game and is the most powerful of the three of them. The Savage Lynel Crusher is dropped by Silver Lynels and White-Maned Lynels, two of the most powerful Lynels in the game.

This weapon has some serious attack power and does quite a bit of damage. If it's paired with a set of armor like the Barbarian Set, then the damage boost makes it among the best weapons in the game. It's definitely worth facing off against that White-Maned Lynel to get!

6 Ancient Battle Axe++

The Ancient Battle Axe++ is the strongest of the Ancient Battle Axes that can be found in the game. All the weapons that were made by Guardian Scouts are pretty powerful, but the Ancient Battle Axe++ is by far one of the best.

This is the weapon that is used by the strongest Guardian Scouts. Anyone who has faced off against them in Major Test of Strength shrines in Breath of the Wild will know that Guardian Scouts are no joke. The Ancient Battle Axe++ has a base damage of 60 which can be increased through armor sets and dishes.

5 Elemental Weapons

The elemental weapons that are available in Breath of the Wild aren't incredibly common, but they definitely are really useful. These are among the best weapons in the game, not necessarily because they do a ton of damage, but because of the elemental bonuses they have.

There are lightning, fire, and ice-based weapons in the game. If possible, it can be handy to have one of each in your inventory at all times. They instantly eliminate elemental enemies if used correctly. For instance, the fire-based weapons will immediately take out an Ice-Breath Lizalfos.

4 Royal Guard's Claymore

The Royal Guard's Claymore is a version of the Royal Claymore that can only be found at Hyrule Castle. Because of the number of Guardians that are roaming the grounds and are at the castle, ready to take out anyone that comes too close, it can be pretty dangerous to try to get this weapon.

Even though it has a lower durability than the Royal Claymore, the Royal Guard's Claymore that is dropped by enemies in Hyrule Castle is still a pretty great weapon. It has a base attack power of 72, higher than the 52 that the regular Royal Claymore has.

3 Demon Carver

For the most part, the Yiga Footsoldiers end up carrying bows that end up getting rather obsolete as the player ends up getting better quality bows over the course of their game's progression.

However, after a while, these Footsoldiers will start carrying Demon Carvers instead, which are excellent one-handed weapons that can deal quite some damage indeed. Just make sure that Link doesn't end up on the receiving end of this weapon's blows one too many times.

2 Edge of Duality

The Edge of Duality is easily one of the best two-handed swords in the game, allowing for Link to use this Shiekah blade to great effect in battle and decimate most foes with the greatest of ease.

While finding this weapon can be a pain at times due to its inherent rarity, players who end up attaining this weapon should definitely treasure it and use the blade in only the direst combat situation around.

1 Savage Lynel Bow

Lynels have some of the best equipment in the entire game, with the Savage Lynel Bow being one such item that is a must-have for anyone who wants to stock up on the best bows in the game.

The Savage Lynel Bow hits like a truck, with the 5-shot variant easily serving as one of the most powerful ranged weapons in the entirety of Breath of the Wild.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is available on the Nintendo Switch and Wii U.
