Weapons & Shields

Weapons in Tears of the Kingdom are defined by their base type and the Fuse system, which allows you to attach materials to augment damage, durability, or effects. Weapons have durability and can break, but Fusing extends their life.

#### One-Handed Weapons

Tips for Item Management

Keep one of each material for armor upgrades later – especially rare gems, dragon parts, and monster parts.

Always fuse your arrows before combat – it’s free damage and often solves elemental weaknesses.

Cook hearty / endura meals before exploring dangerous areas – they are lifesavers.

Upgrade your Zora set early for water navigation; upgrade Glide set for sky islands.

Use Muddle Buds on tough enemies to make them fight each other.

Save Bomb Flowers for ore deposits and sealed doors; they are scarce early.

Collect all Sage’s Wills to reduce cooldowns on sage abilities.
