Crushers

Boulder Breaker

This giant crusher weapon has one of the highest attack damage and durability of all weapons in the game. Due to its high durability, it is arguably the strongest weapon given the amount of damage it can deal before it breaks. It was wielded by the Goron Champion Daruk in the fight against Fireblight Ganon. Although the weapon is very powerful, attacks can be a bit slower since it’s such a massive weapon. You will first find this weapon in a chest in Bludo’s house once you’ve defeated Divine Beast Vah Rudania. Another advantage is that it has the highest durability of all the weapons in this list, and if you break or lose it, you’ll be able to talk to Rohan in Goron City and he’ll make you a new one at the price of 1 Cobble Crusher, 5 pieces of Flint and 1 Diamond. The weapon is great for mining ore deposits and fighting Talus monsters.

Cobble Crusher

The Cobble Crusher is a Goron weapon used to mine ore deposits, but is also a pretty decent attack weapon and can be used in combat too. It is a common find in Goron city and the surrounding area, particularly near the mines. This weapon can also be used to reforge Champion Daruk’s Boulder Breaker alongside 5 pieces of Flint and 1 Diamond.

Stone Smasher

The Stone Smasher weapon is a stronger version of the Cobble Crusher, but cannot be used to reforge the Boulder Breaker. It has similar properties to the Cobble crusher, in which it can be used to smash ore deposits effectively. Later into the game, it is wielded by stronger Lizfalos and Moblin enemies. You can find two Stone Smashers in Hyrule Castle: one is in the Library and the second is wielded by a Black Moblin in the Dining Room.

Lynel Crusher

Icon Base Attack Durability Buff

The Lynel Crusher is wielded by standard Lynel enemies, such as the Lynel found south of Lake Hylia and near Hyrule Ridge. The crusher line of Lynel weapons can be used to mine ore deposits pretty easily but their durability will be impacted more than cobble crushers and iron sledgehammers.

Mighty Lynel Crusher

Icon Base Attack Durability Buff

The Mighty Lynel Crusher is a stronger version of the Lynel Crusher and is wielded by higher levelled Lynel enemies, such as the Blue-Maned Lynel. You can find Blue-Maned Lynels pretty easily, but if you want to find this specific weapon you’ll need to find a Lynel wielding a crusher instead of a sword. You can find a crusher wielding Blue-Maned Lynel in the Gerudo Highlands and northwest of Rito Village.

Savage Lynel Crusher

Icon Base Attack Durability Buff

The Savage Lynel Crusher is the strongest iteration of the Lynel Crusher and is wielded by White-Maned Lynels and Silver Lynels. This weapon has the highest base damage of all weapons in the game, which makes it an undoubtedly strong weapon choice. The base attack damage, however, is dampened somewhat by its relatively low durability, meaning that you’ll do more damage overall with weapons such as the Boulder Breaker and the Ancient Bladesaw due to their higher durability. You’ll only find this weapon later in the game, when higher levelled Lynels spawn. You can find a Lynel wielding a Savage Lynel Crusher north of Great Hyrule Forest and Tabantha Tundra.
