Miscellaneous Weapons

Korok Leaf

Korok Leaves are surprisingly useful tool because of their ability to generate gusts of wind. They’re a terrible melee weapon but if you charge up an attack you can generate a powerful gust that can push back smaller enemies, such as Bokoblins. The gusts of wind can also be useful for moving rafts on water and for fanning flames. They’re pretty commonly found across Hyrule, they can be spawned by felling trees and they’re sometimes found next to rafts which are required to complete puzzles like Chaas Qeta Shrine.

Torch

Always having a torch in your inventory is a great idea because you never know when you need to generate some light or set fire to something. Torches can be used to transfer a flame from a sconce or lantern to a campfire, or you could use it to set fire to spikey vines or leaves. Torches will stay lit until you unequip the torch or it comes into contact with water. They’re super common and can be found outside most stables as well as in ruins and villages across Hyrule.

Tree Branch

Tree Branches are super weak weapons but they are easily obtained as they’re found next to trees and bushes. They are flammable and can be used to transfer flames if you’re lacking a torch!

Boat Oar

Somewhat annoyingly, the boat oar cannot actually be used to sail on a raft. Instead, it’s exclusively used as a two-handed melee weapon. They’re found pretty commonly around Lurelin Village. It is also flammable so can be used to transfer flames for a short period of time.

Soup Ladle

Icon Base Attack Durability Buff
BotW_Soup_Ladle_Icon.png 4 5

The Soup Ladle is a pretty unconventional weapon but it can be a decent back up if you’re out of options. They’re found around villages, and one can be found next to the cooking pots in Hateno Village. It is also flammable so can be used to transfer flames for a short period of time.

Wooden Mop

Icon Base Attack Durability Buff
BotW_Wooden_Mop_Icon.png 5 8

This another household item that can be used as a weapon if you’re in a pickle. It is found around houses in villages, such as Kakariko Village and Hateno Village. It is stronger than the soup ladle so perhaps this is a better back up weapon!

Farmer’s Pitchfork

Icon Base Attack Durability Buff
BotW_Farmers_Pitchfork_Icon.png 7 12

This makeshift weapon is used like a spear and is a pretty decent weapon to use if you’re out of actual weapons. A couple of pitchforks can be found in Hateno Village if you fancy fighting like a farmer!

Farming Hoe

Icon Base Attack Durability Buff
BotW_Farming_Hoe_Icon.png 16 6

Similar to the Farmer’s Pitchfork, this Farming Hoe can be used like a spear and is found in settlements across East Necluda and Hyrule Field. This makeshift weapon is surprisingly strong for a farming tool so can be a really good back-up weapon in your inventory. A Farming Hoe can be found in Hateno Village.

Bokoblin Arm

Icon Base Attack Durability Buff
BotW_Bokoblin_Arm_Icon.png 5 5

Bokoblin Arms are obtained from defeating stalbokoblins which will occasionally pop up and ambush you at night. They are a weak weapon but can be picked up easily if you find yourself without weapons and fighting a bunch of stal enemies.

Moblin Arm

Icon Base Attack Durability Buff
BotW_Moblin_Arm_Icon.png 15 5

Moblin Arms are obtained from defeating stalmoblins which will occasionally pop up and ambush you at night. They are a pretty strong weapon damage-wise but they will break easily so perhaps don’t fill your inventory with Moblin Arms!
