Breath_of_the_Wild_Royal_Equipment_Royal_Claymore_icon.png 52 40

This strong weapon is a two-handed version of the Royal Broadsword. It is a late game weapon and only really begins to appear in game when you’ve become a higher level. It’s found around Tabantha Frontier and Gerudo Desert, but can also be looted To Quomo Shrine and Kah Yah Shrine. Bear in mind, that treasure in shrines sometimes scales alongside Link, so you won’t be able to get a Royal Claymore from these shrines if you’re low-levelled.

Royal Guard’s Claymore

Icon Base Damage Durability Buff
Breath_of_the_Wild_Royal_Equipment_Royal_Claymore_icon.png 72 15

Rusty Claymore

Breath_of_the_Wild_Rusty_Equipment_Rusty_Claymore_icon.png 12 10

The Rusty Claymore is early game weapon that’s found fairly commonly around Hyrule Field, particularly near ruined buildings and water. They’re super fragile so they aren’t a great weapon. However, Rock Octoroks will suck up Rusty weapons when they’re placed in front of them, spitting back out a new, shiny version!

There’s a 50% chance for a Traveler’s Claymore, 35% chance for a Soldier’s Claymore, a 10% chance for a Knight’s Claymore, and a 5% chance for a Royal Claymore.
