Royal Guard’s Bow	This bow, known for its high attack power and quick fire rate, is tucked away in Hyrule Castle’s Sanctum. Its durability may be low, but its potential is high.
Royal Guard’s Claymore	Hidden in the sanctum of Hyrule Castle, this claymore shines in its un-decayed form. Its power escalates as it approaches breaking point.
Savage Lynel Bow	This unique bow releases a triple arrow barrage with each pull. To claim it, defeat a Lynel in North Akkala Valley.
Spiked Iron Ball Hammers	Merge a sword and a spiked iron ball – found at Bokoblin bases – to forge this powerful hammer, capable of pulverizing boulder barriers.
Zonai Weapons	These readily available weapons pack a punch in dungeons. Increase their attack power by integrating a Zonai device.
