So you’ve just embarked on your epic adventure in Hyrule Kingdom but you’re struggling to make a dent in the ranks of Bokoblins, Constructs, and Chuchu blobs. Well, your first port of call is to find yourself a decent weapon. But what are the best early game weapons, upgrades, and fuses in Nintendo’s latest Zelda title? Good question! Here are our five choice offerings to help you start your journey off on the right foot. Let’s do it!
5. Boko Blade
- Fuse Recipe: Any two-handed weapon and a Bokoblin Horn
- Base Attack: Damage + 4
Boko Blades are strong bladed weapons that amp up the damage potential of any two-handed armament. With their excellent durability, you’ll be able to keep swingin’ till the cows Bubbulfrog’s come home!
4. Construct Bow
- Fuse Recipe: N/A
- Base Attack: 5 Damage
While the Construct Bow isn’t a fused weapon per se, it’s still arguably one of the more powerful bows that you’ll find in the opening hours of your TOTK journey. This is thanks to its solid damage output and impressive durability.
Make sure to fuse a Fire Fruit or a Bomb Flower to your arrows and sit back and enjoy the show. Or, if you’re going toe-to-toe with those dastardly Gloom Hands, why not fuse a Dazzlefruit to them? Seriously, you’ll thank us later!
3. Rock Hammer
- Fuse Recipe: Any one-handed weapon and a Rock
- Base Attack: Damage + 1
You’d think that sticking a huge boulder on the end of a sword would render the entire thing useless. Not in Zelda, though!
In fact, the Rock Hammer is not only one of the easiest upgrades to whip up, thanks to how common rocks are in the game, but it’s also super handy for knocking down rock formations that are blocking your path. The icing on the Monster Cake? It has a pretty sweet moveset that knocks back enemies on its third swing. Very useful, indeed!
