15 Lesser Known Gameplay Mechanics in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Improve rusty weapons

Downgraded versions of Breath of the Wild’s weaponry will be frequently encountered by the player. Despite exhibiting decent stats, they’ll likely break after a few attacks due to their rusted nature. However, it’s worth keeping hold of them as later Link will encounter Rock Octoroks on Death Mountain – they can be tricked into swallowing a rusty weapon, sucking it up and spitting it out all shiny and aglow, free of the flimsiness rusty weapons exhibit.
