The '''Ancient''' and '''Guardian Weapons''' are a type of weapon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. Originally developed by the ancient [[Sheikah Tribe]] using the energy of the [[Blue Flame]] through the [[Ancient Furnace]]s as part of the Sheikah's '''Ancient Tech''', modifications were done by [[Robbie]] before the advent of the Calamity to create his own set of alternative, more durable weapons for purchase. | The '''Ancient''' and '''Guardian Weapons''' are a type of weapon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.

Owing to their nature as laser-like weapons, they produce characteristic hums when wielded, and cavernous bell-sounding clangs when striking their target. Unlike elemental weapons, they do not get discharged. Albeit they are luminous, their light is faint enough not to be useful in complete darkness. The weapons are non-metallic, so they don't attract lightning. | ||

====Damage Bonuses==== | |||
* The weapons from the Scouts naturally deal 30% more damage to [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]]; they may also come with varied increased buffs for attack or resistance depending on the individual weapon; | |||
* The weapons from Robbie's Lab naturally deal 50% more damage to [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]]; albeit stronger than the Scouts' weapons, they have no individual buffs, as they are standard designs for multiple production; | |||
* '''Ancient Proficiency''' ([[Ancient Set]] bonus) increases damage dealt with both Ancient and Guardian weapons by 80%; | |||
* These buffs all stack multiplicatively with each other and regular +Attack buffs from food and elixirs. | |||
* The Ancient Proficiency does not apply to the [[Master Sword#Breath of the Wild|Master Sword]]. | |||

===Trivia=== | |||
* The weapons wielded by [[Guardian Scout]]s are embedded in them. As such, unlike other enemies, they have to be defeated for them to drop the weapons. | |||
* Some of the Blights and [[Calamity Ganon]] wield variations of these weapons, but those are not obtainable. | |||
*Due to the bonus multipliers of the game, and given the right steps followed, these weapons can be rendered extremely strong, more than any other weapon in the game. | |||
* Albeit it has similar properties with the [[Ancient Helm]], the [[Diamond Circlet]] does not contribute to the '''Ancient Proficiency''' bonus for these weapons when replacing the Helm in the [[Ancient Set]]. | |||
* Even with '''Ancient Proficiency''', these weapons will only shave off 100 HP from [[Guardian Stalker]]s by cutting their legs, just like with any other weapon. The proficiency comes into play only when attacking the body itself. | |||
* Due to their effectiveness against [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]], it's assumed that the weapons were originally created based on the powers of the [[Master Sword]]. | |||
* No enemy outside the shrines uses these as their primary weapon, but like any other weapon, they can wield them if they grab a hold of them. | |||
* The weapons available in the [[Akkala Ancient Tech Lab]] are the only weapons in the game that can be purchased with rupees. All other weapons in the game are obtained either through scavenging, or manufactured at no cost of rupees (Champions' weapons). | |||
