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. Although 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. | ||

===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. | |||
* Although 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). | |||
