You can then set it as your Sensor+ target for help in finding one. If you've already taken a picture of it yourself, you can just use that instead of course and save money.

The Weapon Connoisseur is a Side Quest in Breath of the Wild. To complete the quest, eight specific weapons (including one bow), must be shown to Nebb, a child in Hateno Village.

Requirements

Nebb is available running around the middle of town roughly between noon and 7 p.m. After starting the quest, he can be located by setting The Weapon Connoisseur as the active quest in the Adventure Log.

Walkthrough

Talk to Nebb to start the quest.

Tip: If you have done the Sunshroom Sensing Side Quest, have Sheikah Sensor +, and have taken a picture of the requested weapon, you can set the weapon as your Sheikah Sensor + target for help in finding one. If you have not taken a picture of the weapon, you can talk to Symin at the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab and purchase equipment pictures for your compendium (at 100 rupees each, getting a random picture each time, can buy in bulk if desired) until you have a picture for your next objective. You can then set it as your Sheikah Sensor + target for help in finding one.

Each of these weapons likely have multiple locations. The locations listed below are simply suggestions.

If Link is already carrying the requested weapon, speak to Nebb again to show him the weapon, so it does not need to be equipped. Specificity is crucial, as stronger versions of some weapons do not work; for instance, a Meteor Rod does not substitute the required Fire Rod.

Objective 1: Traveler's Sword

After completing the Robbie's Research side quest, you can purchase an Ancient Short Sword at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab.

Show it to Nebb for a diamond, and you will finally complete this quest.

Trivia

  • Albeit it's not the only quest in the game that necessitates purchase of an item, the fact that the aforementioned Ancient Short Sword has to be purchased for 1,000 rupees makes it the most expensive quest per-item in the game, and the only one where purchase is mandatory. In other similar quests like completing the Hyrule Compendium through Symin, none of the wares are mandatory and none cost more than 500 rupees.
