World Level[1] affects the strength of some enemies and items from Breath of the Wild.

Whenever Link kills an enemy, a hidden counter goes up a certain number. When the counter reaches a specific number, the World Level will be increased, and some enemies and weapons will be upgraded by one tier — for example, many Blue Bokoblins would be replaced by Black Bokoblins. The counter increase varies — the Divine Beast bosses (the Blight Ganons and Monk Maz Koshia) and Dark Beast Ganon have much greater effect than any standard enemy, while basic Wizzrobes barely increment the counter at all.

Note that there are often exceptions to weapons upgrading. For example, all Woodcutter's Axes in the game do not scale, despite there being a point count for when they do. Also, Guardian Scouts or their weapons never scale up even though the game has code for them to do so.

Names are internal names with added spaces for legibility[2]. All weapons, bows and shields not listed below upgrade only with modifiers, as well as the highest tier weapon in each row.

"White modifier" and "yellow modifier" refers to the colour of the icon on the weapon's box in the pause menu. Yellow modifiers are greater than white modifiers, but both vary.

Points per Enemy Kill

Each enemy you kill makes the counter go up a certain number, and it varies for different types of monsters. Note that after the 10th kill of an enemy won't grant any points; this excludes bosses, who only give points on their first kill.

Enemy Upgrades

Most types of monsters can be upgraded to a higher tier of monster. Bokoblins and Moblins go from red, to blue, to black, then to silver. Lizalfos go from green, to blue, to black, then to silver, though the elemental types can't be upgraded. Lynels go from red, to blue, to white, and silver.

Not all enemies get upgraded, however. For example, the three Bokoblins in front of the Temple of Time never change from the red variant. Often, only one or two enemies in a Monster Camp are upgradable, which means that a camp may have a Silver Bokoblin surrounded by basic red Bokoblins.
