How many weapons are in Breath of the Wild?

185 in these tables: 48 one-handed weapons, 41 two-handed weapons, 38 spears, 26 bows and 32 shields. Arrows are ammunition, not weapons, and are not counted.

Which one-handed weapon has the most attack?

The Savage Lynel Sword at 58. The Master Sword has 30, but Zelda Dungeon notes it rises to 60 near Malice, Guardians, the Blights and Calamity Ganon, and the Trial of the Sword (DLC) raises it to 60 for good.

Why are some Compendium numbers blank?

The amiibo weapons — the Goddess Sword, Sword, Sea-Breeze Boomerang, Biggoron's Sword, Fierce Deity Sword, Sword of the Six Sages and Twilight Bow — have no Hyrule Compendium entry, so Game8 lists them without a number.

Where do these numbers come from?

From the game's own weapon parameters (Attack.Power, General.Life and GuardPower), each checked against Game8's weapon, bow and shield lists and Zelda Dungeon's Breath of the Wild weapon pages. Game8 agrees on every attack and guard value; Zelda Dungeon differs on four, listed under the tables.

Guardian Shield++ — Guard: game data 42, Zelda Dungeon 40

What else changes a weapon’s numbers?

A weapon can carry a bonus that raises its attack, durability or guard, or adds an effect such as Critical Hit or Five-Shot Burst. Zelda Dungeon notes that bonuses appear on weapons found as the World Level rises, in two grades: a white one and a stronger yellow one. Weapon durability lists them all.
