  • Carried by a monster: beat the monster and it drops the weapon. Most often Blue Bokoblin (2), Bokoblin (1), Black Moblin (1), and Stalkoblin (1). Monsters get stronger weapons as you defeat more of them, so the one you meet may carry a better one.
  • Lying in the world: placed in the scenery, free to pick up.
