Weapons, bows and shields in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sometimes come with an extra effect such as “Attack Up +” or “Durability Up” — a weapon bonus. Every number on this page comes from the game’s weapon parameters: which bonuses each weapon can roll, how big the white and yellow ones get, how many enemies you need to defeat before they appear, and where yellow ones are guaranteed. Base attack and durability are in all weapons.
What are weapon bonuses, and what do white and yellow mean?
A bonus is set when you get the weapon and never changes. A weapon has at most one, and its icon is one of two colors:
- White: Attack Up, Durability Up, Shield Guard Up, or Critical Hit.
- Yellow: larger Attack Up, Durability Up + and Shield Guard Up, or the yellow-only Long Throw, Quick Shot and Five-Shot Burst.
Critical Hit is white only. Once your kill points are high and weapons spawn yellow, Critical Hit weapons become hard to find.
| Bonus (game name) | Tier | Can appear on | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attack Up | White / yellow | Melee weapons, bows | Adds the value in the table to attack |
| Durability Up / Durability Up + | White / yellow | Everything | Adds the value to durability |
| Shield Guard Up | White / yellow | Shields | Adds the value to the shield’s guard |
| Critical Hit | White | Melee weapons | The last hit of a combo is a critical hit |
| Long Throw | Yellow | Melee weapons | Throw distance × 1.5 to 2 |
| Quick Shot | Yellow | Bows | Draws × 1.1 to 1.3 faster |
| Five-Shot Burst | Yellow | Forest Dweller’s Bow, Lynel Bow, Mighty Lynel Bow, Savage Lynel Bow | Fires five arrows at once |
In English both tiers read “Attack Up +” and “Shield Guard Up +”; only the icon color tells them apart (the Chinese and Japanese text adds a word for the yellow one). The game data also has a shield-surfing bonus, but no weapon can roll it.
How high can each weapon’s bonus go?
The white and yellow columns are the possible ranges; the game picks a whole number inside the range. “Up to” is the base value plus the top of the yellow range. Click a heading to sort, or search for a weapon.

How many enemies do you need to defeat before weapons get bonuses?
The game keeps a hidden point total: every enemy you defeat adds points by type. A Silver or Golden Lynel is 120, each of the four Blights 300; reportedly only the first ten of each enemy type count.
When the total passes a weapon’s thresholds, that weapon spawns — in a chest, in an enemy’s hands or lying in the world — in this order: no bonus → white → yellow → a better weapon of the same series (a Traveler’s Sword becomes a Soldier’s Broadsword, for instance). So the way to yellow is to defeat strong enemies and push through the story.

The Champion weapons, the Ancient Short Sword and Ancient Bladesaw, the three monster-arm weapons, the Pot Lid and the Wooden Shield are not in the upgrade tables, so they show ”—”. Three exceptions are reported: weapons in the Trial of the Sword and on Eventide Island are never upgraded, and weapons bought in shops never carry a bonus. In Master Mode enemies are one rank higher; the point rules are the same.
A weapon from an amiibo that carries a bonus gets the top of its tier’s range, not a random value.
Which chests always give a yellow bonus?
The game data marks 85 chests whose weapon is at least yellow, and all of them exist only in Master Mode: they sit on the sky platforms held up by Sky Octoroks. Normal-mode chests have no such setting; there, a bonus depends only on your points.
Among the 85 are one each of the Royal Guard’s Sword, Claymore, Spear, Bow and Shield, all in the Central Tower region; the Claymore is the one near Carok Bridge. Click “Show on map” to move the map below to a chest.

Besides these, 11 chests in the shrines added by The Champions’ Ballad give a weapon that is at least white, and 4 more Master Mode chests do the same.
Where can you reliably get high-attack weapons?
- Royal Guard weapons in Hyrule Castle. The Royal Guard’s Claymore is always in the castle’s Guards’ Chamber and Lockup, the Royal Guard’s Sword in the East Passage and the Second Gatehouse. They hit hard but break fast, and their bonus ranges are high too; see Royal Guard’s Claymore.
- White-Maned Lynels. They carry the Savage Lynel series and drop it when defeated; the higher your points, the better the chance of a yellow bonus. Routes and tactics in Lynel farming.
- Master Mode sky platforms. The chests in the table above are always yellow, so you can go straight to the weapon you want.

- Enemy scaling: the same kill points also turn monsters black and Silver.
FAQ
What is the highest Attack Up in Breath of the Wild?
It depends on the weapon. The Royal Guard's Claymore rolls a yellow +27 to +44, up to 116 with its base 72, the most in the game. The Savage Lynel Sword rolls +22 to +42 and the Savage Lynel Crusher +16 to +30. Every weapon's range is in the tables on this page.
What is the difference between white and yellow bonuses?
Yellow is the higher tier: bigger Attack Up, Durability Up and Shield Guard Up, and Long Throw, Quick Shot and Five-Shot Burst only come in yellow. Critical Hit only comes in white.
How do I get weapons with yellow bonuses?
Defeat more enemies. Once your kill points pass a weapon's thresholds, chests and enemies give it white, then yellow, then a better weapon of the same series. In Master Mode the chests on sky platforms always give yellow.
Do weapons bought in shops have bonuses?
Reportedly not. A bonus is decided when a weapon spawns in a chest, in an enemy's hands or lying in the world.
