- There are a plethora of different weapons available to the player in Hyrule, but most of them hardly differ outside of damage and durability….as so we thought. Plenty of these weapons actually have many unique uses never explained directly to the player - so I thought I would break down every single one I have found so you can use them more effectively in your adventures!! I hope you all enjoy :)

Alternate title: Croton reveals his affection for the Drill Shaft.
spot on
@@Croton drill shaft pog
Lol
i mean, who could blame him. drilly is best boi
That sounds kinda sus😂😂
You actually forgot one! The fishing harpoon uses up 0 durability when thrown at fish :)
Wow that is a neat one! I always disregarded those as being bad spears, but that could be useful.
ok thats cool
OMGG THATS SO COOL
And the Scythe takes zero durability when cutting grass.
@@HollowQuest_KoseiZero every cutting weapon does that
2:57 I didn’t know you could rag doll the poor little keese
It looks like force pushing a droid
Now I feel like abusing this new found power to rag doll swarms ._.
Bro is gone
I didn’t even notice that in the video
Finally a video where croton doesn’t make fun of Long Throw
credit given where credit is due....for once xD
@@Croton I hate long throw
As Kleric said, "Ew! Long Throw."
@@Croton long throw isn’t even my last resort. If I’m about to die and I only have long throw I will long throw it off the cliff before I’m mauled to death
@@CoOoOookie-xh3mu lol
It’s amazing how 4 years after releasing, this game still has a huge community
I mean itll have a huge commumity 20 years after releasing its just amazing anyone but speedrunners are still finding secrets and new aspects of gameplay. Typically this long after release all thats left is finding all the ways you can break it, we're not even done finding everything it was actually designed for
yeah almost like it’s good
It is the most recent release in the franchise so it’s not surprising, it’s like wondering why GTA V is so popular and why GTA IV isnt
Wait until this guy founds out abt tf2 players
One damage bonus I'm surprised ISN'T in the game is Sheikah and Yiga weapons not giving you an additional multiplier for sneakstrikes- it would be so fitting! I guess they figured it would make sneakstrikes too OP, considering they already do x7 damage...
Smeakstrikes are good, but 7 times damage is ridiculous. I know why the stealth armor is good, but I just don't have the time to sneak up and sneakstrike every enemy with more than 200 health
That's true! (Btw it's x8 damage not x7) I think that's powerful enough in most cases
@@Croton How can it be only 8 times? When I was breaking Barta out, I was able to one shot 600HP Yiga with a 2-damage torch.
Yiga hideout enemies are special! Anything can one shot them with a stealth strike
@@Croton Thanks for the response!
"Enough with the whacky weapons for now"
Ah yes, my favorite weapon type, *whacky weapons*
whacky weapons are best weapons
who cares about bows and melee weapons?? the best ones are the wacky ones.
*whacks whackoblin with whacky weapon*
**BOINK**
The best wacky weapons are the various guns that turn enemies into various different livestock.
Fun fact: The upgraded Master Sword is a hammer weapon, breaking all ore in 1 hit.
Really? That’s neat!
@@NatetendoOfficial I’m pretty sure beams use up durability on the master sword?
@@NatetendoOfficial Sword beams do deplete the Master Sword durability, making it a better choice to just 1-shot the ore via a swing rather than firing beams.
Less you have dlc with 3 more upgrades
@@edwinlevi6608 if you completed the Trial of the Sword dlc and fully awakened the master sword, sword beam don't use durability.
Considering that the Radiant set is basically a luchador outfit, it would be so cool seeing Link using wrestling moves as finishers. I can imagine him suplexing Bokoblins, backbreaking Lizalfos or choking Lynels.
Not gonna lie, that would be epic. "The Stone Cold Stunner! Oh my Gawd Jerry!"
I always saw it as a gimp suit, and I very much do _not_ want to see Link use those finishing moves.
Or choking out moblins with their thin scrawny necks
Maybe now I can imagine Link as a luchador instead of a pj masks character and actually use the outfit. I'm not particularly fond of it.
@@dekuscrub7423 Nope, it's a gimp suit. Sorry :(
I just wanted to say:
The Drill Shaft is actually op since it is the only spear that can hurt the stone peblits.
This makes ice peblits way less annoying.

Another hidden thing for boomerangs: Most weapons have a delayed time between pressing R and throwing the weapon, but the boomerangs significantly reduce this delay, allowing you to throw them faster
Bokoblin at the end be like: "Damn it I got stuck in a well again"
I had no idea that was gonna happen lol but then I just toyed with him for like the next 2 minutes 😂
Bokoblins are pretty funny
I did that once and it became the highlight of my play through. I put a bomb in there with him and he just kicked it forever
Well well well... he's gonna be in there a while.
I need a 9 minute video dedicated to the mop, please and thank you.
That sounds like the recipe for a masterpiece level video 🔥
Drillshaft is the true hero of hyrule
We need a spinoff game now
Yeah ikr everyone praising link even though it’s just the drill shaft only drillshaft

Let's go
@@Croton that is very durable
@@kaydenchan7093 very
4:12 I think it's also worth mentioning that the spring loaded hammer has the second highest durability of any weapon in the game. Losing to the amiibo only biggoron sword and beating the third best, the great thunderblade. This makes it the most durable weapon you can obtain without spending money on DLC or amiibo, and the most durable one-handed weapon in the game.
You may think that weapons like the one hit obliterator, bow of light or the master sword technically have higher durability, but that's not actually the case. The master sword has less durability in the game's memory, but has a special property that makes it take less durability damage per hit, and the one hit obliterator and bow of light simply bypass durability calculation, similar to the master ball from pokemon.
Does the Master Ball just bypass the catch rate formula? I was pretty sure it just had a modifier of x255.
@@nategwright I'm not sure if it depends on the generation but I can tell with you with 100% confidence that in the first generation of games it does in fact just simply bypass any calculations and formulas and just catches the pokemon. If I'm not mistaken, any time you throw a ball at a pokemon the game first runs a check to see if the ball is a master ball or not before running the calculations, but I'm not as certain about that part.
There's a common myth that the master ball had a 1/256 chance to fail in the first generation games, but that isn't the case. That glitch does apply to moves with 100 accuracy, but the devs were smart enough to stop it from happening to the master ball.
If you're interested I'm sure you can find more specific information online written by people who have the code in front of them and know how to read it.
And that's why I use it to hit stuff I don't want to waste durability on.
Wtf a lizalfos' arm being a boomerang is such a cool detail!! I never noticed that
My dumbass found the out the first time i picked one up because I didn’t want it and everytime i trash a weapon, i like to toss it off a cliff
@@Jacob39822Gaming I guess you were surprised to see to return to you.
The drill shaft needs a better spawn rate though its so hard to find them some times.
There is always one in a rocks blocked cave top east of Goron City. It respawns every Blood Moon, though being not held by enemies, it comes without bonuses.
@@WyvernVin Ok thanks bro. Can I get a fist bumb? 🤛
@DJ Handy there is also a moblin near death mountain that has one
@@JACG I know but thats like 3 I want like a full inventory of them
@@UnknownError839 🤚 hamd bump
Sad fun fact:
The +50% bonus to a boomerang when thrown does not apply when throwing it at a frozen enemy (it's still x3 from the freeze)
To be honest, I'm kind of upset that the Hyrule equipment (Guard equipment) is so much better then the other Race's equipment. I think it would be been nice if each faction had the best of one item type.
Rito had the best bows (still semi true other than royal bow)
Hyrule have the best shields (true because of the Hyrule shield and the Royal shields)
Gerudo should've had the best claymore
Zora should've had the best spears
Royal Guard's Bow isn't that good though because Royal Guard's gear has horrible durability.
gerudo should have the best swords, gorons best claymores.
@@expl2173 Oh true that
@@expl2173 and Zora best spears
@@finmacd796 they already said that in the comment
3:19 - 4:35 4 years later, and I still didn't know most of this bit. Wow.
Same...I hate to admit that I didn't know the master sword had an alternate attack lol
Another special characteristic for the ancient bow: It has a special ‘armour piercing ability, where it can ignore the shield of an enemy and go straight through. It even works on Calamity Ganon’s shield in his 2nd phase, but you have to be in bullet time for some reason
I still haven't seen anyone talk about the special animation that spears have while mounted and charging an attack. Link twirls the spear!
I'm pretty sure theres a glitch where you can make the hitbox of the spear permanently active while you spin it
I knew a lot of the information in this, but not as much as I thought I did. And even with a lot of the things I did know, I didn't know about the specifics. So overall, I learned a lot more than I expected.
Same. The modifiers are pretty nice to know, but I barely knew anything about the bows, because I generally just used melee. :/
I feel like there aren't too many games with hidden tech like these anymore. Just little things that if you know about, it can make your play sessions more fun of efficient. Since the game don't really tell you about them or even give you a hint about them for most of the time, they cannot be something that would be required to beat the game but they're things that if you experiment with enough, discovering them will give you a slight upper hand above those who don't. I just think these are really fun to try out and share with others.
The entire monster hunter series is like this, hidden values everywhere
@@martmine4618 i have rise, but what hidden values?(i haven't played it allot, so i have no clue)
My go-to game for this kind of thing is State of Decay. At first glance it's just a kind of a... dime-a-dozen, janky, zombie survival game... but SoD 1 is the game that made me realize how much I value experimenting and discovering hidden mechanics on my own. Minecraft and Dark Souls both have a TON of tricks too, but those games kind of depend on you to learn about online. State of Decay is cool because you can figure things out on your own... I was still learning new things about it dozens and dozens of hours in. I've still got a lot to learn about SoD 2.
5:34
when hyrule field’s song from TP started playing.. Got a massive chill down the spine and Nostalgia.
I've actually long suspected some of these. The hammers I knew pretty much everything about, except the cracked rocks. But I never knew for sure about the bow stats, and the boomerang damage and dragonbone luminous set boost were surprises. Definitely need to bookmark this video
Yeah, I honestly didn't expect the Dragonbone weapons to count for the "bone" weapon bonus. That's actually kinda OP now that I think about it, because those are pretty much the default weapons for late game Bokoblins & Moblins, making this an incredibly accessible source of damage.
Also, lynel shields deal damage when parrying an enemy's body
Ancient bow also has a piercing property, meaning you can shoot trough enemy's shield
Apparently it’s not just shields, but armor in general as well.
Which would send you flying further?
A: A literal metal sludge hammer
B: A plastic squeaky toy
Another little thing i noticed is that the fire and ice staff are equally to one cold and heat resistant piece of clothing when equipped.
As are the elemental melee weapons
Edit: Fire and ice weapons that is, lightning doesn't do anything when worn to my knowledge.
@@33link333 it just makes you get zapped harder lol.
The fire and ice weapons aren’t like armor, though, because they change your body temperature (like how being next to a campfire makes your temperature dial increase) instead of increasing the limits to how cold/hot you can get
If you want to kill Gannon really easily just fully upgrade the ancient armor, get an ancient bow, and use ancient arrows. It does a lot of damage to him.
I had an interesting small question..
How does flying with a cucco affect your stamina loss compared to flying with a paraglider? Which is faster?
It's been 4 years and we are still finding new infos, crazy the detail they but into that game. Can't wait for the next one
Croton's videos are 1000% better than I thought they'd be.

@@Player-jh4ko why should he
@@gaelmartinez6195 Oh sorry. I replied on the wrong comment I meant to say that on a different video. I'll delete it.
@@Player-jh4ko don’t worry
I like the attention to detail in this game. It would have been easy to have all weapons do the same base damage to any enemy, but Nintendo was like, ‘So we have a giant rock monster here, so how about most weapons do normal damage, but hammers do increased damage.’
I didn’t know the royal guard bow had different stats! I typically just ignored it as it has a decreased durability. Also drill shaft is that best.
Great video as usual and big congrats to you!
Congrats on 100k Croton!
Thank you!! :D
Man its exact too!
DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE IS WHEN BOTW 2 COMES
@@pissheater3k factual(idk if that's supposed to be positive or not)
If you want to find the drill shaft, I recommend going to a bokoblin camp north of skull lake. The chest has a drill shaft, and if it’s raining you can pick up the bomb arrows the bokos shoot at you
I love this series!! Can't wait for your next stream
I'm happy you enjoy it!! 😄

I'm glad you find them helpful! Thank you :)
This morning i was playing botw and i didnt had any arrows left and had a big boomerang equipped, i wanted to kill a bokoblin on a tower and remembered i could throw it. I find this great that certain weapons can replace arrows for distanced enemies 😀
I really enjoyed this. Especially the elemental rod secondary attack and the long sword strikes.
0:36 I love how that yiga blademaster just appeared like "WHO JUST DESTROYED MY WINDCLEAVER"
I get that they want discovery through experimentation, but I do wish they gave more stats or hints about attributes through item descriptions. I tossed aside so many weapons/bows/shields because at a glance, they seem totally inferior.
Can't believe when I first found this channel you had 30k subs. Months later you're now at 100k. Congrats. You deserved it !
It's been a fast ride, but also a great one!! Thank you 😄
I first found it when it had like 30K subs too, and I was surprised he didn't have more!

Congratulations for 100000 subscribers, Croton! Btw, this is also another Stats video that I can rewatch and learn what type of weapon I could use for any situation and challenge my friends and myself by using for instance only Rito or Goron weapons and bows. Keep the great work going!

I love taking advantage of unique properties. Thank you, Crouton!
Wow I’ve always loved how informative and helpful your videos are, and I’m so happy to see you got 100k! Thanks for all the work you do! Keep it up!
Always happy to make them, and will always continue!! Thank you much 😄😄
Not really any more hidden than usual, but a Royal Guard bow with Durbality up + can in some cases more than double the durability up to a pretty reasonable 50. It's by far my favorite and one of the most usable royal guard weapons without using durability transfer.
Congratulations for the 100k. Very well deserved with the content you've been putting out all this time
I really like the variety of the footage you use, it's great!
It's so frickin awesome to see 100k next to your name!! I'm so, so pleased for you! You deserve every success, here's to the many mega milestones on your horizon!! 🥳🥳

I love your videos. Thanks for all the content, entertainment, and advice 🙏🏽
Hey I'm glad you enjoy them! Thank you 😄
Here is something i dont see people mention often, you can kill small enemies with a shield by just parrying their attacks, by doing that you can avoid wasting your weapon durability in enemies that only have one hp like bats, skelletons and small chuchus, i believe parrying a huge chuchu will hurt him but im not sure i havent played this game in a while
You can kill any enemy with a lynel shield just by parrying into them.
@@gpw6287 yes but im talking about shields that dont do damage

@@Croton yessir
What? This shellcialist dons the traditional cap of the Fatcats and the Swinemen? Quickly, comrade, explain yourself! I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation. You appropriated it, yes?
I've also noticed that the Dragonbone Boko Spear is able to hold a flame between its jaws when set alight, such that it will never burn up whilst being wielded in this way, despite technically being a wooden weapon. I don't know if a similar trait applies to anything else.
Hmm, ill have to test that out myself! interesting!
Update: Just tested it out and no the spear does not hold fire any longer than usual - just the same 60 sec like other weapons
then we'll test the dragonbone moblin spear!
