Talk:Weapon Strength

This article needs improve
I didn't want to cause troubles when I changed the page, but I have tested many weapons with many enemies, and I'm 100% sure that there  are wrong numbers.
 * I went back and checked my notes, and I even loaded up the games again to check. The numbers on there now are correct. This page isn't for personal theories on weapon damage, it is for confirmed facts about them. Nothing is placed on this page without making sure there is sufficient data to back up the numbers. The only way there could be an error is if something is copied down wrong, such as with the Hookshot there. But we do not put up numbers on the page just because we think it should be something. Just because something is a magic item doesn't mean it has max damage. 20:26, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Should the Jump Attack and Spin Attack be included here? Don Lark Kiin
 * I don't see why it'd be practical. They double the attack power of whichever sword Link has. It'd be messy to list them all for each sword. 17:46, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Scratch that, I thought of a way to include that and similar things. 19:32, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

In my experience in Skyward Sword, the Skyward Strike does half the damage of the sword until you get the True Master Sword in normal playthrough. Also, I have noted that the Master Sword deals approximately three times the damage of the Goddess Sword (six times the Practice Sword), though I may be off on this. I'd also like to inquire as to why the Massive Swords (from the Koloktos battle) are not listed. Kyro-Dizzy


 * OK, what evidence do you have that these values are correct? I've included my evidence in the table. If the Master Sword did only three times as much damage as the Goddess Sword it would take nine hits to kill a wooden shield Moblin, not seven. I know the Prima guide says the Master Sword is three times as strong, but these and other hits-to-kill values indicate that it isn't correct. I made very sure of all these values with extensive testing in my copy of Skyward Sword. As for Skyward Strikes, I'm less sure and I'd go back and re-test them, but my Wii has been damaged somehow and no longer reads discs. If you can present data supporting the value you say, I'll change the table. As for Koloktos's swords, I must confess I just didn't get around to testing their strength until after the Wii stopped being able to run the game. I'd be delighted if you could test their strength for me. There is one thing that may complicate this, though: Koloktos cannot die to anything but its own swords. Its health can be brought down to zero with just the Goddess Sword, but it will stay alive until it is hit with its own sword. This may make precise determination of the number of hits it takes with the Goddess Sword versus the number of hits it takes with its own swords difficult. It will also be time-consuming, as it will likely require several repetitions of the original Koloktos fight (not the one in the Lightning Round where you have a better sword). --Osteoderm Jacket 16:20, 31 July 2012 (EDT)
