Critical Hits are a recurring mechanic in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2]

Overview

Breath of the Wild

Critical Hits are strikes that deal twice the normal damage for a Weapon. There are three ways to achieve this effect: hitting an Enemy's head or Eye with an Arrow,[3][1] successfully throwing a Weapon at an Enemy,[4] and breaking a Weapon while striking an Enemy.[5] Weapons can be found with a Critical Hit Weapon Bonus, which increases the likelihood of landing a Critical Hit in the final blow of a chain of attacks. A unique sound effect will play to indicate a Critical Hit: a high-pitch sound when an Arrow is shot, and a loud popping sound for melee Weapons.

Sneakstrikes are a similar phenomenon, which deal more damage by stealthily attacking an unaware enemy from behind.
