Template:Item Caladbolg is an item in Cadence of Hyrule.

Location and Uses

Caladbolg is one of the many Weapons that can be found in Cadence of Hyrule. Like many other secret weapons, Caladbolg can be found within Hyrule Castle.[citation needed] Being of the Longsword variety, Caladbolg has a hit range of two spaces at the cost of the use of Link's Shield.[1] In addition, it is also one of the stronger un-infused weapons with a damage output of 3, and can be swung side-to-side to hit enemies on tiles adjacent to Link.[2]

Trivia

  • Caladbolg is the sword of Fergus mac Róich from the Ulster Cycle of Irish mythology. Spelled Caladcholg, it is also associated with the more obscure Ulster hero Fergus mac Léti, suggesting a conflation of two legends. It was said to be a two-handed sword that made a circle like an arc of rainbow when swung, and to have the power to slice the tops off hills and strike down an entire army. Caladbolg in Cadence of Hyrule is shown to have a gradient of colors from the base to the tip referencing its rainbow swing in the mythology.
