Tears of the Kingdom



Axes are One-Handed and Two-Handed Weapons that can be made by Fusing sharp Materials or Objects onto One-Handed or Two-Handed Weapons.

Echoes of Wisdom



Axes are Weapons wielded by Darknuts. How they are used differs based on the type of Darknut wielding them; while regular Darknuts wield a single-bladed Axe used only for slashing attacks, Darknuts Lv. 2 and Lv. 3 both wield double-bladed Axes that they can perform spin attacks with. The Axes wielded by standard Darknuts have a burgundy handle and a gray blade, those wielded by their Lv. 2 counterparts have a gold handle with silver blades, and the Axes of Darknuts Lv. 3 have a blue handle and gold blades.

Non-interactable Axes can be found in the environment at locations such as Link's House. Axes of this variety cannot be Learned by Zelda as an Echo.
