Lizalfos Gear
The Lizalfos Gear is a recurring archetype of Weapon in The Legend of Zelda series.[1]
Location and Uses
Breath of the Wild
Lizalfos Gear is a collection of Weapons wielded by Lizalfos. It is found in three tiers of increasing quality and durability.
Basic Lizalfos Gear is most commonly found in the possession of regular Lizalfos. It is the product of low-quality metalwork, which makes Weapons of this tier relatively fragile and weak.[2][3] The second tier of gear is typically wielded by Blue Lizalfos. It includes additional metal that gives it greater durability, and also possess greater attacking power.[4][5] The final tier of weaponry is used by wielded by Black Lizalfos, Silver Lizalfos and Golden Lizalfos, and is further strengthened and reinforced by metal enhancements.[6][7][8]
One-handed Weapons within this archetype are notable for their curved blades, which give them a Boomerang-like shape that allows them to return their owner when thrown.[9] Higher-tier variants of these weapons posses more forked blades, but still return when thrown.[4][6] Lizalfos spears are instead distinguished by blades lined with hooks and barbed edges, designed to tear and rip at foes.[2][7][10] They are sometimes used for fishing in addition to combat.[10] Lizalfos Bows are fashioned from the flexible branches of a type of waterside Tree, increasing the spring of the Weapon and thus the strength with which it projects Arrows.[11] The grip of basic Bows is reinforced with the bones of large Fish; higher tiers are instead metal, which covers most of the highest-quality Bows used by skilled Lizalfos marksmen.[11][12][13]
As Lizalfos Gear is formed from metal, all Weapons within this archetype sink in Water, do not burn when exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate, attract Lightning during Thunderstorms, conduct Electricity, and can be manipulated through Magnesis. The exception to this are the Lizal Bow and the Strengthened Lizal Bow, which are constructed primarily of wood. As a result of this, they will float in Water, do not attract Lightning, cannot conduct Electricity, are capable of burning, and are not magnetic.
List of Equipment
| Item | Strength | Durability | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
 Lizal Boomerang |
14 | 17 | A curved sword favored by the Lizalfos. It can be used to attack directly or can be thrown like a boomerang. |
 Lizal Forked Boomerang |
24 | 25 | Blue Lizalfos in particular like this weapon. It has one more blade than the Lizal boomerang to give it additional cutting power, and it still returns when thrown. |
 Lizal Tri-Boomerang |
36 | 27 | More blades means more attack power! It can be used as a boomerang, but all those blades makes that a bit more dangerous. Carried by Black Lizalfos seasoned in battle. |
 Lizal Spear |
7 | 18 | The brutal, ripping edge of this weapon’s spearhead is a distinctly Lizalfos design. Its low durability doesn’t lend itself to extended use. |
 Enhanced Lizal Spear |
12 | 22 | Judging by the harpoon-like spearhead of this Lizalfos-made spear, the Lizalfos use it for fishing as well as combat. Try not to get caught on the wrong end of its barbs. |
 Forked Lizal Spear |
18 | 28 | Skilled Lizalfos warriors tend to favor this spear. What it lacks in piercing power, it makes up for with the brutal wounds its dual ripping blades will inflict. |
 Lizal Bow |
14 | 24 | A wooden bow created by Lizalfos. It's reinforced by the bones of a large fish - a marked improvement over any standard wooden bow. |
 Strengthened Lizal Bow |
25 | 35 | A Lizal bow with a grip reinforced by metal. The body is made from the branches of a flexible tree that grows near water, which offers some serious destructive power. |
 Steel Lizal Bow |
36 | 50 | This bow is wielded by lizalfos who are expert marksmen. The metal that reinforces much of the weapon adds some additional weight but offers heightened durability. |
 Lizal Shield |
15 | 8 | A common shield found among the Lizalfos. It's made of metal, but its sloppy craftsmanship offers poor durability. |
 Reinforced Lizal Shield |
22 | 12 | This Lizal shield has been strengthened by adding a different type of metal to the mix. The edge is lined with spikes, so handle with care. |
 Steel Lizal Shield |
35 | 15 | This Lizal shield is adorned with several metal shells as a means of reinforcement. Its defensive capabilities are high, but its weight requires a skilled soldier to bear. |
