Weapon Traits are a mechanic in Tears of the Kingdom.

Overview

Weapon Traits are special passive abilities that certain Weapons in a series have. In addition to being highlighted in the Weapon's description, they can also be seen under the icon when switching in the quick menu. Weapon Traits only appear on melee weapons, not Shields or Bows. Weapon Traits are only applied to base weapons, and not any attached to the end of another with Fuse.
