Hyrule in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild now features unique weapons and armor inspired by past Zelda games, scattered across Hyrule and The Depths in Tears of the Kingdom. Among these relics, the Sword of the Hero offers a non-decayed weapon for players in need.
Discovering the Sword of the Hero in TotK
Journey to Dalite Grove
The Depths lie beneath Hyrule, accessible by diving into the Chasms scattered around Hyrule and The Surface. Most cameo/amiibo weapons and armor are hidden within The Depths, including the coveted Sword of the Hero. Be prepared with Brightbloom Seeds and Gloom Recovery meals for your ventures into this dangerous realm.
The Sword of the Hero awaits in the Dalite Grove at coordinates -2047, -1129, -0546.
- Dalite Grove is situated south of the Muzasu Lightroot at -2138, -0874, -0542 in the Hyrule Ridge Depths.
- Another nearby Lightroot is the Napanos Lightroot at -1921, -0359, -0635, albeit a longer walk compared to the Muzasu Lightroot.
Obtaining the Sword of the Hero with Amiibo
By utilizing the 8-bit Link amiibo, players can effortlessly acquire the Sword of the Hero, along with pieces of the Armor of the Hero like the Cap, Tunic, and Trousers of the Hero.
Evaluating the Sword of the Hero's Strength
Is it a Valuable Asset?
With a base power of 17, the Sword of the Hero holds moderate strength compared to other weapons in Tears of the Kingdom. While it may not outshine weapons acquired through main quests, it still serves as a stylish addition to your collection.
In the later stages of the game, the Sword of the Hero's power might not suffice, and its durability is not infinite. However, for new playthroughs, it provides a decent starting point with its 17 power, especially when compared to the weak decayed weapons found on The Surface.
Securing Another Sword of the Hero
Can the Sword be Purchased?
Players are limited to one Sword of the Hero in their inventory at a time. Upon breakage, a new one can be obtained by exchanging 100 Poes at any Bargainer Statue, including the one at Lookout Landing. This rule applies to other cameo/amiibo weapons like the White Sword of the Sky.
