Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is all about destroying hordes – and we mean hordes – of typical Zelda opponents in your quest to grab the Master Sword and 'rescue' Zelda. It's only natural, then, that you want to unlock all of the various weapons on offer.

In this guide, we're going to help you do just that. We've put together a list of all of the weapons together by character, and included notes on where each of the weapons and weapon upgrades can be found. Happy hunting!

If you're wondering how to unlock a few of the characters on this list, check out our complete guide on how to unlock every character. We've also got a list of costumes and how to unlock them (including the Breath of the Wild costumes) and, if you want to give a particular character a boost, we've also run a list of all of the heart containers.
