About this converter
Breath of the Wild prints one number per weapon: base attack. The ladder starts at 2 with Tree Branch and Torch, steps to Boko Club 4 and Traveler Sword 5, then climbs through Rusty Broadsword 6, Boomerang 8, Spiked Boko Club 12, Soldier Broadsword 14, Zora Sword 15, Gerudo Scimitar 16, Forest Dweller Sword 22, Dragonbone Boko Club 24, Knight Broadsword 26, Master Sword 30, Royal Broadsword 36, Lizal Tri-Boomerang 36, Ancient Short Sword 40 and Savage Lynel Sword 58. That makes one Savage Lynel Sword equal over 29 Tree Branches or over 11 Traveler Swords. Every value here is the base compendium attack with no modifier.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first weapon, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the total in damage. Try 1 Savage Lynel Sword against Boko Clubs.
Modifiers stay out: attack-up bonus rolls add on top of these bases and vary per drop, so rows pin the base only. Master Sword lists at 30 base and rises to 60 near Guardians, Blights, Ganon and after Final Trials. Two-handed axes, spears and rods stay out to keep this table to one-handed swords, clubs and boomerangs. Durability varies per weapon and is noted in sources, not in math.
