What equipment is unique

zelda-breath-of-the-wild

What gear in the game is unique, in that you can only ever obtain one of them (at a time) in the game?

I only know about the following items:

  • Master Sword – recharges instead of breaking
  • Champion weapons – can break like any other weapon, but an NPC near where you obtained each one will make you a new one in exchange for some materials.
  • Hylian Shield – I'm unsure about this one

Are there any other unique weapons, bows, or shields in the game that you can't get another of once their durability runs out?

I found a cool Frostspear in a shrine but I'm hesitant to use it unless I know I can get another one later on.

Best Answer

The following items can only be obtained in one way:

  • Master Sword
  • Hylian Shield
  • All the Champion weapons
  • Cerimonial Spear
  • Rubber Armour Set
  • Barbarian Armour Set
  • Climbing Armour Set
  • Zora Armour Set
  • Old Shirt
  • Old Trousers
  • Snow Boots
  • Sand Boots
  • Thunder Helm
  • "Of the Wild Armour Set"

All items that can only be obtained in one place (except the Nintendo Switch Shirt) and don't respawn can be re-obtained either by remaking them (in the case of the Champion weapons), or can be purchased from a special store.

Spoilers for the store:

You must complete the quest "From the Ground Up", which is unlocked after purchasing the house in Hateno Village. After you've fully built the town, and NPC will spawn on the roof of the building right of the entrance of Tarry Town. Speak to him. He can sell anything that can only be normally obtained once in the game, bar the Master Sword, Cerimonial Spear, and Champion Weapons
