The Soldier's Gear is a recurring archetype of Weapon in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][name reference needed]

Location and Uses[]

Breath of the Wild[]

Soldier's Gear was equipment issued to the soldiers who guarded Hyrule Castle.[2][3][4] To this end, they are known to be of decent quality and Durability.[2][3][5]

Soldier's Gear is primarily crafted out of iron, granting it an inability to burn when exposed to Fire or a Scorching Climate.[3] They will also conduct Electricity and attract Lightning during Thunderstorms, and they will sink if they are dropped in Water. Finally, they can be picked up and manipulated with the Magnesis Rune. Contradicting this, the Soldier's Bow and Soldier's Shield are constructed out of wood, meaning they are vulnerable to burning.[4][6] They do not conduct Electricity or attract Lightning, they float when they are dropped in Water, and they cannot be picked up with the Magnesis Rune.
