The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildis filled with various weapons to discover, and a group of fans on Reddit recently discussed which are the best. Nintendo's most recent outing in the Zelda franchise is one of the series' most beloved and iconic, due in part to its huge open world and many collectibles and secrets. Even five years after its release, BOTW players are still finding simple tricks and making baffling discoveries.

Of course, the iconic Master Sword makes an appearance in the game, though it is set apart by a few distinctions, including the fact that it doesn't break like other BOTW weapons.
