Guardian Sword · Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Base equipment reference

Using this reference

When comparing Guardian Sword, match the equipment slot and version first. Item level, rarity, attack values and defensive values describe different parts of an item; they are not interchangeable scores. Read a damage range as a range rather than assuming every hit reaches its upper end.

Use the nearby entries to compare one practical trade-off, such as requirements against the values you need. If a special effect, acquisition method or upgrade rule is not listed, check the linked source before spending materials or changing your build.
