What is a Weapon Modifier?

Weapon Stat Boosts

Zelda TOTK - Weapon Modifiers

Weapon Modifiers are weapon stat boosts that affect the effectiveness of a weapon. This can range from boosting a weapon's strength and durability, to how many arrows you can shoot at once and many more.

Whenever Link kills enemies, a hidden counter goes up and once the counter reaches a certain threshold, Link's enemies and obtainable weapons around the world get upgraded by a tier. In other words, the values of weapons increase the more enemies Link kills around Hyrule.

Different from Passive Ability

Weapon Modifiers are different from Passive Abilities, as a specific Passive Ability is set to each weapon and cannot be changed. Even if you fuse a weapon with a passive ability, the fused weapon will inherit the passive ability.
