- "A single-edged sword seldom seen in Hyrule. This weapon is passed down through the Sheikah tribe and has an astonishingly sharp edge ideal for slicing."
- — Hyrule Compendium
Eightfold Longblades are items from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. They are Sheikah longswords with a base attack power of 32, though this may increase if they have certain weapon bonuses. One can be obtained in a Treasure Chest found in the Shee Vaneer Shrine. They are also occasionally wielded by enemies, such as a Lizalfos on Samasa Plain near the Rucco Maag Shrine. The swords are rarely seen in Hyrule, and were forged using Ancient Sheikah technology. When charged, instead of doing a heavy spin-attack, Link will hold it like he's about to draw it from a side sheath and do a quick slash when the button is released.
In Recovered Memory #17: "Zelda's Awakening", one of the unnamed Sheikah warriors that find Link and Princess Zelda carries one sheathed on his back like Link does.
Etymology[]
The longsword's name may be a reference to the Eightfold Path from Buddhism.
