How does durability work in Breath of the Wild?
Posted On: January 15, 2023

In the tool tips, the game always says to "keep an eye on your durability" or that certain actions might "knock off some durability", but so far I have only seen 3 stages of durability: Fine, damaged, and broken.


Is there any way to track how much durability a weapon or shield has remaining, in terms of "uses" or percentage durability?


Question from user Ben at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

No, there's no way to know exactly how many hits you have left in a weapon through a percentage, durability bar, or other exact indicator.


The game gives you 3 signals for durability before a weapon breaks:.


Completely unused, which is denoted by a yellow flashing star in the upper right corner of the weapon slot in your inventory:.


Used, but not close to breaking, which is denoted by the yellow flashing star disappearing from the corner of the weapon slot in your inventory.


Damaged and close to breaking, which is denoted by a red flashing background in the weapon slot in your inventory.
