There are several great weapons in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but the ability to do elemental damage in addition to regular damage is reserved for weapons with elemental properties. Fortunately, Link can make them himself.

To make Fire Damage weapons in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link will need to fuse his weapon bases with items that contain elemental fire properties, such as monster parts dropped by enemies already dealing fire damage or Zonai devices that do so.

10 Red Chuchu Jelly

Red Chuchu Jelly in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is something that players may come across in the warmer regions of the game, such as near Death Mountain. There they will find red Chuchu enemies, which, when defeated, produce Red Chuchu Jelly. This jelly contains the elemental properties of fire. When fused with a weapon, it will allow it to do fire damage. However, since Chuchu jelly is a one-use item, it is recommended to be utilized with arrows, not with a melee weapon.

9 Fire Fruit Arrows

Gloom Hands in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, to avoid taking damage, but there isn’t always somewhere to climb. When out in those open areas, Link can simply use the Fire Fruit Arrow to set the grass ablaze and then jump and open his paraglider, which will drive him upwards with the gust created by the fire.

8 Ruby Rods & Weapons

Rubies are one of the several gems in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. They can be found by mining any ore deposits lying around in caves, but the drops are completely random. When attached to a weapon, rubies will create Fire Damage when used. Though best used on a melee weapon, Link can use these defensively as well by attaching them to a shield which will create fire damage for enemies anytime they strike it, and finally, one of the most popular options is using Rubies with Rods to create a magic staff of sorts.

7 Bomb Flower Arrows

Likely, the most popular fuse material is Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Bomb Flowers. It has many uses, but one, in particular, is attaching it to arrows to create a fiery explosion. When used, these bombs can take out several enemies or, at the very least, do large amounts of damage. This combo is highly recommended when dealing with the battle talus as it gives Link a way to take out multiple of the riding enemies at once.

6 Fire Keese Eye Arrows

The Keese Eye is also an excellent option for arrows, not only because it allows Link to do fire damage from a distance but any eye monster material creates a homing arrow that will lock in on its target. This is a great way to do fire damage to slippery enemies that won’t seem to sit still or anything that Link is having trouble aiming at. Though it isn't normally a significant amount of damage, the elemental aspect boosts it slightly.

5 Fire Keese Wing Arrows

The Fire Keese Wing is also a material dropped by the Keese enemies upon defeat. Specifically the Fire Keese enemies. As with all wings, however, the Keese wing will allow arrows to fly farther than they would normally. This means that Link can use the Fire Keese Wings to set things on fire from a further distance which can be used for multiple things, such as structures or enemies. Either way, it’s an excellent item to have on hand when normal arrows don’t reach where needed.​​​​​​​

4 Fire Lizalfos Horn

The Lizalfos Horn is a great item to use on melee weapons in general, but the elemental ones are even better. The Lizalfos Horns are strong and durable, which means they are a reliable weapon in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for Link through at least several enemies. Therefore, having an elemental property like fire allows greater damage and the ability to damage multiple enemies simultaneously. Unfortunately, each Lizalfos only drops one at a time, so try to farm them when possible.

3 Gleeok Flame Horn Weapon

The Gleeok Flame Horn is a solid and durable item, and when fused with a sturdy melee base, it becomes one of the more powerful weapons Link can obtain. Unfortunately, gathering Gleeok Horns means having to take on a Gleeok in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but the Flame and Frost Gleeoks are significantly easier than the Thunder ones, as the former are weak to their opposing elements. However, the hard work is well rewarded, as Gleeoks will drop more than one Horn upon their death.

2 Flame Emitter Weapons

The Flame Emitter Club is one of the earliest and most easily obtainable weapons that can do a lot of fire damage. This can be made by using the Fuse ability in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to combine a Zonai Flame Emitter device with a club. It can also be attached to any other melee weapon or shield of Link's choosing. When used, the Flame Emitter will fire off a stream of fire until the battery runs out. At that point, it will need to recharge; however, even with having to recharge, this is still one of the highest ways of dealing fire damage to multiple enemies at a time.

1 Dinraal’s Horn Weapon

Dinraal’s Horn is a great melee weapon attachment for fire damage, but a little harder to obtain than some of the others as Link will have a more difficult time landing on him. Though the flight path of this Dragon in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is very linear and easy to follow, his body is burning up. Therefore, if Link gets too close without the proper precautions, he will immediately begin to take damage and quickly die. If Link doesn’t have the right armor to help him gather the materials, he can always glide near the dragon and then fire arrows at the horn, which will cause the material to drop from his body, and Link can chase it through the air in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to collect it.
