With so many great weapons in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it can be hard to narrow down the options to just the available inventory slots; however, players should try to keep some elemental weapons on hand should they ever need them Which includes ice weapons that can freeze enemies among other things.
Frost Weapons allow Link to freeze his enemies in place while also doing damage. This is a great way to expose enemies and make them vulnerable or stall enemies in large crowds so that Link can focus them in smaller numbers. Either way, every player should at least have one form of weapon with this element in their inventory.
10 White Chuchu Jelly Arrows
As with all the other Chuchu Jelly in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, this is a one-time-use item. The White Chuchu Jelly specifically contains elemental properties of ice, and while it may be tempting to throw it on a melee weapon, that would be a mistake as there are better options. Using it on arrows allows players to freeze enemies from a distance, but it also allows Link to create icy platforms in water by shooting a White Chuchu Jelly Arrow into it. Though it’s not exactly reminiscent of Link’s previous abilities, it is a good option for getting around on large bodies of water without wasting energy. This jelly can be obtained from any White Chuchu, usually in cold regions.
9 Sapphire Weapons
Sapphire is the gem in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that gives ice properties to weapons. Attaching it to either a melee weapon or shield will allow Link to freeze things on . Whether he is the one attacking or others are attacking him. It’s a fairly durable item, so fusing it onto a good, strong melee base like one of the swords is a great way to gain some freezing damage. Additionally, Link may use it to create the somewhat popular magical staff-type weapon, also known as a Sapphire Rod.
8 Ice Fruit Arrows
Ice Fruit grows on small trees around the map in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Though it’s not superabundant, it can be a valuable item to keep an eye out for. It works nearly the same as Chuchu jelly, meaning it has a one-time use and is better off being used with arrows for that reason. Worst case, if Link has no use for it as a material, then he can always eat it or cook it into a meal for health.
7 Ice Keese Eye Arrows
Keese Eyes are an excellent option for attempting to target an enemy that won’t quit moving, and what could be even better than hitting a wiggly target? Being able to freeze them in place also. With Ice Keese Eyes in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link can fuse them with arrows and create a homing freeze device that will not only track them but stop them in their tracks for Link to finish things off.
6 Ice Keese Wing Arrows
As with Ice Keese Eyes, enemy in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The difference between the eyes and the wings is that while the eyes track targets, the Wings ensure they can be reached by extending the distance arrows will travel and freezing enemies in their place. This is an excellent option for long-distance shots, but as the homing is only in the eye, it will need to be aimed correctly.
5 Frost Emitter Weapon
The Frost Emitter is a Zonai device in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that can be obtained via the gacha machines scattered over the world. It works essentially the same as the more common Flame Emitter, in which it shoots out a direct line of frost to freeze things. However, once the battery is out, it will need to recharge. This is an excellent attachment for just about anything, but it works best on Swords/Clubs or if players would rather have it on the defensive than Shields.
4 Frost Gleeok Horn Weapon
The Frost Gleeok Horn is a strong and durable attachment to any melee weapon to give it freezing abilities. Additionally, for those who have yet to kill one of the massive Gleeok enemies, this is probably the best one to start with as it is most obviously weak to fire, meaning that Link will have a much easier time with it than he would with the Thunder or King Gleeok in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
3 Naydra’s Horn Weapon
Naydra is the ice dragon in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that flies around the east region of the map. They can be challenging to land on as Link will need protective armor with cold resistance to do so, but once on, there are plenty of materials to be farmed. One of the most obvious is the horn which can be grabbed by attacking the horn. Fuse this onto a melee weapon and get one beautiful elemental weapon.
2 Ice Like Stone Arrows
The Ice Like Stone is dropped by the Ice variant of Like Likes. Unfortunately, this variant can be rather annoying as it will try to not only eat Link like normal but freeze him as well, leaving him vulnerable to its attack. So be careful before heading in to face it and try to keep a safe distance. Once the Ice Like is defeated in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it will drop the Ice Like Stone which Link can fuse to his arrows to make a decently strong icy attack.
1 Shard of Naydra’s Spine Weapon
In addition to Naydra’s Horn, there is another, more abundant item that is even better for creating a stack of ice weapons. Once on Naydra’s back, Link can walk across the back of the dragon in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to find Shards of Naydra’s Spine. There will be several, all along the back, and once players are done, they should have a decent amount of materials that they can fuse with any melee base weapon in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for a damaging icy supply of ice weapons.
