Weapon Skills in Hyrule Warriors are attributes attached to weapons collected in battle. They serve to enhance the player's combat abilities, amplify elemental effects, or raise the quantity of item drops. Skills can be transferred from one weapon to another in the Smithy, though empty slots and a fee are required to do so. Many skills are sealed and only unlocked by defeating a certain amount of enemies throughout the weapon's usage; these skills cannot be transferred to another weapon until they are unlocked.
