Retro Dagger

A Retro Dagger (abbreviated as R. Dagger) is the original form the Dagger sub-weapon took in the original NES version of Castlevania. It was thrown forward. The form of the Dagger changed in later games, but the original version returned in Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. It returned again years later in the Origins downloadable content for Castlevania: Harmony of Despair as the "Retro Dagger". An NFT was minted for the Castlevania 35th Anniversary NFT that showcased this weapon's effectiveness against Frankenstein and Igor in the original Castlevania.
==Game specific information==
===Castlevania: Harmony of Despair===
The Retro Dagger can be purchased for $80,000 and can be used by Jonathan Morris and any of the Belmonts. While the dagger could go across the entire screen in the original Castlevania, its range is comparatively limited in Harmony of Despair, unlike the standard Knife sub-weapon. It can pass through more walls and barriers than the standard Knife can though. Like the standard Knife sub-weapon in this game, as the Retro Dagger levels up, more daggers are thrown simultaneously, up to three. This is possibly in homage to the Double and Triple Shots power up in the original Castlevania.

*While the original sprites for Simon Belmont returned in a hidden mode in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, Simon used the same version of the Dagger that Juste uses in that game.
