## Lore

The Forgotten Weapons are the weapons of Hylian Soldiers, forged en masse during the Last Great War of Hyrule.

## Background and Inspiration

The Forgotten Sword was the first Forgotten Weapon and was added in version 4.4. The longsword and broadsword variants were added in version 6.0. The Forgotten War Axe and Battleaxe were added in version 6.47. The Forgotten Hammer, Warhammer, Dagger, Bow, and Spear were added in version 6.5.

All of the Forgotten Weapons are composed of iron, steel, and Dwarven weapon meshes. The three swords have the pommel and handguard of a Steel Sword, with the blade of a Dwarven Sword, and the grip of a Dwarven Mace. The Forgotten War Axe has the head of a Dwarven War Axe, with the handle of a steel war axe, while the battleaxe has the head of a Dwarven War Axe and the handle of an Iron Battleaxe.

The weapons were added with the intent of serving as starting weapons for the player, and as common, weak weapons for recurring enemies.

The Forgotten Sword is named after a weapon from *A Link Between Worlds*.
