10 Video Games That Secretly Give You The Best Weapon At The Beginning

When it comes to versatility, the Sheikah Slate from Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild is an extremely reliable weapon in any situation.

The tablet has a variety of offensive capabilities, which take the form of runes that Link can use to defend himself. For example, the remote bomb rune causes a blast that destroys monsters or can scatter their weapons, while the magnesis rune allows Link to wield metal in the world, such as crates that you can drop on unsuspecting enemies.

Another rune, cryonis, generates ice pillars that Link can climb and use to block enemy attacks. The stasis rune lets Link control the flow of time as well, freezing enemies in their tracks and giving him the chance to counterstrike.

The Sheikah Slate also features a number of passive abilities. One of the most prominent features is a map of Hyrule that allows Link to navigate the world. He can also use it to gain access to ancient shrines that are scattered across the land. The tool also sports a temperature metre and built-in clock.

What makes the Sheikah Slate a truly amazing starting weapon is its adaptability, though. Even when other weapons break, it will still be there to get the player through another section of the game.

As a bonus, the Sheikah Slate is designed to look like a Nintendo Switch or a Wii U Game Pad, a nod to the platforms that Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild was released on.
