So, you want the Scimitar of the Seven in Tears of the Kingdom? The weapon that makes Link look like a Gerudo desert god and hits like a truck full of bomb flowers? Good choice. But here's the kicker: this bad boy is breakable, and Nintendo isn't about to let you swing it forever without a little elbow grease. The good news? You can reforge it. The better news? This guide will walk you through every step, from rescuing a damsel in distress to fusing the thing with a Silver Lynel Saber Horn for absurd damage. Let's get cracking.

First things first: you can't just waltz into Gerudo Town and demand a legendary sword. You need to clear the Lightning Temple to unlock the town, and then you've got to talk to Cara at the Jewelry Shop. She'll spin you a tale about the shop's original owner, Isha, who's stuck out in the desert. That kicks off the "The Missing Owner" side quest. Head to the coordinates (-4769, -2830, 0029) — directly west of Gerudo Town — and you'll find Isha perched on a rock formation in the Toruma Dunes. Of course, there's a Molduga circling her like a hungry shark. No sweat, right? Bomb flowers and fused arrows make this fight a piece of cake. Once the sandworm is toast, Isha hightails it back to town on her own.

Back at the Jewelry Shop, Isha gives you the "Pride of the Gerudo" quest. She's willing to forge the Scimitar of the Seven and the Daybreaker shield for you — but only if you bring her the goods. Here's the shopping list:

Item Quantity
Gerudo Scimitar 1
Gerudo Shield 1
Diamond 4
Flint 10

Now, getting these isn't exactly a walk in the park. The Gerudo Scimitar and Shield drop from Like Like chests in the Gerudo region — there are two Ice Likes near the Statue of the Eighth Hero and one at the desert's edge. The drop is random, so make a hard save before each fight and reload if you don't get what you need. Alternatively, the Ancient Prison Ruins in Pela Wasteland have a confirmed Scimitar drop. Already broke your old one? You can find a pristine version in the Depths beneath the Gerudo desert.

Diamonds are a rare ore deposit drop, but Stone Taluses cough them up more often. You can also just buy them for 1,000 Rupees each in Goron City — ouch. Flint is easy peasy: farm ore deposits in caves and the Depths.

Hand everything over to Isha, and she'll immediately forge both pieces of gear. Boom, you're now the proud owner of a weapon with the Strong Fusion ability — which doubles the value of any fused material. That's not just good; that's "holy crap, why is this legal?" good.

But here's the rub: the Scimitar of the Seven will break. It's not a matter of if, but when. When that sad moment arrives, you've got two options. Option one: visit a Stone Octorok in Eldin Canyon to repair it. Option two: go back to Isha and have her reforge it. She'll only do this if the sword is actually broken, and it costs 3 Diamonds, 5 Flint, and 1 Gerudo Scimitar. You can choose to reforge just the sword without the shield if you pick the right dialogue option. No biggie.

Now, let's talk fusion. The Scimitar of the Seven is an end-game weapon, perfect for cleaning up whatever Hyrule throws at you after you've beaten Ganondorf. Fuse a Silver Lynel Saber Horn to it, and thanks to Strong Fusion, you're looking at a base damage of 138 (55 doubled to 110, plus the sword's own 28). That's absolutely bonkers. Combined with a fully upgraded armor set, Link becomes an unstoppable killing machine.

So there you have it: rescue a damsel, beat up a sandworm, farm some rocks, and bribe a jeweler. The Scimitar of the Seven is a bit of a grind to get, but once you've got it fused and swinging, you'll forget all about the hassle. Just don't cry too hard when it breaks — Isha's got your back. 😎
