Some weapons, like the infamousMaster Sword,tie intoTotK’snarrative. Others, like theDusk Claymore,simply require players to visit one location and acquire it.

Thankfully, the Ancient Blade fits into the latter category. In fact, because they cannot be used as a sword, you can purchase multiple at once. There’s also a way to unlock it via an amiibo, which we’ll run through below as well.

For most players though,the Ancient Blades are best acquired from the NPC seller at Spirit Temple.This is the fifth temple players will unlock as they make their way through TotK’s main story, so you may need to progress to this point. The Spirit Temple is located in the southeast region of the Depths. Its precise location is at the following coordinates:1402, -3213, -0597.They will cost 50 Zoanite per blade.

It’s also worth nothing here that they’re also found in Treasure Chests across Hyrule. This is not a reliable method to acquire them, with other items far more common.
