Impa

The Sheikah Tribesman, Impa, plays like a samurai straight out of feudal Japan. Speed, precision, and mass devastation are the traits she brings to battle. Wielding both a water-based Giant Blade and a fire-based Naginata, Impa has an elemental versatility that few other Warriors have, making her utility in every Scenario second only to Link’s. She wastes no time in defeating her enemies because her duty is, first and foremost, to protect Princess Zelda.

How to unlock

Impa is unlocked after completing “The Armies of Ruin” in Legend Mode.

Impa’s Weapons

Giant Blade

Impa’s Giant Blade lives up to its name by being one of the larger weapons in the game. There are no tricks to this weapon, just incredible power, great range, and excellent speed. Her Giant Blade is also infused with the element of water, which means that enemies that hit with certain attacks take damage over time while there is water covering their head.

Giant’s Knife

This is Impa’s starting weapon.

Biggoron’s Knife

You can find this weapon in the Sealed Weapon in “Land of Myth” in Legend Mode.

Biggoron’s Sword

You can find this weapon in Scenario G-6 of the Master Quest Map. You must first use an Item Card in the Search Screen to locate it, and then get an A-Rank to unlock the weapon.

Biggoron’s Sword +

You can find this weapon in Scenario C-7 of the Termina Map. You must first use an Item Card in the Search Screen to locate it, and then get an A-Rank to unlock the weapon.

Naginata

Compared to the Giant Blade, the Naginata might feel a bit unruly, but that doesn’t make it any less devastating. This weapon is strong and makes Impa highly mobile, as its moves propel her around the battlefield like an overly caffeinated harbinger of death. One of the best reasons to use this weapon is its Special Attack, which creates giant Naginata blades that draw foes in like a prison cage and then crash down on them, decimating any that are anywhere near the attack. It’s one of the best Special Attacks in the game, easily defeating 50+ foes and taking giant chunks out of the Health Bars of enemy Captains.

Guardian Naginata
