Zelda: Breath of the Wild weapon repair: Octoroks are the key
In Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, there is no way to repair weapons and other items. Fortunately, there is one surprising way where you can get your old weapons back and use them again. The answer lies within Octoroks — those balloon-looking enemies you may encounter in bodies of water throughout the game.
As per the GameFAQ’s forum a user sting_art, Octoroks can suck up your items in battle. Once you defeat them, you will get your weapons back shiny and new. Notably, we have not been able to confirm by our self as of now. But several other commenters claimed to have used and said that the trick really works. Apparently, it also removes rust from weapons.
If you want to repair your weapons but can’t find any Octoroks, try looking near Oren Bridge on the way to Zora’s Domain.

The Lightscale Trident is a two-handed spear giving Link exceptional range in close combat. However, this weapon can degrade and break if you use it excessively. Fortunately, there is a blacksmith in the Zora Domain that can help you repair your broken Trident.
After talking with other Zora NPC’s, you will get an idea that the Lightscale Trident is the Champion’s weapon, but there’s actually another trident that is used for ceremonies. Notably, the Ceremonial Trident is nothing but a weaker version of the Lightscale Trident but acts in the same way. The Zora blacksmith can also repair that weapon if it happens to break.
When you meet the blacksmith, he will tell you that he needs a lot of Flint to repair the tridents. So when you find Flint during your journey, be sure to hoard some for when you want to repair your Lightscale Trident.
