Here are all the confirmed Weapon Modifiers you can obtain in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
One of the best features to have carried forward from Zelda: Breath of the Wild to Tears of the Kingdom is Weapon Modifiers. In case you completely skipped out on utilizing this nifty feature in BotW, Weapon Modifiers are permanent stat upgrades that improve your weapons’ functionality, attack power, and durability.
This means that the stat buffs, when applied, will remain effective until your weapon breaks. However, applying these modifiers to your weapon and shields in Tears of the Kingdom is a whole other process.
Like in BotW, you must locate Octoroks across Hyrule and drop your desired weapon or shield near them. The octopus-resembling monster will approach your weapon or shield and swallow it whole, removing rust and granting a modifier. Once it is done repairing your gear, the Octorok will spit out the weapon right back at you.

The quality of the modifier is represented in the colors White, Green, Blue, and Gold. This guide lists every Weapon Modifier you can get in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
