Easy access to good weapons?

Anybody got some tips on what I should be doing for good weapons? Melee/ bow/sheilds.

I just got done completing the water temple and doing the two side quests in order to get the full Zora armor set and I have also done the wind Temple already that's about how far I am.

I first started playing the day the game was released I believe in 2023 but got burned out because I was messing around with a bunch of glitches instead of actually playing the game so now I'm back and don't really remember what I was doing for weapons other than flying up inside the castle to get whatever Royal weapons are in there.

Based off my inventory upon coming back it looks like I mainly used Royal weapons fused with I think it's called sternox I believe they come from the skeleton boss.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
