In Castlevania Symphony of the Night, is this supposed to happen?

[KentaRawr!]

Okay, so I've been playing Castlevania: SotN pretty much all day today, and early on, right after getting the gem of open, I explored some underground caves. While there, I found the Ice Brand. Now, I've found many weapons after this point, but all of them weren't quite as nice as the Ice Brand, except for a combat knife I found in an area just a few minutes ago. However, I just found ANOTHER Ice Brand in a place much further on in the game, and in a rather extravagant place, sitting on a blood red pedestal. And when I think about it, I can't remember how I found the Ice Brand earlier in the underground caves. Is it possible to find it in both areas? And if so, why'd they put such an overpowered sword in an area you can reach so early on? :0

Yes, that's normal. It's an enemy drop.

[VeloZer0]

It's a rare random drop from the Fish heads. So you just got luck.

[KentaRawr!]

Oh, cool.

I dont get nothing
