Template:Weapon

The sword is Link's primary weapon in the Legend of Zelda series. The sword is one of the first weapons Link obtains, the other being the Shield. The Sword is also the most crucial weapon Link obtains, as it is adequate in defeating most foes he encounters. The sword is also used to break open pots, trigger switches, and slash grass. In certain The Legend of Zelda games, the sword can be used to detect whether a wall can be destroyed with a Bomb through the hollow clang sound it makes when hitting a suspicious wall. Link holds the sword in his left hand in most titles, but he uses his right hand in the Wii version of Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. Swords such as the Giant's Knife, Biggoron Sword, and the Great Fairy Sword require both hands to hold. Link acquires many different swords along his quests, and he can also learn various sword techniques and skills.

Types of Swords

Basic Swords

Usually the first sword Link obtains. Examples of basic Swords are the Recruit's Sword, Oshus's Sword, Ordon Sword, Wooden Sword, Smith's Sword, Hero's Sword, Kokiri Sword, and Fighter's Sword.

Legendary Swords

Link often needs a sword stronger than a Basic Sword to defeat tougher bosses or the final boss. Some examples of Legendary Swords are the Lokomo Sword, Phantom Sword, Master Sword, and Four Sword.

Optional Swords

Optional swords include the Giants Knife, the Biggoron Sword, and the Great Fairy Sword.

Appearances in games

The Legend of Zelda (Game)

At the start screen you can find an old man in a cave who will give you the Wooden Sword. Later on, after Link has six Hearts Link can get the White Sword instead. White Sword does twice as much damage as the Wooden Sword. You can eventually find the Magical Sword, which does 3x as much as the wooden sword, requires 12 hearts. Can fire Sword Beams with the wooden sword.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

You only get one sword in this game, it's the one you start with. However though, you can level it up if you accrue enough XP. Can fire Sword Beams at any point.


A Link To The Past

You get the Fighters Sword fairly early on in the game. Later on, you earn the right to wield the Master Sword. You can upgrade it into the Tempered Sword, and eventually the Golden Sword. Starting with the Master Sword, you can fire Sword Beams

Link's Awakening

You quickly acquire the Sword upon waking. Once you obtain 20 Secret Seashells you can go to the Seashell Mansion and get the Level 2 Sword, this sword does more damage and can shoot Sword Beams

Ocarina of Time

You get the Kokiri Sword very early on in the game and keep it for quite a while. You are eventually able to acquire the famous Master Sword and use that for the rest of the game.

As and adult, you can buy the Giant's Knife which does even more damage than the Master Sword, but it breaks in just a few hits. If you go through a lengthy Side Quest that involves lots of running around you can get the Biggoron Sword which does just as much damage as the Giant's Knife, only it doesn't break.

Majora's Mask

You start out with your old Kokiri Sword but once you have access to the Snow region, you can take it to a smithy for sharpening, which will transform it into the Razor Sword for 100 rupees. This sword does double damage, but it will break and return to the original after 100 swings. If you beat the Snow region, you can reset Time, beat the region boss again, and once Spring comes win in the Goron races to get a Bottle with some Gold Dust inside of it. If you already possess the Razor Sword, you can take it and the Gold Dust back to the smithy and they will upgrade the Razor Sword into the Gilded Sword, which does even more damage.

If you rescue all the Stray Fairys in the Stone Tower then return the Great Fairy to her original form, she will grant you the Great Fairy Sword, which does even MORE damage than the Gilded Sword.

Oracle of Season's & Oracle of Age's

You start out with just a plain regular sword. However, you can get the Noble Sword from several different methods. You can acquire it through the in-game trading quest, or by using the password from a linked game.

The Wind Waker

You get the Hero's Sword fairly early on, after seeing Tetra fall into the woods on Outset Island. After completing the puzzle in Hyrule Castle you get the Master Sword. It's powered down though, and requires a restoration, which covers the next two temples. Restoring it doesn't actually increase it's power, but it does enable you to hurt Ganondorf.

Phantom Hourglass

You get Oshus's Sword from the old man Oshus. It is replaced by the Phantom Sword much later on in the game.

This weapon becomes the Four Sword.

Twilight Princess

The Wooden Sword makes a return here and you get it fairly early on, after Rusl repairs it for you. Its quickly replaced though, by the Ordon Sword once Midna takes you to back to Ordon Village.
