The '''Hylian Sword''' is the default [[Hyrule Warriors Weapons|weapon]] class used by [[Link (Hyrule Warriors)|Link]] in ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]''. With this weapon class, Link wields a sword and shield.

*'''Knight's Sword:''' The Level 1 variation. The sword is silver-grey with a dark grey indent, and is paired with a thick grey cross-guard, a grey and blue grip, and a silver pommel. The shield is cast iron with a studded, brown outer edge, and the boss features two designs: the left side features an ornamental pattern, while the right side features the vertical blue stripes of the [[Hyrulean Army]]. The scabbard is wooden, with a metal tip and rim.

*'''White Sword:''' The Level 2 variation. The sword is pure white with a blue indent running along the entire blade, and is paired with a blue cross-guard, blue grip, and a gold pommel; the cross-guard features two hoops on either end, and a yellow gem is inset in the center. The shield is white with a blue outer edge, and features an ornamental design in blue and gold. Named after the [[White Sword]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''.

*'''Magical Sword:''' The Level 3 variation. The sword is serrated, with an ornamental indent featuring red gems, and glows red with magic. The blade is paired with a silver cross-guard, a red-and-scarlet grip, and a gold pommel with a red gem inlaid in it; the cross-guard features a highly ornamental design, with four red gems and two orange gems embedded in it. The shield is red with a gold outer edge and features a cross design similar to that of the [[Magical Shield]], with a goldden, upside-down triangle in the center, and a circular indent at the center of the cross. Named after the [[Magical Sword]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', although the sword combines the color scheme of the former game with the design of ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''.

*'''8-Bit Wooden Sword:''' The Level ★ variation. Link wields the [[Sword (Item)|Sword]] and [[Shield (Item)|Shield]] from ''The Legend of Zelda'', rendered in 3D. The shield features a diamond symbol rather than a cross, likely to cater to modern gaming audiences.

*'''Magical Sword +:''' The Level 4 variation. Its appearance is identical to the Magical Sword.

*'''Darkmagic Sword:''' The Level 4+ variation. Its appearance is identical to the Magical Sword, but with a purple, grey, and black color scheme.

| style="text-align:center"|Base String{{Tt|YYYYYYYYY/BBBBBBBBB}}

|Link performs a string of nine attacks; He slashes right, slashes left, spins and slashes left, slashes up, slashes right, slashes left, slashes right again, slashes left again, and performs a small, vertical [[Spin Attack]] in mid-air. When using the Master Sword and at full health, the completed string fires three Sword Beams ahead.

| style="text-align:center"|C1{{Tt|X/Y}}

|Link performs a Spin Attack; You can hold {{HW Button|strong}} to charge the attack and move freely before performing it. When using the Master Sword, the Spin Attack has a wider radius, and the charged version carries Link forward.

| style="text-align:center"|C2{{Tt|YX+YYYX/BY+BBBY}}

|Link performs a rising low blow that knocks enemies into the air; While airborne, this can be extended into three horizontal slashes (YYY/BBB) and an explosive Down Thrust (X/Y), which can be used separately or in order. When using the Master Sword and at full health, the initial swing fires a Sword Beam ahead, and each aerial slash fires a horizontal Sword Beam below.

| style="text-align:center"|C3{{Tt|YYX/BBY}}

|Link vaults back, before charging forward with a right slash that fires a horizontal Sword Beam ahead. When using the Master Sword and at full health, the attack shoots three Sword Beams in an arc.

| style="text-align:center"|C4{{Tt|YYYX+YYYX/BBBY+BBBY}}

|Link performs a rising Spin Attack that knocks enemies into the air; While airborne, this can be extended into three horizontal slashes (YYY/BBB) and an explosive Down Thrust (X/Y), which can be used separately or in order. When using the Master Sword and at full health, each aerial slash fires a horizontal Sword Beam below.

| style="text-align:center"|C5{{Tt|YYYYX/BBBBY}}

|Link charges forward with his shield in front, juggling enemies, before performing an overhead thrust; You can extend the duration for a short time by mashing {{HW Button|strong}}. Uniquely, this Combo Attack can be performed at any point in the base string, from the fourth attack onwards.

| style="text-align:center"|Special Attack

|Link raises his sword to the air, charging it with sacred power, before dashing forward with a series of wide Spin Attacks.

===Notes===

*Holding {{HW Button|strong}} after performing the C2, C3, or C4 will cause Link to charge a Spin Attack. Compared to the C1 version, the Spin Attack has a smaller radius, but is faster, carries Link further forward, and lets him move faster while charging.

*Pressing {{HW Button|strong}} after dodging left, right, or backwards will make Link perform an overhead thrust.
