The '''Four Sword''' is a recurring item in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. It allows the wielders to split into four copies of themselves. [[Vaati]] was sealed inside the sword before escaping twice. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', [[Link]] must forge the Four Sword with the [[Broken Picori Blade]] and the [[Four Elements]], infusing them at the [[Elemental Sanctuary]].

The weapon was originally forged by the [[Minish]] as the [[Picori Blade]] and given to the [[Hero of Men]] to fight off monsters that overran [[Hyrule]]. The Sword was used to seal the Bound Chest containing the monsters that plagued the land. It was never touched except every 100 years during the [[Picori Festival]] by the victor of a tournament held during the occasion. During the events of ''The Minish Cap'', [[Vaati]] was the victor of the tournament, and used this opportunity to break the Picori Blade and unseal the chest, releasing various monsters.

The blade is infused with similar power to the [[Master Sword]] to fight off great evil, most notably [[Vaati]]. In ''The Minish Cap'', the blade can create separate temporary copies of the wielder to solve various puzzles (such as push objects that are otherwise too heavy for the wielder to push, or press down multiple pressure switches) However, by the time of Four Swords, the blade gains the power to split the wielder for the length of time the wielder possesses the weapon, and the copies have differences than the original, such as different colored clothing (Most notably Red, Blue and Purple) and different voice pitches. Once the blade is fully charged (In ''The Minish Cap'', this requires the ability of two different [[Tiger Scroll]]s and Link needs to be at either full health or minimal health, though in ''Four Swords'' and ''Four Swords Adventures'', this requires a certain number of Force Gems) the Sword can shoot a beam to harm enemies, similar to the Master Sword in certain games (such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' to be specific). It seems this ability is shared with the Picori Blade, as it can be achieved in ''The Minish Cap'' before infusing the blade with all four Elements. According to Kaepora Gaebora, the sword also gives the wielder the ability to see the [[Dark World]].{{Ref|FSA|338|Kaepora Gaebora}}
