"A sword created by the finest Goron smithy who ever lived. It slices deep but requires immense strength to wield. Press the Strong Attack button to quickly dash into enemies!"

— In-game description

The Giant Blade is a weapon class used by Impa in Hyrule Warriors. It is Impa's default weapon class, as she begins the game with a Giant's Knife. While wielding it, Impa fights using a curved greatsword and by channeling water magic through the weapon.

Variations

  • Giant's Knife: The Level 1 variation. The greatsword has a straight, steel blade with a curve at the end, and white Goron markings along the side. The handle is gold, with a circular gold cross-guard and pommel. Named after the Giant's Knife from Ocarina of Time.
  • Biggoron's Knife: The Level 2 variation. The greatsword now has a curved design, with a serrated inner blade and white Sheikah eyes adorning the side. The handle is red, with a circular gold cross-guard and pommel.
  • Biggoron's Sword: The Level 3 variation. The greatsword has a curved, sleek design, with blue Sheikah markings adorned along the side; the handle is blue, with a slim, lighter blue cross-guard, a gold medal with the Goron emblem, and a gold pommel. Named after Biggoron's Sword from Ocarina of Time.
  • 8-Bit Boomerang?: The Level ★ variation. Impa wields a giant version of the Boomerang from The Legend of Zelda, rendered in 3D and attached to a plain black handle.
  • Biggoron's Sword +: The Level 4 variation. Appears identical to Biggoron's Sword.
  • Biggoron's Sunblade: The Level 4+ variation, which adds Hyrule Warriors Element Light.png Light as a secondary element. Appears similar to Biggoron's Sword, but with a bright yellow color scheme.

Base String? Impa performs a series of seven attacks; she swings left, swings down, jumps and smashes the ground, does so again, grinds forward on her blade, jumps into the air with a spinning kick, and smashes her blade to the ground.
C1? Impa grasps her blade and dashes forward; the length can be extended by holding X / Y . If Impa collides with an enemy, she performs a wide left slash.
C2? Impa jumps into the air with a rising strike, knocking enemies airborne; this can be extended, enabling Impa to follow up with an upward spinning slice (Y / B ) and a downward Spin Attack (X / Y ).
C3? Impa backflips forward, smashing her blade into the ground behind her.
C4? Impa manifests a bubble of water in front of her that sucks enemies in, before popping it with a strong left slash.
C5? Impa jumps high into the air, summons a set of kunai made from water, and rains them down in front of her.
C6? Impa kicks her blade into the air, summoning several water blades around her, before performing a series of powerful slashes with each water blade.
Special Attack Impa performs a powerful, horizontal slash in front of her.
Focus Spirit Finisher Manual: Impa flips her sheathed blade into the air, then as it falls, she catches the handle and performs a powerful vertical slash, firing a Sword Beam ahead of her.
