The Magical Sword is an item in The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link.
Appearances
The Legend of Zelda
The Magical Sword is the final and most powerful sword in The Legend of Zelda. It is easily the most powerful weapon Link can use, performing twice as much damage as the White Sword and four times as much damage as the original Sword.[2]
It can be obtained once Link has accumulated 12 Heart Containers. In the First Quest, he can take those 12 Heart Containers and head to the Graveyard, where, in the top-right screen of the Graveyard, he can push a specific grave to reveal a hidden underground area. Inside, the Old Man says to Link, "MASTER USING IT AND YOU CAN HAVE THIS."[3] If Link has 12 Heart Containers, he is able to pick up the sword. However, if he has less than 12 Hearts, he is unable to claim it as his own.
Using the Magical Sword makes most enemies very simple, as one hit defeats most enemies easily.
The Adventure of Link
The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia indicates that Link retains the Magical Sword between The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link.[4]
During the events of The Adventure of Link, it cannot be upgraded; instead, Link can increase his attack power with experience points gained in battle. The sword can also be used to pick up things like Point Bags and Keys. Like in The Legend of Zelda, Link can produce a Sword Beam when his health is full.
Non-Canon Appearances

This section describes a subject that is or may be outside the core Zelda canon. |
Soulcalibur II
"Good at penetrating defenses, but weak against impact."
The Magic Sword [sic] is one of Link's weapons in Soulcalibur II, paired with the Magic Shield.
Its design is loosely based on the Magical Sword from the The Legend of Zelda's Instruction Booklet, most obviously in the blue and red grip. It also incorporates the "three triangles" Triforce design introduced in The Adventure of Link and used as one of the main branding elements of the Zelda series thereafter.
Hyrule Warriors
- Main article: Hylian Sword
The Magical Sword is the third-level version of Link's Hylian Sword weapon and has the Light element.
While the design as a whole is new, it incorporates design elements from the Adventure of Link version; such as red diamond patterning, and details in the hilt and pommel.
