MASTER USING IT AND YOU CAN HAVE THIS |
|---|
The Magical Sword is an item in The Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link.
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.

Hero, the Evil King is after the Magical Sword and Red Ring. You will not be able to obtain them if the Evil King finds them. Do not let the two pass to his hands. It'd be terrible if he has them!"
The Magical Sword is available for only ten minutes during Week 4, between 25 and 35 past the hour, before Ganon takes it to prevent the hero from obtaining it. It is found in a cave beside a lake, one screen west of Level 7, though accessible only from the south rather than east. As in The Legend of Zelda, it is easily the most powerful sword in the game.
