The '''Sword''' is [[Link]]'s primary weapon in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. The sword is one of the first weapons Link obtains, the other being the [[Shield]]. The Sword is also the most crucial weapon Link obtains, as it is used to defeat most foes he encounters. The Sword is also used to break open pots, trigger switches, and slash grass. In certain ''The Legend of Zelda'' games, the sword can be used to detect whether a wall can be destroyed with a [[Bomb]] through the hollow clang sound it makes when hitting a suspicious wall.

In certain ''The Legend of Zelda'' games, the sword can be used to detect whether a wall can be destroyed with a [[Bomb]] through the hollow clang sound it makes when hitting a suspicious wall. Link holds the sword in his left hand in most titles; he only uses his right hand in the [[Nintendo Wii|Wii]] version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. Swords such as the [[Giant's Knife]], [[Biggoron's Sword]], and the [[Great Fairy's Sword]] require both hands to hold. Link acquires many different swords along his quests, and he can also learn various sword techniques and skills. | ||

After acquiring the three [[Spiritual Stones]], Zelda will throw the [[Ocarina of Time]] while fleeing from Ganondorf. This instrument can be used to open the Door of Time located in the [[Temple of Time]] where the Master Sword rests. When Link pulls it out of the pedestal, he goes through a seven year sleep, thus becoming an adult since he was too young to be the [[Hero of Time]]. The Master Sword does twice the damage of the Kokiri Sword, and is only wieldable by adult Link. Should Link choose to insert the sword back into the Pedestal, he will return to seven years in the past.<br/>The Master Sword is the only weapon that can finish [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] | After acquiring the three [[Spiritual Stones]], Zelda will throw the [[Ocarina of Time]] while fleeing from Ganondorf.
