===The Legend of Zelda (Game)===
===The Legend of Zelda===
At the start screen you can find an old man in a cave who will give you the [[Wooden Sword]]. Later on, after Link has six [[Hearts]] Link can get the [[White Sword]] instead. White Sword does twice as much damage as the Wooden Sword. You can eventually find the [[Magical Sword]], which does 3x as much as the wooden sword, requires 12 hearts. Can fire [[Sword Beam]]s with the wooden sword.
 
There are three swords acquirable in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', two of them being available before the first dungeon. Link can fire beams out of the tip of his sword if his heart gauge is full.
 
====Wooden Sword====
{{Main|Wooden Sword}}
At the start screen you can find an old man in a cave who will give you the [[Wooden Sword]]. It is the weakest sword in the game, but it gets the job done against simpler enemies.
 
====White Sword====
{{Main|White Sword}}
Once Link has six [[Heart]]s, can get the [[White Sword]] to replace the Wooden Sword. The White Sword does twice as much damage as the Wooden Sword. It is possible to get this blade before the first [[Dungeon]].
 
====Magical Sword====
{{Main|Magical Sword}}
The [[Magical Sword]] is the final sword in the game. It does 3x as much as the wooden sword, and requires 12 hearts to obtain. It is possible to finish the game with just the Wooden Sword, but getting the Magical Sword makes it much simpler.


===Zelda II: The Adventure of Link===
===Zelda II: The Adventure of Link===
You only get one sword in this game, it's the one you start with. However though, you can level it up if you accrue enough XP. Can fire [[Sword Beam]]s at any point.
You have only one sword in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link| The Adventure of Link]]'', but it can be upgraded via the level up system. The level eight sword is the most powerful.
 
===A Link to the Past===
You can have four swords in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', though two of them are upgrades.
 
====Fighter's Sword====
{{Main|Fighter's Sword}}
You get the [[Fighters Sword]] fairly early on in the game. When you first arrive in [[Hyrule Castle]], your uncle will give it to you along with the shield, before his passing. It is fairly weak, and does minimal damage against enemies, but it gets the job done.
 
====Master Sword====
{{Main|Master Sword}}
After collecting the three Pendants (The [[Pendant of Courage]], the [[Pendant of Power]] and the [[Pendant of Wisdom]]) you earn the right to wield the legendary [[Master Sword]]. This legendary blade has twice the power of the Fighter's Sword. It can be upgraded into two more powerful weapons.


====Tempered Sword====
{{Main|Tempered Sword}}
The [[Tempered Sword]] is an upgrade from the Master Sword. After turning the frog back into a human and reuniting him with his friend, they will temper with your sword (hence the name) increasing the power to three times that of the Fighter's Sword.


===A Link to the Past===
====Golden Sword====
You get the [[Fighters Sword]] fairly early on in the game. Later on, you earn the right to wield the [[Master Sword]]. You can upgrade it into the [[Tempered Sword]], and eventually the [[Golden Sword]]. Starting with the Master Sword, you can fire [[Sword Beam]]s
{{Main|Golden Sword}}
After purchasing a Super Bomb from the Bomb Shop in the [[Dark World]], you can blow up an area in the [[Pyramid of Power]] only accessible via this bomb. Inside, you can throw in your Master or Tempered Sword to receive the final Sword upgrade, the [[Golden Sword]]. This blade has twice the power of the Master Sword, or four times the power of the Fighter's Sword, and makes the battle against [[Ganon]] much easier!


===Link's Awakening===
===Link's Awakening===
You quickly acquire the Sword upon waking. Once you obtain 20 [[Secret Seashells]] you can go to the [[Seashell Mansion]] and get the Level 2 Sword, this sword does more damage and can shoot [[Sword Beam]]s

====Giant's Knife====
====Giant's Knife====
 
{{Main|Giant's Knife}}
The Giant's Knife is an extremely powerful blade that is so long, it requires two hands to wield. It is only acquirable as Adult Link. If you blow up the walls on the third? tier of [[Goron City]], you will eventually find [[Medigoron]] who will sell you this knife for 200 [[Rupee]]s. If you swing it at a wall enough, it will eventually break, at which time you can buy another one for the same price, which will also break.

===Majora's Mask===
===Majora's Mask===
You start out with your old [[Kokiri Sword]] but once you have access to the Snow region, you can take it to a smithy for sharpening, which will transform it into the [[Razor Sword]] for 100 rupees. This sword does double damage, but it will break and return to the original after 100 swings. If you beat the Snow region, you can reset Time, beat the region boss again, and once Spring comes win in the Goron races to get a [[Bottle]] with some [[Gold Dust]] inside of it. If you already possess the Razor Sword, you can take it and the Gold Dust back to the smithy and they will upgrade the Razor Sword into the [[Gilded Sword]], which does even more damage.
There are four swords obtainable in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'': Your standard 'starting off' sword, and two upgrades. The fourth sword is an equipable item.
 
====Kokiri Sword====
{{Main|Kokiri Sword}}
You begin your journey through [[Termina]] with your old [[Kokiri Sword]]. This is the weakest sword in the game, and the only one that it is required. However, it is highly recommended that you upgrade it. It has two upgrades, and they are as follow: The Razor Sword, and the Gilded Sword.


If you rescue all the Stray [[Fairys]] in the [[Stone Tower]] then return the Great Fairy to her original form, she will grant you the [[Great Fairy Sword]], which does even MORE damage than the Gilded Sword.
====Razor Sword====
{{Main|Razor Sword}}
After beating [[Goht]], you can bring your Kokiri sword into the Mountain Smithy located in the [[Mountain Village]]. If you pay him 100 [[rupee]]s, he will sharpen it, upgrading it to the [[Razor Sword]]. This sword does double the damage of the Kokiri Sword, but it will break and return to the original after 100 swings. You can get it re-upgraded as many times as you want, but it will just keep breaking.
 
====Gilded Sword====
{{Main|Gilded Sword}}
If you have enough time left in the current three day cycle, you can go to [[Biggoron]] for a [[Powder Keg]] lesson. Take the Powder Keg he gives you, and carry it all the way to the entrance to the Mountain Village, but take a sharp right before entering the Village. Blow up the boulders at the top and compete in the Goron Races. '''Note: This is only available if it is spring.''' After winning, you will be given some Gold Dust. Give this Gold Dust to the smithy, who will upgrade your ''Razor Sword'' into a ''Gilded Sword.'' It will not work if you still have the Kokiri Sword. The Gilded Sword does three times the damage of the Kokiri Sword, and will not break.
 
====Great Fairy's Sword====
{{Main|Great Fairy's Sword}}
The [[Great Fairy's Sword]] is the most powerful sword in the game, doing four times the damage of the Kokiri Sword. The catch is that it's an equipable item, meaning you can not use your shield while handling it. This blade is given to you by the [[Great Fairy]] after rescuing all of the [[Stone Tower Temple]] [[Stray Fairy|Stray Fairies]].

After completing the puzzle in [[Hyrule Castle]], you can pick it up out of the pedestal in the basement. It does not possess the full power to banquish evil anymore, and must be restored to its original state. Restoring it doesn't actually increase it's power, but it does enable you to hurt [[Ganondorf]]. To restore it, you need to receive a prayer from the two [[sage]]s that watch over the [[Earth Temple (The Wind Waker)|Earth]] and [[Wind Temple|Wind]] Temples ([[Medli]] and [[Makar]]). Only then can you use it to finish off Ganondorf by stabbing it through his head.

====White Sword====
{{Main|White Sword}}
The first upgrade of the Picori Blade. It is forged by [[Melari]] while you battle through the [[Cave of Flames]]. It is twice as powerful as the Smith's Sword.
