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]]

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 Link blows up the walls on the third tier of [[Goron City]], he will eventually find [[Medigoron]] who will sell him this knife for 200 [[Rupee]]s. If Link swings it at a wall enough, it will eventually break, after which Link can purchase another one for the same price, which will also break.

Biggoron's Sword is the last sword Link can receive during his journey to save [[Hyrule]]. It is tied with the Giant's Knife, see above, power wise, but will not break. It is the best sword in the game. The catch is, like the [[Giant's Knife]], it requires two hands to carry. This means that Link cannot defend with his [[Shield]] while wielding this sword. It is given to Link by [[Biggoron]] after finishing a long [[Ocarina of Time Biggoron's Sword Trading Sequence|Trading Sequence]]. It is a rather lengthy side quest, but it is well worth it as Biggoron's Sword does double the damage of the Master Sword.

To restore it, Link needs to receive a prayer from the two Sages that watch over the [[Earth Temple (The Wind Waker)|Earth]] and [[Wind Temple|Wind]] Temples ([[Medli]] and [[Makar]]). Only then can Link use it to finish off Ganondorf by stabbing it through his head.

The [[Wooden Sword]] makes a return here and Link gets it fairly early on, after [[Rusl]] repairs it for him. It is quickly replaced though, by the [[Ordon Sword]] once [[Midna]] takes Link back to [[Ordon Village]]. Eventually, Link acquires the [[Master Sword]] after completing the [[Lakebed Temple]]. Link eventually places the power of two [[Sol]]s inside it, enabling it to cut through darkness.
