The '''White Sword''' is a recurring series of [[Sword]]s in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. It has appeared in two games thus far. It is the second best sword in both games it is offered in.

==''The Legend of Zelda''==
{{Old Man}}
The White Sword is the second sword [[Link]] receives in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. It is located inside a cave on the top of the waterfall just west of the [[Lost Hills]]. The White Sword is twice as powerful as the [[Sword (The Legend of Zelda)|original Sword]], making it very simple to defeat most of the basic enemies in the game, including [[Goriya]]s and [[Vire]]s. In order to be eligible for the White Sword, Link has to accumulate at least five [[Heart Container]]s, then go to the aforementioned location, where the [[Old Man]] says to Link, ''"Master using it and you can have this."''{{Ref|LoZ|42|[[Old Man]]}} If Link has accumulated at least five Heart Container, the Old Man then gives Link the White Sword. 

It is possible to obtain the White Sword before the first dungeon by using the [[Candle|Blue Candle]] to find [[The Legend of Zelda Heart Containers|secret caves]] underneath bushes where the Old Man offers Link either a Heart Container or a [[2nd Potion]].{{Ref|LoZ|57|[[Old Man]]}}

==''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''Oracle of Ages''==
{{Main|Noble Sword}}
In the Japanese version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', the [[Noble Sword]] is called the White Sword.

==''The Minish Cap''==
The White Sword also appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''. It is the reforging of the legendary blade, the [[Picori Blade]] after it was shattered by [[Vaati]]. 

[[Melari]] will reforge the [[Broken Picori Blade]] while Link is completing the [[Cave of Flames]]. After the dungeon is completed, he will have finished the White Sword and gives it to Link. This sword has nearly double the strength of [[Smith's Sword]]. After obtaining the White Sword, Link can infuse it with the power of the [[Earth Element|Earth]] and [[Fire Element|Fire element]]s. This new White Sword is slightly stronger and it allows Link to duplicate himself using certain tiles located throughout Hyrule. After completing the [[Temple of Droplets]], Link can head back to the [[Elemental Sanctuary]] once again. The White Sword can now be infused with the power of the [[Water Element]]. This sword is slightly stronger as well and it allows Link to split into three copies of himself.

After infusing the fourth element, the [[Wind Element]], the White Sword will become the [[Four Sword]].

===''BS The Legend of Zelda''===
The hero can get the White Sword from an Old Man hiding under a grave in the graveyard if they have at least five [[Heart Container]]s. While it can technically be obtained as soon as the [[Blue Candle]] becomes available to buy at the start of Week 2, whirlwinds make the graveyard hard to reach until they are suppressed by a spell from the Old Man resident in the [[Starting Screen]] cave, 45 minutes into Week 2.
