[[File:Link SSBU.png|thumb|150px|right|The ''Breath of the Wild'' iteration of {{SSBU|Link}} wielding the Master Sword in ''Ultimate''.]]

The {{s|zeldawiki|Master Sword}} is a longsword from {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} universe. It has appeared in many games of the ''Zelda'' series as [[Link]]'s most powerful sword, and is one of the few weapons capable of defeating [[Ganondorf|Ganon]]. The backstory established in ''The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword'' shows that it was created from the {{s|zeldawiki|Goddess Sword}} and is inhabited by the sword spirit {{s|zeldawiki|Fi}}. It is generally found in the {{s|zeldawiki|Pedestal of Time}}, although its location varies by game.

In ''Smash'', the Master Sword appears in many roles. The Master Sword is wielded by adult Link in all games of the ''Smash'' series; in ''SSB'' and ''Melee'', it is based on its appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', whereas in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', it is based on its appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''; in ''Ultimate'', it is based on its appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild''. [[Toon Link]] wields the Master Sword as well, based on its appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''; his version is shorter and weaker, but swings much faster. {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s can also wield the Master Sword as part of the [[downloadable content]] [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Wave 1|costume]] based on Link. In ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]], five pedestals with a Master Sword appear in the [[Underground Maze]], indicating a fight against {{SSBM|Link}}. There is also a Master Sword trophy in ''Melee''.

;Master Sword

''The Master Sword varies a bit between titles in the Legend of Zelda series, but it's generally the most powerful blade that Link can carry. It's a magical weapon that can be wielded only by a true hero, and, as its name implies, it's the weapon of choice in decisive battles. At the end of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Link returned it to its stone pedestal.''

==Ganondorf's Swords==

[[File:Ganondorf_up_smash_(ultimate).png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Ganondorf}} wielding the SpaceWorld 2000 sword in ''Ultimate''.]]

The unnamed sword popularly known as the SpaceWorld 2000 sword was wielded by Ganondorf in ''The Legend of Zelda''-based {{s|zeldawiki|SpaceWorld 2000 GameCube Tech Demo}}, being used in a short sword duel with Link. Despite the sword only appearing in a tech demo before, it appeared in ''Melee'' as part of one of Ganondorf's victory poses and returned in ''Ultimate'' as part of Ganondorf's down taunt and his new smash attacks. The sword did not appear in ''Brawl'' or ''SSB4'', which used the ''Twilight Princess'' design of Ganondorf and the Sword of Six Sages from the same game.

[[File:GanondorfDownTauntSSB4.jpg|thumb|150px|Ganondorf brandishing the Sword of the Six Sages in ''SSB4''.]]

The {{s|zeldawiki|Sword of the Six Sages}} is a longsword from {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} universe. In the backstory of ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', the sword was originally used by the [[zeldawiki:Sage#Twilight Princess|Sages]] in an attempt to execute [[Ganondorf]]. While the sword stabbed into him and left a glowing wound, Ganondorf was kept alive by the [[Triforce]] of Power he possessed, and he took the sword for himself before he was sealed into the {{s|zeldawiki|Twilight Realm}}. When Ganondorf is revived towards the end of the game's plot, he uses the sword prominently in his final battle with [[Link]]. The sword is first given its official name in its appearance in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild}}'' as a legacy item unlockable through the usage of Ganondorf's ''Smash'' [[amiibo]].

{{s|wikirby|Galaxia}} is a branched sword from the {{uv|Kirby}} universe. It is [[Meta Knight]]'s signature weapon, and is used by him in all of his appearances. It was first named Galaxia in the ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' anime series, and the name was adopted back into the main games.

In ''Smash'', Meta Knight wields Galaxia in all of his playable appearances. In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', it is also the namesake of his [[Final Smash]], [[Galaxia Darkness]].

{{s|fireemblemwiki|Falchion}} is a broadsword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. A {{s|fireemblemwiki|regalia}} sword dating back to the original ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]'', Falchion is the signature weapon of the series' first protagonist, [[Marth]]. Falchion's sister weapon (or artifact, rather, as it's not intended to be used as an actual shield) is the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem|Archanean item}} or the Binding Shield; they were both created together by the Divine Dragon {{s|fireemblemwiki|Naga}} from her fangs. However, they do not have to be used together, as Marth's ancestor {{s|fireemblemwiki|Anri}} uses Falchion alone. Falchion as appears in later games with significantly different designs.

[[File:Marth SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Marth}} wielding Exalted Falchion in ''Ultimate''.]]

The version of Falchion that Marth wields is known as Exalted Falchion, its form when fully awakened with the power of the Fire Emblem. Its design is taken from ''Mystery of the Emblem''; this design is also used as the ''Fire Emblem'' [[series symbol]]. Exalted Falchion has a stronger [[sweetspot]] at the tip of its blade, which has been a consistent attribute in every ''Smash Bros.'' game Marth has appeared in.

===Chrom's Falchion===

[[File:Chrom SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Chrom}} wielding Falchion in ''Ultimate''.]]

The sword reappears in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' many centuries later, in the hands of the Ylissean royal family. [[Chrom]], as Marth's descendant, inherited the sword (which has a significantly different design in said game). The ''Awakening'' design of the weapon is used by Chrom in his role as part of [[Robin]]'s [[Pair Up]] [[Final Smash]], by {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}s wearing the Chrom [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Wave 3|costume]], and by Chrom himself in his playable appearance in ''Ultimate''. Its power is completely even throughout the blade, and also has the ability to create fire through [[Flare Blade]].

[[File:Lucina SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Lucina}} wielding Falchion in ''Ultimate''.]]

[[Lucina]] carries the same Falchion as Chrom from her future timeline, known as the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Parallel Falchion}} due to an incomplete ritual being used to awaken it. Like him, the Parallel Falchion deals consistent damage throughout the blade.

The {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Binding Blade|weapon}}, also translated as the Sword of Seals ({{ja|封印の剣|Fūin no Tsurugi}}), is a regalia sword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. The titular sword of ''Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade'', the Binding Blade was the second sword wielded by the legendary {{s|fireemblemwiki|Hartmut}} of the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Eight Generals}}, the founder of the militant nation of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Bern}} in {{s|fireemblemwiki|Elibe}}. It was used to seal away the Demon Dragon {{s|fireemblemwiki|Idenn}} and end {{s|fireemblemwiki|the Scouring}}, a war in which humans fought and exiled dragons to another dimension. Late in ''The Binding Blade'', the weapon is awakened by the Fire Emblem and reacts to [[Roy]], [[fireemblemwiki:Class change|promoting]] him into a {{s|fireemblemwiki|Great Lord}}.

In ''Smash'', the Binding Blade is wielded by Roy in all of his playable appearances. In a similar vein as Marth's Falchion, Roy's Binding Blade has consistently featured a "reverse" sweetspot at the base of its blade in every appearance, necessitating him to fight much closer to his opponents. Starting from ''SSB4'', Roy also wields it in reverse grip.

{{s|fireemblemwiki|Ragnell}} is a two-handed regalia sword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. In ''Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance'' and ''Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn'', Ragnell is a holy blade blessed by the Goddess {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ashera}} and wielded by [[Ike]], along with its partner, Alondite, which is wielded by the [[Black Knight]]. Ragnell and Alondite clash against each other, along with their respective wielders, in their rivalry throughout both games set on {{s|fireemblemwiki|Tellius}}. Both swords are the most powerful in the game and have ranged attacks. In the ancient past of Tellius, Ragnell and Alondite were the twin blades of the Beorc warrior woman, Altina.

In ''Smash'', Ragnell is wielded by Ike in all of his playable appearances. As a "testament to his strength", Ike wields the two-handed Ragnell with only one hand, granting his attacks significant strength but low speed.

==Robin's Swords==

[[File:SSB4 - Robin Screen-3.jpg|thumb|150px|Male and female Robin carrying Bronze Swords in ''SSB4''.]]

A {{s|fireemblemwiki|Bronze Sword}} is a very basic, weak sword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. Introduced in ''Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn'', Bronze Swords are inexpensive, have a very low weapon rank and high durability, but are quite weak compared to other weapons.

==Yato==

[[File:Corrin SSBU.png|thumb|150px|Male {{SSBU|Corrin}} wielding Yato in ''Ultimate''.]]

{{s|fireemblemwiki|Yato}} ({{ja|夜刀|Can be romanized as Yato or Yatō}}, ''Night Blade'') is a regalia sword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. In ''Fire Emblem Fates'', it is [[Corrin]]'s signature weapon and is capable of transforming into many variations over the course of the game, some of which are dependent on the plot path chosen.

In ''Smash'', Yato is Corrin's main weapon. The form wielded is the ultimate form of the Yato, called Omega Yato, which is exclusively available in the third plot path, ''Revelation'' and in the DLC chapter ''Heirs of Fate 6: Lost in the Waves''.

The Monado is a mythical weapon from the {{uv|Xenoblade}} universe. It is an energy blade, with the red shell opening up to produce a long beam of blue light. The Monado begins ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' as the Homs' ultimate weapon against the invading Mechon - it cannot harm Homs, whereas it is the only known weapon that can damage the Mechon. However, it appears to have a mind of its own; initially, [[Dunban]] is the only one that can successfully control its power, and even then, he eventually loses the use of his right arm due to it. When the Mechon later attack Colony 9, Dunban can no longer use it despite trying, and Shulk ends up taking it instead, finding that he can use it with no ill effects. From there, Shulk uses the Monado as his only weapon. As his adventure progresses, he discovers that it hides additional battle arts and provides him with quick visions of the future that he must take action to avoid. Over the course of the adventure, the Monado evolves to grant Shulk additional strength when he most needs it. Ultimately, Shulk and his party discover the deep and complex connection between the Monado and the nature of the world.

In ''Smash'', Shulk wields the initial form of the Monado as his primary weapon, and utilizes its [[Monado Arts]]. Due to its beam nature, the Monado grants Shulk excellent disjointed range, one of the longest in the entire series. The premonitions are also used as his [[Vision|down special]] as a type of counter move.

==Buster Sword / Fusion Sword==

[[File:Cloud SSBU.png|thumb|150px|right|{{SSBU|Cloud}} wielding the Buster Sword in ''Ultimate''.]]

The [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Buster_Sword Buster Sword] is an immense broadsword from the {{uv|Final Fantasy}} universe. Debuting in ''{{s|wikipedia|Final Fantasy VII}}'', it is [[Cloud Strife]]'s trademark weapon, and was wielded before him by Zack Fair and Angeal Hewley. The Buster Sword has become an iconic design element for both Cloud and ''Final Fantasy VII'' generally due to its massive size. The Buster Sword is wielded by Cloud in most of his appearances, and has appeared in other ''Final Fantasy'' media as well. From tip to handle, it is approximately five to six feet long, with a single-edged large blade approximately one foot wide. There are two holes near the handguard, variably said to be Materia slots, or where Cloud clips the sword onto his back.

In ''Smash'', Cloud wields the Buster Sword as his primary means of attack. When using Cloud's [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Cloud|costume]] based on ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', the Buster Sword is replaced with the combined [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Fusion_Sword Fusion Sword] from that film, with no difference in function.

==Hero's Swords==

===Sword of Light===

The Sword of Light, also known as Erdrick's Sword, is a very powerful sword that appears in titles across {{uv|Dragon Quest}} series. The sword debuted in the original ''Dragon Quest'' and has reappeared in several titles since. After its use by the legendary hero Erdrick in ''Dragon Quest III'', it received equally legendary status. The sword has since been wielded by multiple heroes across the series, including the Luminary from ''Dragon Quest XI''.

In ''Smash'', both the Luminary and Erdrick use the Sword of Light as their primary weapons, but appearance is slightly different. Luminary uses the design in ''Dragon Quest XI'', Erdrick uses the classical design.

===Zenithian sword===

The Zenithian sword is a sword that appears in a few {{uv|Dragon Quest}} titles, first appearing ''Dragon Quest IV''. It is used by [[Hero|Solo and Sofia]] as one of their several weapons throughout the game, first retrieved at the World Tree. It later appears in ''Dragon Quest V'' and ''Dragon Quest Swords'' as well.
