[[File:Link SSBU.png|thumb|150px|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 [[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.

|desc=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|200px|{{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|200px|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 penetrated his armor 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 starting with ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Epic Yarn}}''.

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]]. [[Kirby]] also uses Galaxia when he [[List of Copy Abilities|copies]] Meta Knight's [[Mach Tornado]], despite not normally wielding it.

{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Falchion|Archanea}} 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/artifact is the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem|Archanean item}}, a.k.a. the Binding Shield; they were both created together by the Divine Dragon {{s|fireemblemwiki|Naga}} from her fangs, to provide humanity with a means of protecting itself from sinister dragons. The weapons can be used separately or together. In the ''Smash Bros.'' series, three different Falchions appear, all under unique names.

The original version of the sword that Marth wields was known merely as Falchion in its original appearances, but in ''Smash Bros.'' and some later appearances, it is referred to as Exalted Falchion (Chrom's Falchion is also known by this name when fully awakened with the power of the Fire Emblem). As of Marth's games, it has become an heirloom of the Altean royal family after its use by their founder, {{s|fireemblemwiki|Anri}}, to defeat the Dragon King {{s|fireemblemwiki|Medeus}}. In ''Smash Bros.'', it uses its design from ''[[Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem]]''; this design is also used as the ''Fire Emblem'' [[series symbol]]. In all of Marth's ''Smash Bros.'' appearances, his Falchion has a stronger [[sweetspot]] at the tip of its blade. Kirby can also use the sword if he copies Marth's [[Shield Breaker]].

The sword reappears in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' many centuries later, in the hands of the Ylissean royal family and featuring a very different design. In the years since, Falchion has become locked with Naga's {{s|fireemblemwiki|Holy Blood}}, but its power has been reduced due to most of the Fire Emblem's gemstones being removed at the hands of the [[fireemblemwiki:Founder of Ylisse|First Exalt]] (as well as general decay to its parts, having been reforged and repaired multiple times to take on its current appearance). In this state, the sword is referred to as Sealed Falchion. By the start of the game, Falchion has been inherited by [[Chrom]], and he eventually collects the Fire Emblem's gemstones and performs the [[fireemblemwiki:Awakening (rite)|rite of Awakening]] to restore its full strength, powering it up into Exalted Falchion.

In the English version of ''Awakening'', this form is simply called Falchion, which is reflected in the [[Palutena's Guidance#Chrom|Palutena's Guidance conversation about Chrom]]. However, it is given the name Sealed Falchion in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'', which more closely matches the Japanese name ({{ja|封剣ファルシオン|Fūken Farushion}}, ''Sealed Sword Falchion'').

In ''Smash'', Chrom uses the Sealed Falchion in all of his appearances: as a playable fighter in ''Ultimate'', in his role as part of [[Robin]]'s [[Pair Up]] [[Final Smash]], and in his [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Wave 3|costume]] for {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}s. For his playable role, unlike Roy, who he is a clone of, its power is completely even throughout the blade. Kirby can also use the Sealed Falchion if he copies Chrom's [[Flare Blade]].

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

[[Lucina]] carries the same Falchion as Chrom from her future timeline, slightly powered up into a form known as the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Parallel Falchion}} after she used an incomplete rite of Awakening on it. Otherwise, it is identical in appearance to Chrom's Sealed Falchion. In ''Smash Bros.'', like Chrom's Falchion, the Parallel Falchion deals consistent damage throughout the blade. Kirby can also use the Parallel Falchion if he copies Lucina's [[Shield Breaker]].

The {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Binding Blade|weapon}} (previously localized as the Sword of Seals), 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|Idunn}} 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 to Marth's Falchion, Roy's Binding Blade has consistently featured a "reverse" sweet spot at the base of its blade in every appearance, which encourages him to fight close to his opponents. Ironically, the Binding Blade is a two ranged weapon in ''Fire Emblem'', unlike in ''Smash''. It is also capable of having [[flame]] properties on some of its attacks. Starting from ''SSB4'' onward, Roy also wields it in reverse grip for certain attacks, namely his neutral attack, forward tilt, up tilt and up special. Kirby can also use the Binding Blade if he copies Roy's [[Flare Blade]].

{{s|fireemblemwiki|Ragnell}} is a two-handed regalia sword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. Ragnell is a holy blade blessed by the Goddess {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ashera}}; in the ancient past of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Tellius}}, the apostle Altina used the sword in tandem with its counterpart, {{s|fireemblemwiki|Alondite}}. In ''Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance'' and ''Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn'', [[Ike]], after becoming a Lord, wields Ragnell as his primary weapon, while Alondite belongs to his rival, the [[Black Knight]]. The swords clash against each other, along with their respective wielders, in their rivalry throughout both games set on Tellius. Within these games, both swords are among the most powerful weapons available, capable of performing long-ranged attacks.

In ''Smash'', Ragnell is wielded by Ike in all of his playable appearances, even though he uses it in his Ranger outfit, in which he originally couldn't wield it. As a "testament to his strength", Ike wields the two-handed Ragnell with only one hand, granting his attacks significant power but low speed. Kirby can also use Ragnell if he copies Ike's [[Eruption]].

==Robin's swords==

[[File:SSB4 - Robin Screen-3.jpg|thumb|200px|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 requirement and high durability, but are often very inferior in Might (damage) compared to other weapons.

==Omega Yato==

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

{{s|fireemblemwiki|Yato}} is a regalia katana 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 story path chosen.

In ''Smash'', Yato is Corrin's main weapon, appearing in its ultimate form known as Omega Yato, the "Fire Emblem" of its continuity. This form is exclusively available in the third story path, ''Revelation'', and in the DLC chapter ''Heirs of Fate 6: Lost in the Waves''. Despite its chainsaw-like blade, it functions identically to a typical sword with the exception of Corrin's charge portion of their [[forward smash]], where the small blades rotate along with the sword and deal multiple weak hits.

The {{s|xenoserieswiki|Monado}} is a mythical weapon from the {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}} 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, it gradually causes him to lose the use of his right arm. When the Mechon later attacks Colony 9, Dunban can no longer use the Monado despite trying, and Shulk ends up taking it in his stead, finding that he can wield 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 premonitions 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 additionally utilizes its [[Monado Arts]]. Due to its beam nature, the Monado grants Shulk excellent disjointed range, one of the longest in the entire series. Some of his attacks with the Monado are taken from his moves in ''Xenoblade Chronicles''. Its ability to provide premonitions is also used as his [[Vision|down special]], functioning as a counterattack. Kirby can also carry the Monado if he copies [[Monado Arts]] from Shulk, though he does not fight with it. Unlike Dunban and Reyn in their home game, although Kirby isn't a Homs member, he can carry the Monado with no trouble.

==Aegis Sword==

 

In ''Smash'', Pyra and Mythra wield their respective Aegis Swords, rather than Rex, similarly to how Mythra does so in ''Torna ~ The Golden Country''. Pyra's sword generates [[flame]] effects for certain attacks (and the [[slash]] effect for other attacks), but as ''Smash'' lacks a true "light" element, Mythra's sword instead merely uses the [[slash]] effect for all of its direct attacks, and the {{b|magic|effect}} effect for its Light element-based moves. The energy blade of Pyra's sword has noticeably greater length than Mythra's during shared standard attacks, despite the two having identical length in their home game. During various animations in ''Smash'', Pyra and Mythra's swords levitate freely near their bodies. Additionally, during Pyra and Mythra's respective [[Final Smash]]es ([[Burning Sword]] and [[Sacred Arrow]]), the sword gets handed over to Rex, who performs the initial slash that sets up into the rest of either move. Kirby can also use both swords if he copies Pyra's [[Flame Nova]] or Mythra's [[Lightning Buster]], respectively. Pyra's Aegis Sword is also part of Rex's Mii Swordfighter costume. Pneuma's spirit also depicts her wielding her respective Aegis Sword.

===Buster Sword===

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

The [http://finalfantasy.fandom.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 and starting weapon, and was wielded before him by [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Angeal_Hewley Angeal Hewley] and {{s|wikipedia|Zack Fair}}. Angeal was the original owner of the Buster Sword and it was forged by his father when Angeal joined [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/SOLDIER SOLDIER] but after his father fell ill and passed, Angeal barely used it to avoid the blade being damaged, instead fighting with a standard SOLDIER sword because of his father's memory. Angeal would later entrust the Buster Sword to Zack as a symbol of passing on his honor and dreams. Zack uses the Buster Sword much more frequently than Angeal, but Zack would later be gunned down by Shinra outside of [[Midgar]]. Just prior to his death, Zack would pass on the Buster Sword to Cloud, naming him his living legacy and proof of his life.

 

After acquiring the Buster Sword, Cloud would use it as his main weapon but he would later get better weapons later in the game like the Hardedge and the Ultima Weapon for example. Cloud still uses the Buster Sword in cutscenes and minigames however. In ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', Cloud would place the Buster Sword on the cliff where Zack had his last stand as a memorial. The sword rusts and becomes covered in dirt due to its exposure to the elements and lack of maintenance, but after Cloud defeats Sephiroth yet again, he soon after refurbishes the Buster Sword and moves it to the Sector 5 church as a memorial to both Zack and [[Aerith Gainsborough]].

 

The Buster Sword has become an iconic design element for both Cloud and ''Final Fantasy VII'' in general, due to its massive size and simple, yet distinctive shape. 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 (and portrayed as such in ''Final Fantasy VII Remake''), or where Cloud clips the sword onto his back. Kirby can also wield the Buster Sword if he copies [[Blade Beam]] from Cloud.

 

 

 

 

The [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Masamune_(Final_Fantasy_VII) Masamune] is a longsword belonging to the antagonist of ''Final Fantasy VII'', [[Sephiroth]]. A variant of the series' [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Masamune_(weapon) recurring Masamune blade], its most notable aspect is its extreme length. The blade is taller than Sephiroth himself, clocking in somewhere between six and eight feet long. Sephiroth is said to be the only one able to effectively wield it; [[Tifa Lockhart]] briefly, but unsuccessfully, attempted to use it against Sephiroth during the Nibelheim Incident. Sephiroth gained the ability to manifest the blade at will after his merging with the Lifestream.

In ''Smash'', Sephiroth uses the Masamune as his primary means of attacking. In comparison to its original appearance, the blade's length appears to have been slightly shortened for the purpose of gameplay balance. Despite this, it is still among the longest-reaching weapons in the game, as well as the longest sword in the entire series (if not counting those exclusively wielded in Final Smashes or by boss characters, such as Kirby's Ultra Sword or Ganon's greatswords).

==Hero's swords==

===Supreme Sword of Light===

The Sword of Light is a very powerful sword that appears in ''Dragon Quest XI''. The sword is forged by [[Hero|Luminary]] and is a replica of the Super Sword of Light. The Supreme Sword of Light is an upgraded version of the Sword of Light that is forged in Act 3 in order to defeat the true final boss.

In ''Smash'', Luminary uses the sword as his primary weapon. Kirby can wield the Supreme Sword of Light if Hero's [[Frizz]] is copied, though he does not fight with it.

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 numerous weapons throughout the game, first retrieved at the World Tree. It later appears in ''Dragon Quest V'' and ''Dragon Quest Swords'', and appears in ''Dragon Quest VI'' under the name "Sword of Ramias".

The Dragovian King Sword is a sword that appears in ''Dragon Quest VIII'', being only wieldable by the Hero and is the most powerful weapon he can obtain in said game.

[[File:Sora SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Sora}} wielding the Kingdom Key in ''Ultimate''.]]

{{iw|khwiki|Keyblade}}s are the primary weapon of choice in the {{uv|Kingdom Hearts}} universe. They functionally serve three purposes: as a key to unlock virtually any keyhole, as a sword for close quarters combat, and as a wand to cast magic spells. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', [[Sora]] wields his signature {{iw|khwiki|Kingdom Key}}; it has a yellow guard, a metal colored shaft in the shape of a key, and is adorned with a keychain in the shape of {{iw|khwiki|Mickey Mouse}}'s head.

*Kirby can copy fighters via {{b|Inhale|Kirby}}, so he can use some fighters' swords through their [[Copy Ability]]. He cannot copy alternate costumes, so some non-default swords are unusable, like the Fusion Sword. Other Copy Abilities gain an unusable sword for aesthetic purposes, such as Hero's Supreme Sword of Light. In Shulk’s case, Kirby does use the weapon, but not by directly attacking with it. With Sora, Kirby copies the move, but not the weapon and instead wields a rough imitation of it made of sparkles.
