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.

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, and its appearance varies by game. In ''SSB'' and ''Melee'', it is based on its appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''; ''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.

''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.

[[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]].

In ''Smash'', Ganondorf shows off the Sword of the Six Sages in his down [[taunt]] in both ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4''. He would first use it to attack as part of the [[Warlock Blade]] custom move in ''SSB4''. The sword did not appear in ''Melee'' or ''Ultimate'', which use Ganondorf's ''Ocarina of Time'' design, and his sword from the SpaceWorld 2000 ''The Legend of Zelda'' tech demo.

{{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.

==Greninja's water katana/kunai==
[[File:GreninjaUpSmashSSBU.jpg|thumb|200px|{{SSBU|Greninja}} using a kunai made of water in ''Ultimate''.]]
[[Greninja]] uses a blade of water for its smash attacks and forward air. It was originally a water {{s|wikipedia|katana}} in ''Smash 4'', but was changed to a {{s|wikipedia|kunai}} in ''Ultimate'', which is similar to when {{s|bulbapedia|Ash's Greninja}} uses {{iw|bulbapedia|Cut|move}} in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon the Series}}''.
Although an original concept in ''Smash'', several Greninja in the film ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Detective Pikachu}}'' would use water swords, similar to the Greninja in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''. It also has been referenced in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon UNITE}}''.

==Falchion==
==Falchion==
{{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.

Line 101: Line 86:
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]].

[[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]].

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|fireemblem|Sword of the Creator}}, also simply called the Creator Sword, is one of the [[fireemblemwiki:Regalia#In Fódlan|Relics]] from ''Fire Emblem: Three Houses'', and Byleth's signature weapon, crafted from the heart and bones of the progenitor goddess [[Sothis]] and previously wielded by the bandit king {{s|fireemblem|Nemesis}}. It has the ability to extend and retract like a whip to attack opponents at range.  
The {{s|fireemblem|Sword of the Creator}} is one of the [[fireemblemwiki:Regalia#In Fódlan|Relics]] from ''Fire Emblem: Three Houses'', and Byleth's signature weapon, crafted from the bones of [[Sothis]] and once wielded by the bandit king {{s|fireemblem|Nemesis}}. It has the ability to extend and retract like a whip to attack opponents at range. The sword can only be wielded by those who bear the {{s|fireemblem|Crest of Flames}}, the "Fire Emblem" of this continuity. The Relics usually require the corresponding crest stone to be used without harm, yet Byleth seemingly wields it without one. It is later revealed that the sword was made from the remains of the progenitor god and that the crest stone is her heart which Rhea placed within Byleth.  
 
The sword used to only be used at its fullest potential by those who bear the {{s|fireemblem|Crest of Flames}}, the "Fire Emblem" of this continuity but by the time Byleth acquired the sword at the Holy Mausoleum, only they can wield it despite Edelgard also having the Crest of Flames. The Relics usually require the corresponding crest stone to be used without harm, yet Byleth seemingly wields it without one. It is later revealed that the sword was made from the remains of the progenitor god and that the crest stone is her heart which Rhea placed within Byleth.  


In ''Smash'', the sword is used for most of Byleth's ground attacks, as well as upward-inputted moves such as up smash, up air, and [[Sword of the Creator|up special]]. The sword is sometimes used in its whip form while other times is used in its sword form.

[[File:Shulk SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Shulk}} wielding the Monado in ''Ultimate''.]]
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.

[[File:Cloud SSBU.png|thumb|150px|right|{{SSBU|Cloud}} wielding the Buster Sword in ''Ultimate''.]]
The {{iw|xenoserieswiki|Aegis Sword}} is a weapon type exclusive to [[Pyra]] and [[Mythra]] in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'', being wielded by their Driver [[Rex]] (and by Mythra herself in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country''). Pyra's Aegis Sword is an energy blade with a red single-edged triangular shell similar in appearance to the Monado, but with several small beams emitted from its side. With it, Rex's attacks and Pyra's Blade Specials specialize in the Fire element. Mythra's Aegis Sword has a white double-edged triangular shell and its smaller beams form a crossguard. With it, Rex's attacks and Mythra's Blade Specials in ''XC2''—along with Mythra's attacks, Vanguard/Rear Guard Arts, and Specials in ''Torna ~ The Golden Country''—specialize in the Light element.
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 and starting 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'' 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 the ''FF7 Remake''), or where Cloud clips the sword onto his back.
 
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.

Kirby can also wield the Buster Sword if he copies [[Blade Beam]] from Cloud.

[[File:Cloud-Alt1 SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Cloud}} carrying the combined Fusion Sword in ''Ultimate'' as part of his ''Advent Children'' costume.]]
The [http://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Fusion_Sword Fusion Sword] is a six-piece sword assembly wielded by Cloud Strife. Cloud uses the base sword and the others in its set as his preferred weapon in ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', the sequel film to ''Final Fantasy VII''. It is composed of six swords that assemble into a single large sword with a shape identical to the Buster Sword.


In ''Smash'', when Cloud uses his costume based on ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', the Buster Sword is replaced with the combined Fusion Sword to match, with no difference in function barring one exception: as of ''Ultimate'' update 10.1.0, it will split into its six component blades for his unique Final Smash in that costume, [[Omnislash|Omnislash Ver. 5]]. This is primarily a cosmetic change, with the resulting total damage and knockback being the same as the normal version. Kirby cannot copy the Fusion Sword, regardless of Cloud's costume.
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.

The [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Masamune_(Final_Fantasy_VII) Masamune] is a longblade belonging to the antagonist of ''Final Fantasy VII'', [[Sephiroth]].
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).

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.
The [[dragonquestwiki:Erdwin Equipment#Sword of Light|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.

The sword has since been wielded by multiple heroes across the series, including the Luminary from ''Dragon Quest XI''.

There are multiple variants of swords, including wooden, stone, iron, golden, diamond, and netherite (which is not present in ''Ultimate''), all varying in strength and durability. They are crafted with a single stick and two units of either wooden planks, cobblestone, iron ingots, gold ingots or diamonds respectively, with netherite swords requiring a diamond sword to be upgraded with a netherite ingot by using a smithing table. Swords can also be obtained by defeating specific mobs, trading with villagers, and from naturally spawning chests.

==Kingdom Key==
[[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.
 
In the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, the first Keyblades were originally created by the {{iw|khwiki|Master of Masters}} by extracting them from the {{iw|khwiki|hearts}} of people using the {{iw|khwiki|χ-blade}} (pronounced the same as Keyblade), a legendary Keyblade meant to unlock the true {{iw|khwiki|Kingdom Hearts}}. However, various factions grew surrounding the myths of the χ-blade and Kingdom Hearts, resulting in the first {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade War}}, and the aftermath left resulted in the {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade Graveyard}} as it is known in legends. A multitude of Keyblades exist with different attributes, strengths and weaknesses. A single wielder is capable of using multiple Keyblades, with particularly powerful wielders being able to wield several simultaneously.
 
A process known as {{iw|khwiki|bequeathing}} allows [[khwiki:List of Keyblade wielders|Keyblade Wielders]] to hand their Keyblade to others as a test of worthiness for that particular individual. The Kingdom Key was originally {{iw|khwiki|Riku}}'s main Keyblade, but in the process of Riku falling into the darkness, the Kingdom Key chose Sora as its new user.
 
When Kirby copies Sora's [[Magic]], he does not directly wield the Keyblade and instead wields a rough imitation of the weapon made of sparkles, presumably due to the complicated requirements to properly become a Keyblade wielder.

*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.

*Although Exalted Falchion does not have the appearance of a real-life {{s|wikipedia|falchion}}, its tipper mechanic is similar to cleaver falchions, which are blade-heavy and thus strongest at the tip.

*Close examination of textures for the Binding Blade in ''Melee'' shows that the text "©HAL LABRATORY.INC"{{sic}}, a misspelled version of [[HAL Laboratory]] Inc, is included in the file. It is not known why the signature is there.

*The Sablé Prince's sword is fully modeled and textured in ''SSB4'' despite never being removed from his sheath and thus not normally visible to the player. Looking at the design of the sword in the game's data reveals that it accurately matches the design seen in concept art for ''Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru''.
