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.

;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==

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.

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'', 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 can also carry Galaxia if he copies Meta Knight's [[Mach Tornado]], though he does not fight with it.

{{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/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 ''Smash Bros.'', 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 Marth, 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 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. 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}} (also translated as the Sword of Seals in earlier ''Smash Bros.'' games), 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 as Marth's Falchion, Roy's Binding Blade has consistently featured a "reverse" sweet spot at the base of its blade in every appearance, necessitating him to fight much closer to his opponents. It also is capable of having [[flame]] properties in some of its attacks. Starting from ''SSB4'', Roy also wields it in reverse grip. 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]] 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. 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]].

{{s|fireemblemwiki|Yato}} 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, appearing in its ultimate form known as Omega Yato, the "Fire Emblem" of its continuity. This form is exclusively available in the third plot 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}} 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.  

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 [[up special]]. The sword is sometimes used in its whip form while other times is used in its sword form.

The 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. 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.

==Cloud's Swords==

[[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 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'', Cloud wields the Buster Sword as his primary means of attack. When using Cloud's 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. Though, as of ''Ultimate'' update 10.1.0, it will aesthetically split into its seven blades for his unique Final Smash, [[Omnislash|Omnislash Ver. 5]]. Kirby can also wield the Buster Sword if he copies [[Blade Beam]] from Cloud, though he cannot wield the Fusion Sword, regardless of Cloud's costume.

[[File:Sephiroth SSBU.png|thumb|150px|right|{{SSBU|Sephiroth}} wielding the Masamune in ''Ultimate''.]]

The [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Masamune_(Final_Fantasy_VII) Masamune] is a longblade 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 has been shortened for the purpose of gameplay balance, but it is still among the longest-reaching weapons in the series as well as the longest sword in the entire series.

==Hero's Swords==

===Sword of Light===

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. 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 its appearance is slightly different between the two. Luminary uses a version from ''Dragon Quest XI'' (known as the [[dragonquestwiki:Erdwin Equipment#Supreme Sword of Light|Supreme Sword of Light]]), while Erdrick uses the classical design (known as the [[dragonquestwiki:Erdrick Equipment#Sword of Kings|Sword of Kings]] or [[dragonquestwiki:Erdrick Equipment#Erdrick's sword|Erdrick's Sword]]). Mii Swordfighters can also use the classical design if using the Erdrick Equipment. Kirby can wield the Supreme Sword of Light if Hero's [[Frizz]] is copied, though he does not fight with it.

The [[dragonquestwiki:Zenithian Equipment#Zenithian Sword (てんくうのつるぎ)|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, and appears in ''Dragon Quest VI'' under the name "Sword of Ramias".

The [[dragonquestwiki:Dragovian Equipment#Dragovian sword|Dragovian King Sword]] is a sword that appears in ''Dragon Quest VIII'', being wielded by the Hero as their most powerful weapon.

==Steve's Swords==

The [https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Sword Sword] is a melee weapon from {{uv|Minecraft}}. 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 either two units of wooden planks, cobblestone, iron ingots, gold ingots, diamonds, or netherite ingots (the latter requiring a diamond sword to be upgraded into netherite by using a Smithing Table) respectively as well as a single stick. Swords can also be obtained by defeating specific mobs, trading with villagers, and from naturally spawning chests.

In ''Smash'', {{SSBU|Steve}} uses swords in his jab, forward tilt, neutral aerial, forward smash, edge attack, and floor attack. He's initially armed with a wooden sword, but he's able to [[Craft]] new swords using a Crafting Table. After a while of use, swords will break.

Mii Swordfighters can also wield the Diamond Sword by using the Diamond Armor.

*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.
