[[File:Swords Subspace Emissary.png|thumb|200px|Many playable characters in ''Smash'' wield swords as their primary weapons.]]
The following is a list of all '''swords''' used by playable characters as weapons in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

==Master Sword==
[[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, 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.

In ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]], five pedestals with a Master Sword appear in the [[Underground Maze]], indicating a fight against {{SSBM|Link}}. In ''Ultimate''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the Master Sword appears in the [[Sacred Land]] sub-world. 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==
===SpaceWorld 2000 sword===
[[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.

===Sword of the Six Sages===
[[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.

==Kokiri Sword==
[[File:Young Link SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Young Link}} wielding the Kokiri Sword in ''Ultimate''.]]
The {{s|zeldawiki|Kokiri Sword}} is a short sword from {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} universe. It is [[Young Link]]'s starting weapon in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', where it was retrieved from a treasure chest in {{s|zeldawiki|Kokiri Forest}} on Link's way to see the {{s|zeldawiki|Great Deku Tree}} at the beginning of the game. It also appears in ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'', slightly redesigned.

In ''Smash'', Young Link wields the ''Ocarina of Time'' version of the sword.

==Galaxia==
[[File:Meta Knight SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Meta Knight}} carrying Galaxia in ''Ultimate''.]]
{{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 can also carry Galaxia if he copies Meta Knight's [[Mach Tornado]], though he does not fight with it.

==Falchion==
{{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.

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

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

===Parallel Falchion===
[[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]].

==Binding Blade==
[[File:Roy SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Roy}} wielding the Binding Blade in ''Ultimate''.]]
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 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]].

==Ragnell==
[[File:Ike SSBU.png|thumb|150px|The ''Path of Radiance'' version of {{SSBU|Ike}} wielding Ragnell in ''Ultimate''.]]
{{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]].

==Robin's Swords==
===Levin Sword===
[[File:Robin SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Male and female {{SSB4|Robin}} carrying Levin Swords in ''SSB4''.]]
A {{s|fireemblemwiki|Levin Sword}} is a {{s|fireemblemwiki|magic sword}} from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. Debuting in ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]'', Levin Swords are used to cast {{iw|fireemblemwiki|thunder|magic}} magic, and have appeared in many games of the series with varying designs. In the ''Fire Emblem'' series, the Levin Sword can be used to attack from afar, but this is not present in ''SSB4''. Additionally, the Levin Sword in ''SSB4'' is considerably shorter compared to its appearance in ''Fire Emblem Awakening''.

In ''Smash'', [[Robin]] uses a ''Fire Emblem Awakening''-style Levin Sword for [[smash attack]]s and smash attack-like [[aerial attack]]s. Following its original elemental traits, the Levin Sword deals [[electric]] damage. After a certain number of uses, Levin Swords will break, referencing the ''Fire Emblem'' {{s|fireemblemwiki|durability}} system. A broken Levin Sword will be dropped and shatter after a few seconds, but Robin or any other fighter can pick it up and use it as a basic throwing [[item]] before it disappears. Once broken, the sword respawns after about 6 seconds. In ''Ultimate'', using the Levin Sword will display its current durability above Robin's [[damage meter]].

===Bronze Sword===
[[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.

In ''Smash'', {{SSB4|Robin}} uses a Bronze Sword for any sword-based moves that do not use the Levin Sword. This includes their jab, tilts, dash attack, neutral aerial, and any aerials performed normally. Robin also uses a Bronze Sword for smash attacks if the Levin Sword is unavailable. Despite being breakable in ''Awakening'', Bronze Swords are unbreakable in ''Smash''. Like the Levin Sword in ''SSB4'', the Bronze Sword is considerably shorter compared to its appearance in ''Fire Emblem Awakening''.
{{clr}}

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

==Sword of the Creator==
[[File:Byleth SSBU.png|thumb|150px|Male {{SSBU|Byleth}} wielding the Sword of the Creator in ''Ultimate''.]]
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.

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

A stylized depiction of the Monado is also used as the ''Xenoblade'' [[series symbol]], matching how it was stylized on the loading screens of ''Xenoblade Chronicles''.

==Aegis Sword==
[[File:Pyra & Mythra SSBU.png|150px|thumb|{{SSBU|Pyra}} and {{SSBU|Mythra}} wielding their Aegis Sword in ''Ultimate'']]
The Aegis Sword is a weapon type exclusive to [[Pyra]] and [[Mythra]] in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'', being wielded by their driver [[Rex]]. Pyra's Aegis Sword is an energy blade with a red triangular shell similar in appearance to the Monado, but with several small beams emitted from its side. With it, Rex's attacks and her Blade Arts specialize in the Fire element. Mythra's sword has a white shell and its smaller beams form a crossguard. With it, Rex's attacks and her Blade Arts specialize in the Light element.

In ''Smash'', Pyra and Mythra wield their respective Aegis Swords rather than Rex. Pyra's Aegis Sword is also part of Rex's Mii Fighter costume.

==Cloud's Swords==
===Buster 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 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 ''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.

===Fusion Sword===
[[File:Cloud-Alt1 SSBU.png|thumb|150px|right|{{SSBU|Cloud}} carrying the combined Fusion Sword in ''Ultimate'' as part of his ''Advent Children'' costume.]]
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. As of ''Ultimate'' update 10.1.0, it will split into its seven blades for his unique Final Smash, [[Omnislash|Omnislash Ver. 5]] (though again, it is functionally identical). Kirby cannot copy the Fusion Sword, regardless of Cloud's costume.

==Masamune==
{{redirect|Masamune|the Smasher|Smasher:Masamune}}
[[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 appears to have been slightly shortened for the purpose of gameplay balance, but 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==
===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.

===Zenithian Sword===
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".

In ''Smash'', Solo uses the sword as his primary weapon.

==Steve's Swords==
[[File:SSBUWebsiteSteve6.jpg|thumb|200px|{{SSBU|Steve}} and Alex wielding a diamond sword and iron sword respectively in ''Ultimate''.]]
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.

==Other swords==
The following other swords appear in notable gameplay roles:
[[File:Ssbmkirby4.jpg|thumb|150px|[[Final Cutter]] in ''Melee''.]]
[[File:MegaManFlameSword.png|thumb|180px|{{SSB4|Mega Man}}'s Flame Sword forward aerial in ''SSB4''.]]
*The [[Ultra Sword]], used by [[Kirby]] in his Final Smash.
*Kirby's [[Final Cutter]].
*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. 
*Flame Sword, Sword Man's weapon from ''Mega Man 8'', which is used in [[Mega Man]]'s [[forward aerial]].
*[[Greninja]]'s ''Smash''-original water-based katanas (in ''SSB4'') or {{s|wikipedia|kunai}} (in ''Ultimate''), used for its [[smash attack]]s, forward aerial, and Final Smash.
*[[Pit]]'s {{s|icaruspedia|Palutena Bow}} and [[Dark Pit]]'s {{s|icaruspedia|Silver Bow}}, both of which can split into bladed weapons. Both can be used by Kirby if he copies their neutral specials, though he only uses it as a bow.
*A Phantom's sword, used by the Phantom summoned by [[Zelda]]'s [[Phantom Slash]].
*{{SSBU|Sheik}}'s dagger, used in her Final Smash, [[Sheikah Dance]].
*{{SSBU|Joker}}'s dagger, used in his standard attacks.
*[[Ganon, The Demon King]]'s twin greatswords.
*The [[Beam Sword]] and [[Killing Edge]] items.
*The sword [[equipment]] type.
*[[Assist Trophy]] characters who attack with swords or similar weapons (named weapons in parentheses): [[Alucard]] (Crissaegrim), [[Black Knight]] (Alondite), [[Ghirahim]], [[Gray Fox]], [[Kat & Ana]], [[Lyn]] (Manni Katti), [[Magnus]], [[Saki Amamiya]] (Dolphin Gun), [[Samurai Goroh]], [[Takamaru]], {{b|Zero|Mega Man}} (Z-Saber).
*Assist Trophy characters who carry swords but do not attack with them: [[Isaac]], [[Sablé Prince]].
*Boss characters who attack with swords: the blue side of [[Duon]], [[Master Core#Master Edges|Master Edges]], [[Ganon]].
*Common enemy characters who attack with swords: [[Sword Primid]], [[Armight]], [[Darknut]], [[Stalfos]].
*The two swords in the Ironworks Chamber of [[Kalos Pokémon League]], and the Sword Pokémon {{s|bulbapedia|Honedge}} that appears in the background and as a [[trophy]].

==Trivia==
*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] is included in the file. It is not known why the signature is there.
*The ''Fire Emblem'', ''Final Fantasy'', and ''Xenoblade'' series are the only universes with multiple characters to have all of its characters use swords.
*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''.
