''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.'' | |||

{{ | {{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 {{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. | The {{s|xenoserieswiki|Monado}} is a mythical weapon from the {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}} universe.

Pyra's sword generates [[flame]] effects for certain attacks, but as ''Smash'' lacks a true "Light" element, Mythra's Aegis instead uses the [[slash]] effect for its direct attacks, and the {{b|magic|effect}} effect for its light-based moves. The energy blade of Pyra's Aegis Sword has significantly greater length than Mythra's, despite the two having identical length in their home game. During various animations, Pyra and Mythra's Aegis Swords levitate freely near their bodies. Additionally, during Pyra and Mythra's respective [[Final Smashes]] ([[Burning Sword]] and [[Sacred Arrow]]), the Aegis 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 Aegis 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 Fighter costume. The Pneuma spirit also depicts herself with the third Aegis Sword. | ||

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

{{iw|khwiki|Keyblade}} | The {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade}} is 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. Additionally, unlike with other moves Kirby copies, he does not wield an exact copy of the weapon, instead wielding a rough imitation made of sparkles. | ||
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. | In the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, Keyblades are key-shaped swords with the ability to lock and unlock anything through magic and vanquish darkness.
