[[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.

[[File:Ganondorf Trophy 2 (Smash).png|thumb|150px|{{SSBM|Ganondorf}}'s SpaceWorld 2000 sword in ''Melee''.]]
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|150px|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 stabbed into him 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.

==Falchion==
==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 (or artifact, rather, as it's not intended to be used as an actual shield) is the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem|Archanean item}} or the Binding Shield; they were both created together by the Divine Dragon {{s|fireemblemwiki|Naga}} from her fangs. However, they do not have to be used together, as Marth's ancestor {{s|fireemblemwiki|Anri}} uses Falchion alone. Marth wields the two weapons together in the ''Fire Emblem'' games.

However, they do not have to be used together, as Marth's ancestor {{s|fireemblemwiki|Anri}} uses Falchion alone. Falchion as appears in later games with significantly different designs.


The sword reappears in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' many centuries later, in the hands of the Ylissean royal family. [[Chrom]], as Marth's descendant, inherited the sword (which has a significantly different design in said game). [[Lucina]] carries the same weapon from her future timeline, known as the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Parallel Falchion}} due to an incomplete ritual being used to awaken it.
===Exalted Falchion===
[[File:Marth SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Marth}} wielding Exalted Falchion in ''Ultimate''.]]
The version of Falchion that Marth wields is known as Exalted Falchion, its form when fully awakened with the power of the Fire Emblem. Its design is taken from ''Mystery of the Emblem''; this design is also used as the ''Fire Emblem'' [[series symbol]]. Exalted Falchion has a stronger [[sweetspot]] at the tip of its blade, which has been a consistent attribute in every ''Smash Bros.'' game he has appeared in.


In ''Smash'', Falchion appears as the titular weapon of several characters. Marth wields Falchion in all of his appearances, based on its design in ''Mystery of the Emblem''; this design is also used as the ''Fire Emblem'' [[series symbol]]. Marth's Falchion has a stronger [[sweetspot]] at the tip of its blade, which has been a consistent attribute in every ''Smash Bros.'' game he has appeared in.

The ''Awakening'' design of the weapon is used by Chrom in his role as part of {{SSBU|Robin}}'s [[Pair Up]] [[Final Smash]], by {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}s wearing the Chrom [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Wave 3|costume]], and by Chrom himself in his playable appearance in ''Ultimate''. Lucina uses the Parallel Falchion as her weapon of choice. Chrom's Falchion and and Lucina's Parallel Falchion lack the tipper sweetspot of Marth's Falchion and instead have an overall consistent damage output throughout their blades.

The {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Binding Blade|weapon}}, also translated as the Sword of Seals ({{ja|封印の剣|Fūin no Tsurugi}}), 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|Idenn}} 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" sweetspot at the base of its blade in every appearance, necessitating him to fight much closer to his opponents.

{{s|fireemblemwiki|Ragnell}} is a two-handed regalia sword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. In ''Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance'' and ''Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn'', Ragnell is a holy blade blessed by the Goddess {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ashera}} and wielded by [[Ike]], along with its partner, Alondite, which is wielded by the [[Black Knight]]. Ragnell and Alondite clash against each other, along with their respective wielders, in their rivalry throughout both games set on {{s|fireemblemwiki|Tellius}}. Both swords are the most powerful in the game and have ranged attacks. In the ancient past of Tellius, Ragnell and Alondite were the twin blades of the Beorc warrior woman, Altina.

[[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'', {{SSB4|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.

In ''Smash'', {{SSB4|Robin}} will use a Bronze Sword for any sword-based moves that do not use a Levin Sword. This includes Robin's jab, tilts, dash attack, neutral aerial, and any aerials performed normally. Robin also uses a Bronze Sword for smash attacks should the Levin Sword normally used for such attacks be broken and not have respawned yet. 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''.

==Monado==
==Monado==
The Monado is a mythical weapon from the {{uv|Xenoblade}} 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; [[Dunban]] is the only one that can successfully control its power, and even then, he eventually loses the use of his right arm due to it. When the Mechon later attack Colony 9, Dunban can no longer use it despite trying, and Shulk ends up taking it instead - finding that he can use 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 quick visions 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.

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'', {{SSB4|Shulk}} wields the initial form of the Monado as his primary weapon, and utilizes its [[Monado Arts]]. Due to its beam nature, the Monado grants Shulk excellent disjointed range, and makes him the fighter with the longest disjointed weapon in the ''Smash Bros.'' series. The premonitions are also used as his [[Vision|down special]] as a type of counter move.

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 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'' generally due to its massive size. 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, or where Cloud clips the sword onto his back.
