[[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.

{{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.

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. 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]].

In ''Smash'', Yato is Corrin's main weapon, appearing in its ultimate form known as Omega Yato. 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 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 with the crest of flames and usually requires the corresponding crest stone yet Byleth wields it seemingly without. Later it is learned that sword was made from the remains of the progenitor god and that the crest stone is her heart which Rhea placed within Byleth.  

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; 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 attack 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.

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'' 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''{{'}}s box art), or where Cloud clips the sword onto his back.

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 Supreme Sword of Light), while Erdrick uses the classical design (known as the Sword of Kings or Erdrick's Sword) . Mii Swordfighters can also use the classical design if using the Erdrick Equipment. Kirby can wield the ''Dragon Quest XI'' design if a Hero's [[Frizz]] is copied, though he does not fight with it.
