Overview

Swords have been represented in games since the early days, and while they were initially only represented by a few pixels, they've evolved in complexity and importance as games have evolved. They have been included as central plot devices, incredible game-altering weapons, and even sentient beings. Swords have been depicted in a number of different ways, flaunting different abilities and allowing the player to use or attack with them in different ways; some swords slice, while others merely bash. Some swords are imbued with magic which can then be let loose at distant enemies, and some are combinations of swords and guns, which is, of course, completely crazy.

Famous Game Swords

Many swords, especially impressive or important ones, become iconic of specific franchises and can reach legendary status among certain communities of players.

The Master Sword

Possibly one of the most famous weapons of all time, the Master Sword has become an important and expected plot device of the Legend of Zelda franchise. Forged with the power of ancient magic, the sword is known as "The Blade of Evil's Bane", and can actively repel evil forces. Its abilities have changed over the course of the Zelda series, ranging from it being able to launch magical energy at a distance and deflecting enemy attacks to simply being a powerful melee weapon. Whatever its powers, the Master Sword is almost always the ultimate weapon the player uses to slay the Hyrulian agents of evil.
