Swords are recurring weapons in the Legend of Zelda series. A sword serves as Link's primary weapon in all Zelda titles. Most swords can be carried in one hand, along with a shield in the other. Some swords, however, require both hands to be used. In virtually every game in the series, Link holds a sword in his left hand; the only exceptions are the Wii version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, as these games utilize motion control and therefore must accommodate for the fact that most people are right-handed. Additionally, Link appears right-handed in the Master Quest mode of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, as left and right are inverted in this mode.

The Legend of Zelda
The first sword in the game that Link can obtain is the Wooden Sword. It is given to him by the Old Man in a cave on the first screen of the game. Link can later obtain two more swords after he has gained a sufficient amount of Heart Containers, the White Sword from a cave above the Waterfall and the Magical Sword found in the Graveyard. When Link's hearts are full he can shoot Sword Beams from his sword. Regardless of what sword Link has equipped they will always be as powerful as the Wooden Sword.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
Link begins this game with the Magical Sword. By defeating enemies or obtaining P Bags he can level up to increase his sword's strength. Like in previous game he can shoot Sword Beams when his health bar is full. Link can also enchant his sword with the Fire Spell in order to make it shoot fire. Link can stab both while standing and crouching. Additionally he can learn two more techniques from Hylian Knights found throughout Hyrule, the Downthrust and Jump Thrust which allow his to attack upwards or downwards while jumping.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Link receives the Fighter's Sword near the start of the game and later obtains the legendary Master Sword after collecting the three Pendants of Virtue. Link can additionally upgrade the Master Sword into the Tempered Sword by taking it to the Dwarven Swordsmiths and later the Golden Sword by taking it to Great Fairy trapped inside the Pyramid. Like in previous games Link can shoot sword beams when is health is full but only with the Master Sword and its upgrades.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Link loses his sword in the Storm at the start of the game meaning he must search for it on Toronbo Shores. Later in the game he can obtain the superior Ultimate Sword in Seashell Mansion after collecting enough Secret Seashells. The Ultimate Sword can break pots and shoot Sword Beams when Link's health is full.

Link can sometimes find Razor Seeds after defeating enemies which can temporarily increase the damage dealt by his sword and send enemies flying. In the Game Boy Color remake Link can obtain the Red Clothes which permanently increases his attack power.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Link obtains the Kokiri Sword from the Forest Training Center and must use it while he is a child. As an adult he obtains the Master Sword. He can also obtain the Giant's Knife and Biggoron's Sword which are the first one handed swords in the series. Ocarina of Time is the first game in the series that allows Link to equip different swords from the selection screen.

Link can also obtain the Broken Goron's Sword from Mutoh during the Quest for the Biggoron's Sword though he is unable to use it until it is repaired by Biggoron.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Link begins the game with the Kokiri Sword. He can upgrade it to the Razor Sword by bringing it to Zubora and Gabora which deals more damage but loses it's edge and reverts to the Kokiri Sword after being used one hundred times or after Link plays the Song of Time. The Razor Sword can also be upgraded to the Gilded Sword by using Gold Dust which is stronger and never loses its edge.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
The most famous blade in the series is the legendary Master Sword. Most of the time, Link starts out with a relatively weak sword such as the Wooden Sword or the Kokiri Sword, and acquires a more powerful one such as the Magical Sword or the Master Sword as the game progresses. Many Zelda games contain three or more different swords, some of which are not required to complete the game, but can be obtained by completing various side quests — for example, the Magical Sword and the Biggoron's Sword. In other instances, specific swords, often the Master Sword, are needed to overcome certain obstacles, and to complete the game.
