Fighter's Sword
Link's Uncle will give this sword to Link early in the game (together with the Fighter's Shield) as he enters Hyrule Castle, and teaches Link the Spin Attack. He will use this blade during the game until he can find the Master Sword.
Master Sword
- Main article: Master Sword
Once Link has found all three Pendants of Virtue, he may enter the Lost Woods and retrieve the Master Sword from its pedestal. The Master Sword is required to advance in the game because the Fighter's Sword is incapable of breaking the magic barrier Agahnim has placed across Hyrule Castle's entrance. In addition to being stronger than the Fighter's Sword, the Master Sword can also fire a Sword Beam when Link is at full health. The Sword Beam does as much damage as the Fighter's Sword.
Tempered Sword
The Tempered Sword is the third sword level. It is acquired when the missing Dwarven Smith is reunited with his partner. At this point, the pair will temper the Master Sword for Link for the tiny sum of 10 rupees in thanks. The tempering is an upgrade that makes the sword much stronger, gives it a reddish-orange glow, and causes it to make a deeper swing sound as opposed to the usual slash sound. It has double the strength of the original Master Sword, but the Sword Beam still has the same power of the first one.
Golden Sword
When Link throws the Master Sword or Tempered Sword into the Mysterious Pond of the Dark World within the Pyramid of Power, she transforms it into the Golden Sword, which has a golden blade and green hilt, and is four times stronger than the Master Sword. In addition, it has the ability to break jars (or skulls in the Dark World).
