Swords are one of the main weapons of The Legend of Zelda games. It is Link's main offensive weapon in the main series, the Super Smash Bros. series, and the GameCube version of Soulcalibur II. There are several enemies with a specific variant that carries a sword around, such as Sword Moblins. Characters with a sword are usually also equipped with a shield as their defensive weapon. In many games, Link starts out with a weak sword but acquires a more powerful one later on, usually the Master Sword. In The Legend of Zelda, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Link begins his journey with a generic sword.
Link's dexterity is often determined by which hand he holds the sword in. Link holds the sword in his left hand in most games except the Wii release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, the Master Quest of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, the Hero Mode of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
