List of fictional swords

This article is a list of fictional swords in various pieces of literature, film and television. For swords originating in mythology and legend, see List of mythological swords. Swords that originate in epic poems, tales and chronicles that were taken at one time as a "true" accounting of history rather than being composed as works of fiction, such as Beowulf, The Tale of the Heike and the Kojiki of similar are not listed here, regardless of whether the swords themselves are believed by contemporary scholars to have existed historically.

Christopher Paolini: The Inheritance Cycle

• Brisingr: Eragon's Dragon Rider's sword, it was crafted specifically for him by the elf Rhunön. It is a hand and a half sword with a blade that is slightly longer than normal. The glyph for "fire" is engraved upon both the blade and the scabbard. However, whereas Zar'roc is crimson in appearance, Brisingr is blue, with its blade, guard, hilt and scabbard each being a different hue. A sapphire rests in the pommel surrounded by four ribs which give the impression of the claws of a dragon clutching it. Whenever Eragon uttered its name the blade would become engulfed in blue flames. It is capable of cutting through magical wards.
• Zar'roc: The sword of Dragon Rider Morzan. After his death, Brom kept it for safekeeping before eventually giving it to Eragon. At the Second Battle of the Burning Plains, Murtagh takes it from Eragon, claiming it as his own. It is a crimson sword; its scabbard is the color of wine, its blade the color of blood, with a ruby the size of an egg resting in the pommel.
• Albitr: The sword of Angela, the herbalist, which she nicknamed "Tinkledeath" for the sound which it made. It is described as "the ultimate embodiment of an incline plane" and its blade was made of an undisclosed transparent substance. Angela claimed that it was the sharpest sword in the world and it was able to easily cut through four inches of solid granite. Its scabbard was made of an unknown material which not even the sword could cut through.
• Arvindr: The sword of a deceased dragon rider of unknown origin. It was considered as a possible replacement weapon for Eragon before Brisingr was forged. However, it lay in the city of Nädindel, which would have taken too long to travel to.
• Naegling: Oromis' gold-bronze sword. During their time in Du Weldenvarden, he and his dragon Glaedr stored vast amounts of energy into the sword's gem, a yellow diamond. Several elves also contributed energy to the point where there was said to be enough raw power contained within the sword to shift an entire mountain. Oromis used the sword in his duel with Eragon. He later lost it during his battle with Murtagh who placed magical wards around it, which prevented Oromis from retrieving it, leading to his death.
• Támerlein: A two-handed sword designed primarily for slashing and cutting. Its pommel contained an emerald and the inscription, "I am Támerlein, bringer of the final sleep" was engraven upon its green blade. It originally belonged to the Elven Dragon Rider Arva. He gave it to his sister, Naudra, to defend herself when Galbatorix and the Forsworn attacked their homeland. When Eragon found himself in need of a new Rider's sword he sought permission to use the blade as his own. However, he ultimately rejected it and it was eventually, the sword was reworked for Arya, the Queen of the Elves, to use.
• Undbitr: The Rider's sword of Brom. It was aquamarine in color and was lost during The Fall of the Dragon Riders.
• Vrangr: Originally wielded by Vrael and called Islingr, or "light bringer". Vrael was the last leader of the Dragon Riders before they fell. After Galbatorix killed him he claimed it for his own and gave the sword its new name, which translated to "Awry" in the ancient language. The blade, guard and hilt are pure white, resembling the color "of a sun-bleached bone". An unspecified gem as clear as a mountain spring rests in the pommel.

J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter

• The Sword of Gryffindor: The Sword of Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts. It can only be wielded by a "true Gryffindor". In the last book, it is revealed that it is goblin-made, and therefore, the goblins claim ownership of it. However, when a true Gryffindor arises, the sword comes out of the Sorting Hat.

It is first pulled out by Harry Potter in Chamber of Secrets. It appears again and is drawn out of the Sorting Hat by Neville Longbottom in Deathly Hallows and used to kill the last Horcrux - Nagini the snake. The sword absorbs any substance that will strengthen it; for example, if immersed in poison, it gains the ability to poison its target. It also rejects any substance that would damage or tarnish it.[1]

Brandon Sanderson: Cosmere

• Shardblades: Featured in The Stormlight Archive, shardblades are usually two handed swords capable of cutting through any nonliving material. Living beings that are struck by shardblades are not cut, but the wound causes an injury to the soul instead. Wounds from shardblades cause the affected area to go limp and become useless. Shardblades can be summoned by a wielder who has bonded one. Some characters are able to summon shardblades through a connection with supernatural creatures known as spren. A prominent shardblade, Oathbringer, is the namesake of the third book in the Stormlight Archive, which partially explores the sword's history with several of the main characters.
• Honorblades: The oldest known shardblades, given to a group of immortal beings known as Heralds by their namesake god and creator, Honor. Unlike typical shardblades, Honorblades grant their wielders the supernatural abilities of one of the orders of the Knights Radiant. The powers vary depending on the Honorblade that is used.
• Nightblood: First featured in Warbreaker, Nightblood is a sentient sword that can communicate with its wielder. Drawing Nightblood usually causes those in the sword's vicinity to try and kill each other to claim the sword for themselves. Nightblood, when used, is capable of destroying almost any known foe or object, but its power consumes the essence or soul of the wielder, making its use incredibly dangerous. Nightblood itself has a somewhat innocent, almost childlike personality, appropriately unaware of many things about the world around it. Nightblood is bound by a single command: "Destroy evil," which because of its limited understanding of concepts of morality, causes some confusion when used in battle.
• Koloss blades: Featured in the first trilogy of Mistborn books, these massive swords are used by ogre-like monsters known as koloss. The blades are too massive for any normal human to wield (Though some magic users can increase their strength and do so). The number of swords that a koloss band has influences that band's hierarchy. Due to the brutal lifestyle of the koloss and their generally low intelligence, the blades are not well maintained or even kept sharp, rendering many blunt, albeit still quite dangerous.

J. R. R. Tolkien: Middle-earth

• Glamdring: (Sindarin: foe-hammer) Nicknamed "Beater" by the Goblins. First owned and wielded by Turgon, king of Gondolin, it was later wielded by Gandalf the White.[1]
• Narsil: (Quenya: red fire-white brilliance; refers to the Sun and Moon as the great lights of the heavens) The sword of Elendil, broken when Elendil falls on it during his battle with Sauron. The hilt-shard is used to cut the One Ring from Sauron's hand by Isildur, Elendil's second son. The broken sword is an heirloom of the House of Elendil, and eventually comes into Aragorn's possession as the latest heir to the thrones of Arnor and Gondor. It is reforged and renamed Andúril (Quenya: West-brilliance, usually rendered as the Flame of the West), fulfilling the prophecy that it shall be forged anew when the One Ring is found again. Andúril serves as Aragorn's primary weapon and as a symbol of good to all who oppose Sauron. It is the literary opposite of the One Ring.[1]
• Orcrist: (Sindarin: orc/goblin-cleaver) Called "Biter" by the orcs; used by Thorin Oakenshield.
• Ringil: (Quenya: cold-star) The sword of Fingolfin, king of the Noldor elves; used during his duel with Morgoth, the Great Enemy.
• Sting: An Elven knife used as a sword by Bilbo, and later his nephew, Frodo.[1] Sting has the characteristic of glowing when orcs are near, thus serving as an alert to its wielder.
• Anglachel (Sindarin: iron-fire-star) and Anguirel (Sindarin: iron-eternal-star): Swords forged from meteoritic iron by Eöl, the dark elf. They could cleave all earth delved iron.
• Gurthang: (Sindarin: death-iron) The sword formerly known as Anglachel. So named by Túrin Turambar, who wielded the sword until his suicide upon Gurthang's point. The sword is notable for apparently being sentient; it appeared to mourn the death of its former owner, the elf Beleg Cúthalion, and it spoke in response to being hailed by Túrin just before his death. It was found to have broken under Túrin after his death and the shards were buried with him.
• Herugrim: (Rohirric: very fierce, savage) The sword of Théoden, king of Rohan.

Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda

• Master Sword: From "The Legend of Zelda", also referred to as "the Blade of Evil's Bane" and "the Sword that Seals the Darkness". It said that no one with an evil heart can even wield the blade. It also said that only a member or a descendant of the bloodline of the Knights of Hyrule can pull it from its pedestal. It is often wielded by the various incarnations of the hero, Link in order to defend Hyrule from Ganon and other evil forces. In some games, when at full power the blade shines with the power to repel evil and protects its wielder from certain types of harmful magic such as the Shadow Crystal from Twilight Princess. Before Skyward Sword, the sword's exact origins and when it was created where unclear leading to contradictory explanations for its existence. In Skyward Sword it is revealed that the Goddess Sword created by the Goddess Hylia to aid the chosen hero, containing the spirit of Fi, was later forged into the Master Sword through the efforts of the Link of Skyloft and was ultimately used to defeat the Demon King Demise, though it is implied that as a result Demise's hatred towards Link & Zelda would continue to be reincarnated in the form of the evil, Ganon. In Breath of the Wild, the sword becomes rusted and battle-worn during the Great Calamity while Link is fighting Guardians and is placed by Princess Zelda in its pedestal in Korok Forest where it is protected by the Great Deku Tree and the Korok forest spirits after Link is injured and placed in stasis. Zelda reveals the sword's spirit spoke to her and told her that her destiny is not finished, giving her the resolve to confront and seal herself with Calamity Ganon to keep him sealed while Link recovers. One hundred years later after Link awakens from stasis, he finds it in Korok Forest but learns that the sword will test him to see if he is worthy to wield it and will sap his health as he tries to remove it forcing Link to obtain enough heart containers to remove it. The Great Deku Tree confirms it is of divine origins indicating that he is aware of its true origins. It is stated in-game that the sword's spirit Fi is delighted to be in Link's possession echoing her words about hoping to met Link again from the end of Skyward Sword. However, Fi herself does not make a physical appearance and is never mentioned by name, though the game strongly implies her spirit is still present and conscious within the blade. The Master Sword cannot be dropped or removed from Link's inventory and has its own weapon inventory slot. The sword will be rendered temporarily unusable for a time if its power is used too much which is designed to fit with the breakable weapons mechanic of Breath of the Wild. When in the presence of corrupted Guardians or Ganon's incarnations it true power shines causing the blade to glow increasing its attack damage and durability. Its true power state can be unlocked permanently by completing the DLC Side Quest "EX Trial of the Sword" which appears as part of "The Master Trials Pack" DLC.
• Fierce Deity Sword: From "The Legend of Zelda", is a large, peculiar greatsword with a unique double-helix design which has caused it to become known as the "Double-Helix Sword" among fans before it was officially named in Breath of the Wild. Like the Biggoron Sword, it is wielded two-handed. The blade first appears in Majora's Mask where it is the main weapon wielded by Link in his Fierce Deity form that is the result of Link wearing the powerful Fierce Deity's Mask which is obtained from the Lunar Child that wears Majora's Mask after trading all non-transformation masks to the other Lunar Children. Majora Mask's Child claims the mask represents the True Bad Guy and is implied to possess dark power greater than Majora's Mask and transforms Link into a white-haired, pupil-less, god-like being that resembles his adult form from Ocarina of Time that wields the two-handed Fierce Deity Sword. Link can only use the mask and sword when fighting bosses and allows Link to fire sword beams with magic power. The sword makes another appearance in "Tri Force Heroes" where it appears when Link wears the Fierce Deity Armor outfit which makes Link look like the Fierce Deity and turns his sword into the Fierce Deity Sword when worn. In "Breath of the Wild", it was officially named the Fierce Deity Sword and for the first time in the main series appears as an equipable weapon. It appears as a special weapon that can be obtained randomly via using a specific amiibo with the amiibo Rune after completing one of the four Divine Beast dungeons, however like all weapons in Breath of the Wild, it will eventually break, though can be reacquired through using the amiibo again. Link can also obtain a related armor set that makes him look like the Fierce Deity which can be obtained using the same amiibo that unlocks the Fierce Deity Sword. It is described in-game as "A peculiar greatsword allegedly used by a hero from a world in which the moon threatened to fall. It slashes wildly in battle as if possessed by a fierce deity.".
• Four Sword: From "The Legend of Zelda", another sword wielded by Link that has the power to split its wielder into four copies. In Minish Cap, it is revealed to have been forged by the Minish.
• Sword of Sages: From "The Legend of Zelda", it is a holy sword created by the Six Ancient Sages to execute and seal away the Dark Lord Ganondorf. It first appeared in "Twilight Princess" during a flashback of Ganondorf's failed execution. The ancient sages used the sword in an attempt to execute Ganondorf, though as if by some divine prank Ganondorf chosen by destiny to wield the power of the gods (implied to be the Triforce of Power) and Ganondorf survives his execution and removes the blade which leaves a glowing wound that never heals. However, unlike the Master Sword, the blade can be wielded by evil beings as Ganondorf uses it to kill the Ancient Sage of Water after his failed execution forcing the remain five sages to banish Ganondorf in the Twilight Realm using the Mirror of Twilight where Ganondorf encounters Zant who worships him as a god and helps him overthrow Twilight Princess Midna and take over the Twilight Realm, then invade Hyrule. Ganondorf keeps the blade with him when he returns to Hyrule, despite considering it "foul" due to its holy power and use in his attempted execution, though poetically states he plans to use to blot out the light from Hyrule. It is used by Ganondorf to counter the Master Sword during his and Link's final battle as its holy nature means it is not affected by the Master Sword's power to repel evil. However, the wound it caused to Ganondorf remains a weak point and afflicts Ganondorf for the remainder of his life until he is killed by Link at which time it stops glowing as Ganondorf dies. The sword's fate after his defeat is unclear. In Breath of the Wild, it is named the Sword of the Six Sages and for the first time appears as a sword that can be wielded by Link, though as a two-handed weapon implying that it is quite heavy (presumably Ganondorf could wield it one-handed due to his unnatural strength and power). It appears as a special weapon that can be obtained randomly via using a specific amiibo with the amiibo Rune after completing one of the four Divine Beast dungeons, however like all weapons in Breath of the Wild it will eventually break, though it can be reacquired through using the amiibo again.
• Biggoron Sword: From "The Legend of Zelda", is a greatsword forged by the giant Goron blacksmith, Biggoron. It is so large that Link must wield it with two hands, preventing him from using his shield. There is an identical blade called the "Giant's Knife" made by Biggoron's brother Medigoron in Goron City, though unlike the Biggoron Sword which is unbreakable, the Giant's Knife will break after a certain number of hits and Link cannot purchase it from Medigoron if he has obtained the Biggoron Sword. In Ocarina of Time, it deals twice as much damage as the Master Sword, though at the cost of being unable to use Link's shield. In Breath of the Wild, it appears as a special weapon that can be obtained randomly via using a specific amiibo with the amiibo Rune after completing one of the four Divine Beast dungeons, however like all weapons in Breath of the Wild it will eventually break, though can be reacquired through using the amiibo again.

However eventually its origins were forgotten among the Kaioshin, as the Supreme Kai Shin was completely unaware that Elder Kai was sealed in it and it was stuck inside a pillar-shaped rock where many such as Kibito have tried to remove it without success. During the Majin Buu Saga, Supreme Kai brings Son Gohan to the Sacred World of the Kais believing Gohan can remove it and that wielding it will allow Gohan to awaken his true power. It is implied that a sword in the Stone-like myth has grown among the Kaioshin and Gohan even mentions reading a similar legendary sword in a stone that supposedly exists on Earth (presumably refer Excalibur or the Sword in the Stone). Gohan removes the sword but both he and initially skeptical Kibito finds it is extremely heavy. Eventually, Gohan manages to get the hang of wielding while training with it and is eventually joined on the Sacred World of the Kais by his father, the series' main protagonist Son Goku who, after learning of his son's survival, tracks him down using Instant Transmission. Goku later decides to help out with Gohan's sword-training.

The Z Sword appears as both an item and a weapon in various Dragon Ball video games. In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Old Kai is shown to hold a grudge against Beerus for sealing him in the Z-Sword and even complains about all that he has missed while trapped in it to the game's protagonist. At one point during the game's story, Whis even suggests to Beerus sealing Old Kai in the Z Sword again to relieve his anger and frustration over Towa manipulating him during the battle against Golden Frieza.

After Hirudegarn escapes, Tapion manages to seal the entire beast in himself and requests that Trunks use the sword to kill him and Hirudegarn, though Trunks hesitates and the monster escapes only to be defeated by Super Saiyan 3 Goku's Dragon Fist technique. Afterward, Tapion gives the sword to Trunks whom he had formed a brother-like bond. It is implied that Trunks later uses this sword as an adult in Dragon Ball GT.
