MASTER USING IT AND YOU CAN HAVE THIS |

The Magical Sword is a name attached to swords that Link has wielded through the Legend of Zelda series
Appearances
The Legend of Zelda
The Magical Sword is the final and most powerful sword in The Legend of Zelda. It is easily the most powerful weapon Link can use, performing twice as much damage as the White Sword and four times as much damage as the original Sword.[2]
It can be obtained once Link has accumulated 12 Heart Containers. In the First Quest, he can take those 12 Heart Containers and head to the Graveyard, where, in the top-right screen of the Graveyard, he can push a specific grave to reveal a hidden underground area. Inside, the Old Man says to Link, "MASTER USING IT AND YOU CAN HAVE THIS."[3] If Link has 12 Heart Containers, he is able to pick up the sword. However, if he has less than 12 Hearts, he is unable to claim it as his own.
Using the Magical Sword makes most enemies very simple, as one hit defeats most enemies easily.
The Adventure of Link
The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia indicates that Link retains the Magical Sword between The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link[4]. During the events of The Adventure of Link, Link never upgrades his sword; instead, he can use experience gained in battle to improve his attack power.

Soulcalibur II
"Good at penetrating defenses, but weak against impact."
The Magic Sword [sic] is one of Link's weapons in Soulcalibur II, paired with the Magic Shield.
Its design is loosely based on the Magical Sword from the LOZ Instruction Booklet, most obviously in the blue and red grip. It also incorporates the "three triangles" Triforce design introduced in The Adventure of Link and used as one of the main branding elements of the Zelda series thereafter.
Hyrule Warriors
The Magical Sword is the third-level version of Link's Hylian Sword weapon, and has the Light element.
While the design as a whole is new, it incorporates design elements from the Adventure of Link version; such as red diamond patterning, and details in the hilt and pommel.
