The '''Hylian Sword''' is a [[Hyrule Warriors Weapons|weapon]] class used by [[Link (Hyrule Warriors)|Link]] in ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]''. It is Link's default weapon class, as he receives it as part of his training in the [[Hyrulean Army]]. While wielding it, Link fights with a [[Sword|sword]] and [[Shield|shield]] combo, typical of his main weapon in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise]].
The '''Hylian Sword''' is the default [[Hyrule Warriors Weapons|weapon]] class used by [[Link (Hyrule Warriors)|Link]] in ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]''. With this weapon class, Link wields a sword and shield.


==Variations==
==Variations==
===Knight's Sword===
*'''Knight's Sword:''' The Level 1 variation. The sword is silver-grey with a dark grey indent, and is paired with a thick grey cross-guard, a grey and blue grip, and a silver pommel. The shield is cast iron with a studded, brown outer edge, and the boss features two designs: the left side features an ornamental pattern, while the right side features the vertical blue stripes of the [[Hyrulean Army]]. The scabbard is wooden, with a metal tip and rim.
The '''Knight's Sword''' is the Level 1 version of the Hylian Sword. It is based on the standard sword and shield used by the Hyrulean Army - the sword is silver-grey with a blue grip, while the shield has a brown, studded border, and its design is split in half: the left side is plain with an ornamental pattern, while the right side features vertical blue stripes.
*'''White Sword:''' The Level 2 variation. The sword is pure white with a blue indent running along the entire blade, and is paired with a blue cross-guard, blue grip, and a gold pommel; the cross-guard features two hoops on either end, and a yellow gem is inset in the center. The shield is white with a blue outer edge, and features an ornamental design in blue and gold. Named after the [[White Sword]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''.
*'''Magical Sword:''' The Level 3 variation. The sword is serrated, with an ornamental indent featuring red gems, and glows red with magic. The blade is paired with a silver cross-guard, a red-and-scarlet grip, and a gold pommel with a red gem inlaid in it; the cross-guard features a highly ornamental design, with four red gems and two orange gems embedded in it. The shield is red with a gold outer edge and features a cross design similar to that of the [[Magical Shield]], with a goldden, upside-down triangle in the center, and a circular indent at the center of the cross. Named after the [[Magical Sword]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', although the sword combines the color scheme of the former game with the design of ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]''.
*'''8-Bit Wooden Sword:''' The Level ★ variation. Link wields the [[Sword (Item)|Sword]] and [[Shield (Item)|Shield]] from ''The Legend of Zelda'', rendered in 3D. The shield features a diamond symbol rather than a cross, likely to cater to modern gaming audiences.
*'''Magical Sword +:''' The Level 4 variation. Its appearance is identical to the Magical Sword.
*'''Darkmagic Sword:''' The Level 4+ variation. Its appearance is identical to the Magical Sword, but with a purple, grey, and black color scheme.


===White Sword===
{|class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
The '''White Sword''' is the Level 2 version of the Hylian Sword. Based on the namesake sword in ''The Legend of Zelda'', the blade and the shield emblem are light blue, while the grip is a darker blue. The sword's pommel, the shield's accents, and the jewel in the crossguard are all gold, the crossguard itself being dark blue with a loop on either end.
 
===Magical Sword===
The '''Magical Sword''' is the Level 3 version of the Hylian Sword. The sword aesthetically resembles its namesake in  ''The Legend of Zelda'', but the design itself is taken from the box art of ''[[The Adventure of Link]]''. Both the sword and shield primarily feature a red, black, and gold color scheme, with red jewels embedded along the sword's blade and in the crossguard and pommel. The blade itself is serrated, and the shield features a cross design that resembles the [[Magical Shield]], a pair of circles surrounding the point of intersection.
 
The '''Magical Sword+''' is the Level 4 version of the Hylian Sword, available only in ''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]'' and ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition]]''. It appears identical to the Magical Sword, although it is considerably stronger.
 
===8-bit Wooden Sword===
The '''8-Bit Wooden Sword''' is the Level ★ version of the Hylian Sword, available only in ''Legends'' and ''Definitive Edition''. It resembles an identical copy of the Wooden Sword and Shield from ''The Legend of Zelda'', rendered in 3D. However, the shield bears a slightly different emblem, featuring a small diamond rather than a cross.
 
===Darkmagic Sword===
The '''Darkmagic Sword''' is the Level 4+ version of the Hylian Sword, only available in ''Legends'' and ''Definitive Edition''. The weapon resembles the Magical Sword, but features a purple, black, and silver color scheme, to represent its secondary element.

After completing "[[A War of Spirit]]" in [[Legend Mode]], the Master Sword gains the ability to fire [[Sword Beam|Sword Beams]] after certain attacks; These occurences are described below.

|Link performs a string of nine attacks; He slashes right, slashes left, spins and slashes left, slashes up, slashes right, slashes left, slashes right again, slashes left again, and performs a small, vertical [[Spin Attack]] in mid-air. When using the Master Sword and at full health, the completed string fires three Sword Beams ahead.
|-
| style="text-align:center"|C1{{Tt|X/Y}}
|Link performs a Spin Attack; You can hold {{HW Button|strong}} to charge the attack and move freely before performing it. When using the Master Sword, the Spin Attack has a wider radius, and the charged version carries Link forward.
|-
| style="text-align:center"|C2{{Tt|YX+YYYX/BY+BBBY}}
|Link performs a rising low blow that knocks enemies into the air; While airborne, this can be extended into three horizontal slashes (YYY/BBB) and an explosive Down Thrust (X/Y), which can be used separately or in order. When using the Master Sword and at full health, the initial swing fires a Sword Beam ahead, and each aerial slash fires a horizontal Sword Beam below.
|-
|-
|C1
| style="text-align:center"|C3{{Tt|YYX/BBY}}
|Link performs a horizontal [[Spin Attack]]; holding and releasing the button makes it wider and stronger. Holding the button after any of Link's other special moves has him perform three consecutive, horizontal Spin Attacks with a short forward radius, the third being slightly wider and stronger.
|Link vaults back, before charging forward with a right slash that fires a horizontal Sword Beam ahead. When using the Master Sword and at full health, the attack shoots three Sword Beams in an arc.
|-
|-
|C2
| style="text-align:center"|C4{{Tt|YYYX+YYYX/BBBY+BBBY}}

===[[Special Attack]]===
===Notes===
Link raises his sword to the sky, charging it with energy, before charging forward with a series of wide Spin Attacks. It is incredibly effective against groups of enemies, but is weaker against single-targets.
*Holding {{HW Button|strong}} after performing the C2, C3, or C4 will cause Link to charge a Spin Attack. Compared to the C1 version, the Spin Attack has a smaller radius, but is faster, carries Link further forward, and lets him move faster while charging.
 
*Pressing {{HW Button|strong}} after dodging left, right, or backwards will make Link perform an overhead thrust.
===Weak Point Smash===
*'''Enemy Captain/Warrior:''' Link performs a series of wide slice attacks, followed by a powerful forward thrust.
*'''Giant Boss:''' Link leaps high into the air, before performing a downward thrust into the bosses' core that goes all the way down to the hilt.


===[[Focus Spirit]] Finisher===
*'''Manual:''' Link performs a single, forward thrust with a relatively long range.
*'''Automatic:''' Link thrusts his sword to the sky and releases his remaining magic in a massive explosion of light around him, dealing moderate damage.
