| Fighter's Sword | Secret Passage | This sword deals a terribly low amount of damage, so you'll need to upgrade to face tougher enemies. |
| Master Sword | The Lost Woods | The sacred blade of legend. |
| Tempered Sword | Kakariko Village | Red and deadly. The twin smiths will be glad to renew your sword for you... but only when they're both around to do it. |
| Golden Sword | Pyramid of Power | This sacred blade deals a good amount of damage, and is the only way to break through certain barriers. You can't face Ganon without it. |

## Selectable items

These items can be used one at a time. Some of them consume magic points (MP) when used.
By using Magic Powder on a shrine next to the blacksmith's house, a strange bat-like creature appears and "curses" Link, resulting in a doubled Magic Meter. The one-half means that magic is drained at one-half the normal rate.
