### Equipment

* **Master Sword:** Once known as The Goddess Sword which was purified and tempered by three sacred flames which was then blessed by Zelda, the mortal incarnation of the Goddess Hylia. It is a holy weapon that is designed to be the blade of evil's bane.
	+ Has the power to vanquish evil due to the fact it's a weapon with Holy/Radiant properties.
	+ Base form is the Master Sword itself which dose twice as much damage as the Fighter's Sword, it's 2nd form being the Tempered Sword (three times as powerful) and it's 3rd form being the Golden Sword (four times as powerful).
	+ Has the soul of Fit as she is part of the Master Sword itself as the blade will choose it's wielder, be it the Hero of Time and/or otherwise.
	+ While the Master Sword can't break, it can wear down to the point where it can't be used after dealing at least 11,400 points of damage until it's fully self-repaired.
	+ Can shoot Beams of Light from simply swinging the blade.
	+ Has been downgraded at one point to another if left long enough on it's pedestal of time.
	+ The Master Sword, as a safeguard, will sap life to any non-evil individual deemed weak to whoever is attempting to wield it. This is especially true in the case if someone is simply strong enough via strength who is capable of just attempting to remove the blade out of its pedestal.
		- It can't be wielded by anyone who is truly evil via alignment.
	+ The Master Sword could be able to magically adapt to the size of its user.
	+ The Master Sword is needed in order to use the sheer power of the Bombos, Ether and Quake Medallions respectfully, as they require mana to use.
	+ The Master Sword once had an age restriction to it's user as shown Ocarina of Time until it later lost said restriction.
	+ The Master Sword has the innate ability to break through the opponent's guard maneuver.
	+ The Master Sword inherits the Goddess Sword's ability to unleash Skyward Strikes.
	+ The Master Sword also plays a key role in sealing Ganondorf and his magic as he mentioned in The Wind Waker, for removing The Master Sword will ultimately break that seal.
	+ The Sealing Power of The Master Sword can be used for time travel, as its only used in the case of vanquishing evil beings as powerful as Demise and Ganon.
* **Biggoron's Sword:** A super-sharp two handed sword that is more powerful then the Master Sword itself when it comes to physical slashing damage being dealt to those he uses against.
