Top 5 Video Game Swords
The video game sword took the world of fables and put them into real life with the gamer in actual control of the sword. There were plenty of swords throughout video game history, but only a few great ones. Many swords in modern day video games are too big and complicated. And some of the swords are just plain ugly. Can the effeminate hero of FF7 really hold that huge sword? So this list, we’ll go through what we think are the top 5 best swords in video game history. These swords stood out for their power and memorability, while others appeared silly. It’s not a coincidence that these next swords came from the greatest games of all time.
5. Masamune
The Masamune appears in Chorno Trigger as the most powerful two handed sword in the game. Unfortunately this sword was only usable by Frog. He was deserving of it though, as he was the most noble and heoric player in the game even beyond Crono himself. Once you obtained this sword you would want to have Frog in your party at all times, as the damage that this sword could do was great, especially when combined with triple attacks with Crono in the party. Obtaining this sword was no easy task though. You had to search the world of Chrono Trigger looking for two separate spirits, Masa and Mune. Without this sword, Frog was often weak, even though he was heroic and magnanimous of spirit. Give him the Masamune though, and he was the best character to have in your party.
4. The Dragon Sword
Ryu’s sword in Ninja Gaiden was the Dragon Sword, which has been passed down through the Hayabusa clan for generations. It passed on to Ryu from his father. The Dragon Sword is a Katana, although unlike most Katanas, this one was forged from the fang of a dragon, and possesses untold power to destroy demons and annoyingly timed birds. The Dragon Sword earns it spot on this list for its detailed back story, and the fact that it is wielded by a Ninja. No list of video game swords is complete without the fabled Dragon Sword. After all Ninjas are all the rage nowadays. No one cares about pirates anymore.
3. Mana Sword
The Mana sword was the premiere sword of Secret of Mana. It was with this sword that you could destroy the impenetrable Mana Beast. You would spend the whole game looking for the Mana seeds to replant into the Mana Tree. After the quest for the seeds though, you had to destroy the Mana Beast or your efforts at rebuilding the world into benevolence would be all for naught. This could only be accomplished by the Mana Sword which inflicted massive damage on anything that would cross its path including the Mana Beast would be unable to defeat without. Regardless of how powerful the sprites magic was or the princesses healing power was, nothing would be able to take down this incredible final boss except for the Mana Sword. Not being able to be conquer the game without this word certainly makes it one of the most important of all time.
2. AtmaWeapon
The Atma Weapon was a beast of a sword. When you obtained the weapon, you had one of the most powerful swords in video game history. It was certainly one of the most unique swords of all time. The amount of damage that the sword unleashed on a foe was equal to how many hit points the character using it had, so you would want to keep healing the character with the AtmaWeapon or you would be doing minimal damage if left with little energy. This would come in handy when fighting the final form of Kefka in FF3 (or FF6 for those who make a huge deal out of accuracy of the Eastern numerical ordering). Being able to do 9999 damage to anyone would make that character the most powerful character in the game beyond all of Kefka’s different forms.
1. Master Sword
The Master Sword is THE sword in all of videos games. Link would search all of Hyrule looking for this lost heirloom that would put Ganon in his place. Unfortunately, you would usually only obtain this legendary sword towards the end of the game unless you played with some emulator that allowed you to be stacked before even starting. The Master Sword would not be allowed to be held by just anyone though. It was reserved for only the forces of good. As the fable goes, this sword is more than just steel, “It possesses a magical power which is aligned toward the forces of valor and kindness”. This was not a sword that Ganon could use. It was the sword that only Link could use, as he epitomized virtual altruism more than any other character in video game history. He alone would be able to use the greatest video game sword of all time.
