The Master Sword, also known as the "Blade of Evil's Bane" is [[Link]]'s iconic weapon in [[The Legend of Zelda]] series. It was forged by the Ancient Sages to vanquish beings of evil who would use the [[Triforce]] to wicked ends, and can only be wielded by those who are pure of heart and strong of body.

The Master Sword is a double-edged longsword with no fuller (central blade groove), and either a purple, gold or blue hilt, depending on the game. The hilt has a noticeably large cross-guard in relation to the pommel, and interestingly, it is somewhat reminiscent to the seal of the royal family. The blade has a large ricasso (unsharpened blade portion near the hilt suitable for a second grip), although Link is never portrayed using it in any of the games. Engraved on the blade is the Triforce, and embedded in the cross-guard is what appears to be a yellow gemstone.
