Equipment

Swords

• Sword: The standard weapon given to Link at the beginning of the game. It is described as a smart sword that is capable of discerning from friend or foe, as it is directly stated that it won't hurt anyone friendly, and will instead encourage them to talk.
• Power Sword: An upgraded sword that can shoot powerful magic blasts when Link is at full health.
• Fire Sword: A fully upgraded sword that can now fire powerful bursts of fire, even when Link isn't at full health.
