Throughout the evolution of Nintendo’s popular Legend of Zelda game series, swords have played an important role in every story line.  Always, the hero is Link:  his background is sometimes changed, and the success of his mission always depends on the gradual upgrade of swords and various special attacks Link can perform by using them.  The most recent game for Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, focuses on the Master Sword and the age old enemy, Ganon.  Zelda, Link’s childhood friend, is swept into the demon infested Hyrule and Link must follow the ghostly images of dreams in order to find her.  He is guided by spirits and goddesses as he progresses, and the initial sword he begins with is transformed over time into the most powerful sword in the world.

Zelda fans like to know their lore.  Here is an infographic featuring all of the swords of Zelda, which games they appeared in, how they were used to further the plots of various games, and their abilities in the hands of our hero, Link.
