Dusk Claymore
Template:Item The {{{2}}} was a magical Sword of light used by the Sage of Water in Twilight Princess.
Design
The Sword appears to be a longsword, and the blade's length suggests that it may be a two-handed weapon. However, Ganondorf wields it both one- and two-handed, although this could be due to his great strength.
History
Twilight Princess
Hundreds of years before Twilight Princess, the Sage of Water thrust this Sword into Ganondorf's chest, intending to execute him; however, the attempt was in vain, as the Triforce of Power, which was in Ganondorf's hand, preventing him from being harmed by the Sword (although it left a glowing wound in his chest that would later become his weak spot). Ganondorf took the Sword from his body and killed the Sage of Water. Ganondorf kept the Sword for many years, using it in the final battle with Link.
Ganondorf stated he desired to use the sword from the sages who attempted to execute him to blot out light. [1]
Breath of the Wild
Called offically Sword of the Six Sages, it makes a reappearance as a Amiibo exclusive item, using the Ganondorf Amiibo.
- The Six Sages are said to have forged this longsword to seal a demon king in the world, where the hero fought against the beasts of twilight. It shines with a holy luster.
Location and Uses
Twilight Princess
While the sword appears in the game, Link cannot obtain or use it.
Breath of the Wild
Use the Ganondorf Amiibo to obtain the sword, it however has a low chance of spawning. Link uses it as a two-handed weapon. It has a attack power of 48 and Durability Up.
Other Appearances
Super Smash Bros. Series
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Ganondorf shows the Sword during one of his taunts. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Ganondorf shows the Sword as a taunt once again. He can also attack with it by using the Warlock Blade, a custom neutral special move that replaces the Warlock Punch.
Trivia
- While Ganondorf is wielding the sword in Twilight Princess, the color changes from white to a glowing red; while this may be just due to the lighting, its similar coloration in Super Smash Bros. could mean the color change is intentional.
- Outside of non-canonical media, this is the only time Ganondorf has used a single sword instead of dual wielding a pair of swords, or using a trident.
