Hylian Sword
The Hylian Sword is one of Link's signature weapons in Hyrule Warriors. It is the first weapon he has access to in the game, receiving it as part of his training to be a Knight in the Hyrulean Army. It is based off of the staple sword-and-shield combination that the hero wields in the main series. As such, its attacks consist primarily of series of slashes and Spin Attacks.
The basic Hylian Sword is the Knight's Sword, its upgraded form is the White Sword, and its most powerful form is the Magical Sword. Its 8-bit skin is the 8-Bit Wooden Sword, modeled after the basic sword in The Legend of Zelda.
The Hylian Sword is of the Light element.
Variants
Knight's Sword
The Knight's Sword is the basic incarnation of the Hylian Sword. The sword itself is rather plain in appearance: silver in color except for the grip, which is a darker gray; its crossguard sports a simple pattern. The shield is designed to complement the uniform of the Hyrulean Forces, the right half sporting vertical, blue stripes, and the left half sporting embossed patterns.
Link receives the Knight's Sword as part of his training; as such, it is also the only weapon available from the very start of the game (without DLC). As a first-tier weapon, the Knight's Sword can be obtained with a base damage value ranging from 80 to 120, in increments of eight.
White Sword
The White Sword is the second-tier variant of the Hylian Sword. Its design is based on that of its namesake from The Legend of Zelda, particularly with regard to its color scheme. The blade and the shield's emblem are a very light-bluish color, while the grip is a more typical blue. The sword's pommel is golden, as are the shield's accents and an inset piece within the crossguard. The crossguard itself is dark blue with a loop on each end.
The White Sword is unlocked within Legend Mode during the "Sealed Ambition" scenario. A Chest containing the corresponding Sealed Weapon appears within the East Cannon Keep after it is captured, as long as Link is a player character.
Like other second-tier weapons, the White Sword is found in five variants with different base damage based on a given weapon's star rating. A zero-star White Sword has a base damage of 150, while each additional star adds 15 to that value, with a five-star White Sword possessing a base-damage value of 225.

Trivia
- The emblem on the shield of the 8-Bit Wooden Sword skin has been changed from the original on the Wooden Shield. The original was a Latin cross; this may have been seen by the Hyrule Warriors developers as too religious for today's general gaming audience, so the emblem was changed to a "plus" sign (+) with a pixel missing in the center.
