I have no qualifications other than playing the game a lot. I have never played Persona 5, Xenoblade Chronicles, Dragon Quest, or any Fire Emblem games. Expect opinions to be ill-informed.

*no Mii Swordfighter swords because there are way too many

27) Parrying Dagger (Joker)

Joker is a fine character, but this is essentially a glorified toothpick. I wouldn't do much more than skewer some chicken and veggies with this dinkery-doo. Good thing he can summon ghosts or whatever.

By that logic, Shiek's dagger will be next.

Joker's dagger is literally less useful than a butter knife in a fight, so fair ranking imo

Oh also I'm only ranking swords that are used by playable characters

I drew the line somewhere between those and Joker's dagger (no)

26) Dragovian King Sword (Hero)

The color scheme here is all wrong. Red blade & yellow handle?? It looks a nerf toy. It looks like a kid tore off a piece of a swimming noodle and duct taped it to a Simon Says. It looks like something a 90s action figure would use. Alright that last one's a positive actually, but it's a weird lookin sword and Hero is dumb for using it.

25) Bronze Sword (Robin)

Just the most "meh" sword you'll ever see. Something you'd start off with in a fantasy RPG, that you'd want to upgrade as quickly as possible. A carpenter's sword.

I guess I should include pictures

24) Kokiri Sword (Young Link)

I never thought it was such a bad little sword. It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love.

23) Galaxia (Meta Knight)

A little too much going on here. The set of forked blades don't really do it for me - seems like they'd get in the way if you're trying to have a proper swordsman's duel. Now if it were the anime version, it would have scored higher - it actually has the 'flame' look they were supposedly going for:

22) Levin's Sword (Robin)

What the hell is this nonsense? Yeah, I get it - lightning bolt-shaped blade, deals electric damage, but it looks like an effect they'd use in a cartoon to show how useless a sword is against some impervious thing. You know, as if it could fold up. Again, seems wildly impractical for a sword fight. So congratulations to Robin on having 2 swords, and no good ones.
