Your sword journey starts with the Goddess Sword and branches into the Golden, Fierce Deity, and True Master Sword paths. This page puts the upgrade order, default stats, and required materials in one place.
The table shows the configured default damage bonus and effective sword attack value (2 + bonus), before enchantments or other modifiers. The first Goddess Sword comes from the special sword-bearing shrine: activate it with an empty main hand to take the sword. The block then becomes the normal reusable Sword Shrine and can trigger Navi’s introductory sequence.
