The Power to Repel Evil is an ability to banish pure evil. It is most often used to defeat the games' primary antagonist, [[Ganon]]dorf, though it has been shown to have other uses. For instance, in {{ALttP}}, [[Link]] uses this power to reflect [[Agahnim]]'s fireball spell. In {{TWW}}, Link uses the Master Sword infused with the power to repel evil to destroy the dark barrier surrounding [[Hyrule Castle]], thus giving him free roam of [[Hyrule|the path]] to [[Ganon's Tower]]. The Power to Repel Evil is infused in the Master Sword with the help of the Sages of the Master Sword. Similarly to the [[Light Arrow]]s, the power to repel evil is the only thing that can harm Ganondorf. | The Power to Repel Evil is an ability to banish pure evil.

In {{FSA}}, at the end of every level there are dark magic barriers blocking entrance to the next level. The [[Links]] can only destroy them if they collect at least 2000 [[Force Gem]]s to give the [[Four Sword]] the power to repel evil. | In {{FSA}}, at the end of every level there are dark magic barriers blocking entrance to the next level.

Although the Master and Four Swords are the clearest, most powerful, and most versatile examples of the power to repel evil, this power seems to be displayed by other aspects of the ''Zelda'' universe as well, such as: | Although the Master and Four Swords are the clearest, most powerful, and most versatile examples of the power to repel evil, this power seems to be displayed by other aspects of the ''Zelda'' universe as well, such as: | ||
*The [[Kokiri Forest]], and in particular the [[Great Deku Tree]] and [[Great Deku Tree#Deku Tree Sprout|his child]] who preside over it, are shown to keep out evil creatures and influences. The forest had virtually no monsters originally and served as a safe home for the Kokiri prior to the death of the Great Deku Tree; some time after his death, it became filled with monsters; and upon the growth of the Deku Tree Sprout, they disappeared once more. | *The [[Kokiri Forest]], and in particular the [[Great Deku Tree]] and [[Great Deku Tree#Deku Tree Sprout|his child]] who preside over it, are shown to keep out evil creatures and influences.

*The Six Sages appear to have a limited form of this power, being able to keep [[Ganon]]dorf's influence out of the Chamber of Sages despite his takeover of the [[Sacred Realm]], and later being able to bind his power and seal him away.
