*It is possible that Death Sword is loosely based off of the demon {{Wp|Azazel}} of Abrahamic religious script. The similarities are made noticeable through the several denominations of Abrahamisim, describing Azazel as a demonic goat imprisoned in a structure within the desert of Jerusalem for interfering with the affairs of humanity; corrupting their ways by teaching warfare and inciting barbarism among men. Death Sword is portrayed as a demonic goat and is imprisoned within the [[Arbiter's Grounds]]; a prison located in the [[Gerudo Desert]] built to contain the most infamous criminals in all of Hyrule. The enemies inhabiting the Arbiter's Grounds such as [[Stalfos]], [[Stalchild]], [[Staltroop]], and [[Gibdo]], also all bear militant arms such as swords, shields, and spears, alluding to the theme of warfare. Its also worth noting that the romanized Japanese name of the person who informs Link of the Arbiter's Grounds, [[Auru]] ラフレル ("Rafureru"), shares a strikingly close similarity to the name of the biblical archangel Raphael ラファエル ("Rafaeru"), who sealed away Azazel in the desert of Jerusalem.
