The Phantom Sword is the only weapon capable of slaying the [[Phantom]]s that patrol the [[Temple of the Ocean King]], and thus, the only weapon capable of defeating Bellum. Since the Phantom Hourglass is incorporated into the hilt, it makes the wielder immune to the life-draining curse of the Temple. In combination with a [[Phantom Sphere]], it can stop time temporarily. Link uses this ability in his battle with Bellum, using it to freeze time so he can get behind Bellum and attack his eye.

*The Phantom Sword resembles the [[Master Sword]] in many ways - the major differences between them are the symbol of the [[Oshus|Ocean King]] appearing in place of the Triforce emblem on the blade as well as the crossguard featuring a different design, in which the Master Sword's yellow jewel is replaced by the Phantom Hourglass.

Oshus fuses the Phantom Hourglass with the blade of the Phantom Sword
After rescuing Tetra from the Ghost Ship, Link is told by Oshus to find the three kinds of Pure Metals and take them to the legendary blacksmith Zauz to forge the Phantom Sword in order to defeat Bellum. The Pure Metals include Crimsonine, found in the Goron Temple, Azurine, found in the Temple of Ice, and Aquanine, found in Mutoh's Temple. After Zauz forges the Phantom Sword with the three Pure Metals, Link must complete the blade by returning to Oshus, who will fuse the Phantom Hourglass with the blade itself.[2] By doing so, the Phantom Sword gains the ability to control time for a short period.[3]

During the Phantom Hourglass manga by Akira Himekawa, Link is told by Grandpa Oshus that the blacksmith Zauz can forge a weapon to defeat Bellum.[6] Although, when Linebeck is captured by Bellum, Jolene is sent to Zauz instead.[7] When Zauz has completed the Phantom Sword, Jolene brings the weapon to Link.[8] Link uses the Phantom Sword to defeat Bellum once and for all.
