The '''Sword Beam''' is a recurring Sword skill in {{TLoZ|Series}}, first debuting in the original {{TLoZ}}. It is often utilized by [[Link]] wherein, when he is at full health, an attack with his [[Sword]] will result in a beam of light streaking out and striking anything in its path. It is useful for when one does not wish to engage in close quarters combat or use ammunition like [[Arrow]]s. | The '''Sword Beam''' is a recurring Sword skill in {{TLoZ|Series}}, first debuting in the original {{TLoZ}}.

It is useful for when one does not wish to engage in close quarters combat or use ammunition like [[Arrow]]s. Depending on the game, it can be utilized with any blade; at others, only special blades like the [[Master Sword]] will create a Sword Beam when swung. | ||

Whenever [[Link]] has full health in {{TLoZ}}, he is capable of performing a Sword-shaped Sword Beam from the [[Sword]], the [[White Sword]], and the [[Magical Sword]]. [[Lynel]]s are also capable of using Sword Beams. | |||
=== | ==={{TAoL|-}}=== | ||
Provided that [[Link]] has full health, he is capable of firing Sword Beams in {{TAoL}}. [[Fokka]] are also capable of using Sword Beams. | |||
==={{ALttP|-}}=== | |||
[[Link]] can fire swirls of circular Sword Beams while equipped with the [[Master Sword]], the [[Tempered Sword]], or the [[Golden Sword]] in {{ALttP}}, provided he has full health. The purple [[Dark Link]] in the [[Palace of the Four Sword]] is capable of using Sword Beams as well in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of {{ALttP|-}}. | |||
==={{LA|-}}=== | |||
If [[Link]] has obtained the [[Level 2 Sword]] in {{LA}}, he can fire Sword-shaped Sword Beams at full health. | |||
=== | ==={{MM|-}}=== | ||
When Link is wearing the [[Fierce Deity's Mask]] in {{MM}}, he will be able to shoot out a blue, crescent-shaped Sword Beam from his [[Sword]]. However, this ability can only be used when [[L-Targeting]],{{Note|Z-Targeting in N64 versions of {{MM}}.}} and it consumes [[Magic Power]]. | |||
==={{OoS|-}}=== | |||
If [[Link]] has the [[Noble Sword]] or the [[Master Sword]], he can fire a Sword-shaped Sword Beam from his Sword while his health is full. If the [[Light Ring]] is transferred to {{OoS|-}} in a [[Linked Game]] from {{OoA}}, Link is capable of using it. While wearing the Light Ring, Link can use Sword Beams from the Noble Sword and Master Sword even with up to two [[Heart]]s of damage. The Light Ring L-2 increases this limit to a maximum of three Hearts of damage. | |||
=== | ==={{OoA|-}}=== | ||
If [[Link]] has the [[Noble Sword]] or the [[Master Sword]], he can fire a Sword-shaped Sword Beam from his Sword while his health is full. While wearing the [[Light Ring]], Link can use Sword Beams from the Noble Sword and Master Sword even with up to two [[Heart]]s of damage. The Light Ring L-2 increases this limit to a maximum of three Hearts of damage. | |||
In {{ | ==={{FS|-}}=== | ||
In {{ALttP&FS}}, circular Sword Beam swirls can be fired from the [[Four Sword]] once Link has obtained the [[Master Sword]] in {{ALttP}} on the same save file, provided that the Links have full health. In {{FSAE|-}}, Sword Beams can be executed after the Links have full health and have obtained Master Sword by completing the [[Realm of Memories]]. | |||
==={{FSA|-}}=== | |||
The [[Four Sword]] can be empowered to use Sword-shaped Sword Beams in {{FSA|-}}, once the [[Links]] have obtained 2,000 [[Force Gem]]s. Unlike in prior games, the Sword Beam is not affected by the Links' health. | |||
=== | ==={{TMC|-}}=== | ||
[[Link]] can learn to perform a standard blade-shaped Sword Beam from [[Grimblade]] in the [[Hyrule Castle Garden]] in {{TMC}}. Like other titles, the Sword Beam can only be executed while Link has full health. A similar technique that only works while Link has one [[Heart]] or less remaining, known as the [[Peril Beam]], can be learned from [[Waveblade]] in [[Lake Hylia]]. | |||
After Link infuses the [[Four Sword]] with all [[Four Elements]], his Sword will shoot a circular Sword Beam swirl after performing a [[Spin Attack]]. This circular version of the Sword Beam is capable of breaking [[Vaati]]'s curse on the inhabitants of [[Hyrule Castle]]. | |||
=== | ==={{PH|-}}=== | ||
Regardless of [[Link]]'s health, he can execute Sword-shaped Sword Beams after collecting at least 10 [[Courage Gem]]s having [[Ciela]] equipped as his active [[Fairy]] in {{PH}}. If Link obtains 20 [[Courage Gem]]s and has Ciela]] equipped as his Fairy, the Sword Beams shot from his [[Sword]] will become wider. | |||
==={{ST|-}}=== | |||
[[Link]] can perform Sword-shaped Sword Beams with full health after collecting the [[Swordsman's Scroll#Swordsman's Scroll 1|Swordsman's Scroll #1]] in {{ST}}. | |||
=== | ==={{SS|-}}=== | ||
{{Main|Skyward Strike}} | |||
By raising the [[Goddess Sword]], [[Goddess Longsword]], [[Goddess White Sword]], the [[Master Sword]], or the [[True Master Sword]] into the air, Link is capable of charging and firing versatile Sword Beams known as [[Skyward Strike]]s. In his final battle in [[Hylia's Realm]], [[Ghirahim]] is capable of firing red, circular Sword Beam waves from his sword in an identical manner to the Skyward Strike. | |||
==={{ALBW|-}}=== | |||
[[Link]] can execute a crescent-shaped Sword Beam from the Master Sword if his health is full in {{ALBW}}. | |||
==={{TFH|-}}=== | |||
The [[Links]] can shoot Sword Beams by wearing [[Sword Suit]]s and [[Sword Master Suit]]s while their collective health is full in {{TFH}}. The [[Fierce Deity Armor]] allows any Links wearing the [[Outfit]] to shoot Sword Beams in four directions at once with full health. Alternatively, Sword Beams can be shot with the Fierce Deity Armor after executing a [[Spin Attack]], regardless of health. | |||
==={{BotW|-}}=== | |||
Disc-shaped Sword Beams can be fired from the [[Master Sword]] if [[Link]] has full health in {{BotW}}. To execute a Sword Beam, Link must "throw" the Master Sword in the direction that he wants the Sword Beam to go. The use of Sword Beams slowly deteriorates the Master Sword and will contribute to its loss of energy. | |||

In {{TLoZ|TV Series}}, the Sword Beam, referred to as zaps, is the only attack which Link performs with his [[Crissword]], other than using it to parry. The Sword Beams seen in the cartoon are pink, and Link is able to shoot them from his Sword at any time, no matter his health. Any monster that receives a zap from the Crissword is sent to [[Ganon]]'s [[Evil Jar]], including Ganon himself.<ref>{{Cite episode|quote=Two zaps! One more and you're history, Ganon!|name=Link|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=Underworld Connections}}</ref> However, Link cannot use its zaps to hurt anyone who is not a monster, as shown in "[[Sing for the Unicorn]]" when the hero is unable to damage [[Sing]] with it.<ref>{{Cite episode|quote=Ow!

The zaps emitted from the Crissword are powerful enough to knock back the person holding the Sword. As such, the Sword must be held with two hands by beginners until they are able to master it completely.<ref>{{Cite episode|quote= You're doing it wrong!

The code for the Sword Beam can still be found in the game's debug ROM. | ||
