Omniforce he/him Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 This just popped into my head randomly. Both are swords made with the distinct purpose of destroying evil, both are sentient, and let's be honest, they both annoy the crap out of their wielders. What do you guys think. How do you think they'd matchup?
IndigoAjah he/him Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 The Master Sword, based on what it knocks back in the games and the sheer length of time for which it has existed, appears to be indestructible. But I don't think it could destroy Nightblood. So a draw for me in terms of both swords surviving. But Link is probably super dead when he gets touched by NB whereas whomever he is facing could survive a blow from the Master Sword

I'm not really sure on the Master Sword's powers, but didn't it turn Ganondorf into stone after you stab him in Wind Waker? If so, the MS must have some sort of magic that damages/hurts the enemy.

If anyone is pure of heart, wouldn't it be Link. Honestly though, wasn't really thinking about a fight between the two, just how they compared.
Quickbronze he/him Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Actually, it will hurt anyone, including it's own wielder.
Omniforce he/him Posted November 28, 2017 Author Posted November 28, 2017 Yeah, you're right. I was just thinking of how nightblood doesn't actively kill good people on his own.
Quickbronze he/him Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Unless a good person is holding him
Farnsworth Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 No, if a good person holds him, they get nauseous. If a bad person holds him they stab themselves

Weltall Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Sheathed, Nightblood itself won't hurt a 'good' person but it doesn't care about the morality of anyone or anything it hits. And unsheathed it will happily kill its wielder if they don't have any other source of Investiture with which to feed it. The Master Sword is only seen doing weird things to people hit with it who are 'evil', though it works on an entirely different standard than how Nightblood judges morality. In at least one timeline it has its own way of punishing unworthy people who try to use it. So I figure that Nightblood is probably more dangerous to get hit with for the most part (unless you're Ganon, in which case you'd be screwed either way), you really wouldn't want to use either sword unless you're sure it's not going to be hazardous to your own health and if the two blades themselves clash, it would probably cause the universe to divide by zero. Which, spoiler alert, is actually the true cause of the Zelda franchise's multiple timelines. 1

Quickbronze he/him Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 Sleep is good Wait The master sword caused Zelda's multiple timelines? I knew that Link's time travel used the master sword as a key and that is why there are multiple timelines but
Weltall Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Unless you count that it was the key to the time travel that made the events that split Zelda's timeline possible, no. I was just having some fun with what would 'really' happen if Nightblood and the Master Sword came into contact.
Kered he/him Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Nightblood being wielded during a highstorm would be unbeatable. That is if you could dodge the house sized boulders and not get blown away.

The One Who Connects he/him Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Just now, Kered said: Stormfather wouldn't be to happy with that, but not much he could do to stop it lol. What's he got to complain about? Rocks are just rocks. If he didn't have any complaints about [Spoilers] using an Honorblade against people in WoK/WoR, then using Nightblood on rocks is fine. 1
Kered he/him Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) I feel that Nighblood using the stormlight of highstorm as fuel(more so than the average surgebinder) would rub him the wrong way. I imagine it in my head of him just grumbling to [spoilers]. I also imagine that if it ever got to the point where Nightblood was un-sheathed in a highstorm he would be out of control to point where he might try and "attack" the Stormfather. I don't think anyone would be able to control Nightblood if he was absorbing that much Investiture. That's all just wild speculation though. Edited December 4, 2017 by Kered
