Razor Swords are recurring Items in The Legend of Zelda series.
Uses and Location
Majora's Mask
The Razor Sword is obtained by upgrading the Kokiri Sword at the Mountain Smithy for 100 Rupees.[1] Link must leave his Kokiri Sword at the smithy for an entire day before the Sword is ready. Once completed, the Razor Sword features an odd-looking double-blade with increased range and twice the strength. However, its edge is prone to chipping and eventually will dull after hitting objects or enemies a certain number of times. Although brittle, the Razor Sword is significantly more durable in comparison to the Giant's Knife in Ocarina of Time. After one hundred strikes, as explained by Zubora, the blade will break apart, and then become the Kokiri Sword once again.[2][3]
Alongside the dulling issue, this upgrade is not permanent, since if the young Hero of Time plays the Song of Time to go back to the First Day, the Razor Sword will revert back to the Kokiri Sword. However, the Razor Sword can be further upgraded to the Gilded Sword, which will not revert back to the Kokiri Sword.
Other Appearances
SoulCalibur II
In SoulCalibur II, the Razor Sword is one of Link's weapons. Paired with the Hylian Shield, the Razor Sword can be bought in the Regulus Shop for 600 Gold while playing the Weapon Master Mode. When Link equips the Razor Sword, his attack goes up to 125% while his defense stays the same. However, due to the Sword's short reach, Link will take 15% block damage compared to the usual 10%.[4]

A sword forged by the blacksmith from the Mountain Village on Snowhead. The blacksmith is famous for his perfectionism--this sword is yet another excellent example of his craftsmanship and boasts an amazingly sharp cutting edge. Unfortunately, the metal used to forge this blade is prone to chipping, so there remains some concern about its defensive capabilities. |
