SOUND THE HORN: Top 10 fantasy swords.

Just thought I would do a top ten of my favorite swords from works of fantasy. If I missed something you like feel free to comment and I might just do a readers follow up.

10. The Sword of Eddard Stark ( A game of Thrones )

 What is there to say about this sword, its amazing its simple, beautiful and horrifyingly large, one could debate if a sword that large would be effective in battle but do you really want to test the son of a bitch that can swing it?

9. The Father's Sword (Original Conan the Barbarian Movie.)

Some people might say they like the Aqualonion sword from the film but I think this one is beautiful, it just looks like a barbarians sword. I do however want to point out that in the books Conan doesn't have a special sword, any sword will do and he has no attachment to the weapons he uses.

8. Cloud's Buster Sword (Final Fantasy VII)

This one has a special place in my heart because it solidified my love for the RPG genre and I mean come on look at it. It takes some balls to bring a sword to a gun fight...but it helps if you can hide your entire body behind the sword.

7. The Sword of Omens ( Original Thundercats Cartoon)

Thundercats HOOOOOO! This was another bad ass sword, Not only was it telescopic allowing for it to be carried as a dagger and then transforming into a full sized sword, but it also granted the ability to see vast distances and spy on people TELEPATHICALLY!! not too shabby kitty cat.

6. Frostmourne (World of Warcraft.)

 The frozen blade of a lich king. Nice. Arthus' sword reflected what had happened to his mortal soul and is probably the most iconic weapon from the worlds most popular MMO.

5. The Ebony Blade. ( The Black Knight from Marvel Comics)

I love comics and the Black Knight is one of my favorite characters, every Black Knight has wielded the Ebony Blade. Crafted from a meteorite known as the Startstone by Merlin, the magic sword imbues the wielder with great power, however due to its use to kill so many innocents by a corrupted Black Knight it had become cursed and now slowly drives every black knight to madness.

4. Stormbringer (Elric's sword from the Elric series.)

A dark enchanted blade with the ability to drink the souls of its foes. It is a member of the demon race that took its form as a sword. If you haven't read the Elric books you are missing out!

3. Sting (the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings)

How awesome is Sting, I mean seriously and elvish blade that glows blue when orcs and goblins are around. Old Bilbo uses it to great effect against orcs, goblins and spiders in The Hobbit book. If you havent read it you really should it is a masterpiece but if you too lazy you should at least check out the film.

2. Icingdeath and Twinkle ( The swords of Drizzt Do'Urden)

Icingdeath and Twinkle are the twin scimitars of the dark elf
  Drizzt Do'Urden and despite being kind of fruity sounding they are pretty bad ass and he always has them with him on his adventures kind of like Indiana Jones and his hat. If you haven't read R.A. Salvatore’s Drizzt series do yourself a favor and check it out. Its an interesting story of a dark elf fighting for good when the rest of his kind are quite the opposite.

1.The Master Sword (Legend of Zelda series)

This sword is awesome and has been a boon to many a gamer and fantasy fan alike over the years. This magic sword has gotten Link through many adventures trying to save that frosty princess in his endless quest to get him some of that. Oh and it SHOOTS FUCKING ENGERY BOLTS.
Well done Hyrule...well done.
