Legendary swords, items of power and magic, great artifacts that can topple countries and raise kingdoms when wielded by those worthy of their supernatural might. They are the greatest of arms, wielded by heroes and villains alike as they battle fate itself.
As such, as the wisest of sages can easily attest, there are very good reasons why any sane being would do well in keeping such dangerous artifacts well contained and safely hidden away from prying eyes and unworthy hands until such times when their mighty powers may be needed once again.
So the fact that both Link and Ganondorf lost their legendary blades as they traveled through the void towards ancient Equestria may be something of a problem…
This is just a fun little, non-canon, Omake to my story The Power of Freedom, depicting one of the many possibilities that could’ve come to pass due to Link and Ganondorf losing their swords mid-travel as they reached ancient Equestria.
Reading the main story isn’t necessary to appreciate this, but it would make it far more enjoyable.

Jolly good show
Fantastic!
Aight, this was pretty fun!

Glad you liked it.
10024938
10024943
Indeed. Glad you liked it.
10024959
Like is a weak word I love it
No self respect at all, it should at least have aimed for a medium sized city

At least the Master Sword chose an apropriately high class place to be a nuisance at.
10025259
Oh my
Nice. This is everything I expected and more. Ganondorf scolding his sword was utterly hilarious, and White Knight’s reactions to the usual absurdity were the icing on the cake. But boy, is Platinum in for a surprise when Fairy Boy comes to reclaim his sword.
Incidentally, the first part with the sword-possessed pony made me think of the evil sword Sō’unga from the third Inuyasha movie. I wonder what Dorf would say to that piece of work.
Wish you would've added Link coming for his sword and Platinum's reaction.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Ganondorf: That thing is way too thin to be a proper Dark Lord sword!
10025287
I thought about it, but i the end decided it would 'break the flow' of the Omake so to speak and take it away from the swords themselves. And as such I decided to keep things simple with one scene showing what Night Bringer was up to, and one scene showing what the Master Sword was doing at the exact same time.
10025328
Cool.
I love it... Master Sword doing exactly what Ganon would have wanted his sword to be doing...
10025288
I could see this Ganondorf giving it to Zelda kinda like a prank knowing it probably wouldn't corrupt her but still mess with her.
10025671
10025711
Hehe, Ganondorf given Zelda a cursed item just to see what happens, FOR SCIENCE!
Yeah, I can see that happening.
10026163
DEW IT
Ooooooo, can I have the evil sword?
I can put on goth Naruto make-up and be cool! (This will be totally uncool...)
10026324
If you can't dig up the ground around the sword, pour concrete on it until you have a big lump, then shape it into a table or something. Declare it a feature for petitioners to lean on as they address the throne.
10026799
And then watch as the mighty holy sword blasts the concrete every which way with a burst of light!
Remenber that in this Omake the swords are both sentient and semi-autonomous.
Considering the nature of the Master Sword, the initial ZAP is proportionate to the evil in the pony trying to pull her, right? Wonder how long it will take for them to catch on...
Of course, the stronger subsequent ones are Fi getting annoyed with the stubborn ones and hoping they either get fried or learn the lesson. One of the two.
10026863
That's pretty much it, yes.
10024907
My reaction as well.
This was great.
10027279
Glad you liked it.
Aww, now I want to see Swirly and Platinum's heads exploding when a pegasus saunters up and yoinks the Master Sword without any apparent effort or difficulty.
10027916
Yeah, that would be really amusing! 
Not gonna lie, I'm really hoping both swords being sentient makes it into the main story. There's a lot of shenanigans to be had with that.
10032133
I'm thinking about it, but as of right now I'm still undecided about the 'level' of sentience the swords will have in the main story.
10032591
Is it really cursed?
10085174
Depends of the point of view. It's a sentient magical blade that control darkness and flame, is quite bloodthirsty, and has no problem in controling the weakminded to do her biding. As such most beings would call the blade 'cursed'. Ganondorf on the other hoof really doesn't see what the fuss is all about regarding the 'useful' features he gave to his sword.
10085279
Is this his cannon sword?
10085286
Canon to the games? No. His weapon changes drasticaly with each one, I'm afraid.
Canon to my story? Pretty much, yes. The only thing that I'm not certain about is the level of 'sentience' I'll give the sword in it.
10032591
I mean, I don't know much about Ganon's sword to be honest, but the Master Sword has always had SOME kind of sentience to it. Especially in Breath of the Wild specifically, where it just kills you if you aren't strong enough to be the hero, or something like that. Any sword that's considered to be "evil's bane" or something similar has to have some amount of ego in order to determine what is and isn't evil.
Of course, how far you want to take that is up to you.
10104836
Indeed. But at the same time the level of sentience of the sword varies wildly from game to game, from barely nothing, like OOT, to full blown sapience, like SWS.
There is still time to ruminate about it though, so no rush.
10085299
if you do give the weapons sentience can you bring back Fi? Lots of people found her annoying but i found her way more interesting then Navi and the ending of skyward sword makes her fate really depressing (being stuck in a sword for for eternity looks like it would suck especially since she isnt ever mentioned again likely meaning she has no way to talk to link).
10104888
Fi as a character wasn't bad in my opinion, at least story-wise. It was just that the game mechanics making her both state the obvious constantly and over-repeat things again and again when there was no need to do so was extremely annoying. Exhibit A, her telling the player that a green rupee is worth one rupee for the thousandth time.
As for bringing her into the main story, like I answered before, I'm not sure of the level of sentience I will give the sword yet.
why didn't you have Link show up to claim his sword?
10104974
I wanted to keep the Omake simple with only two scenes, one regarding Ganondorf's sword, and one regarding Link's, and thought that it would be more amusing to show what was happening to the Master Sword at the exact same time as they dealt with Night Bringer.
10104983
I see!
Also this is just my thought, but imho the sword shocked those the touched or more or less depending on the worth of the ponies heart. As an example the more selfish and self serving the pony that touched the sword was the greater the shock. The more selfless and actually NOBLE a pony the less the shock, but still enough of a shock to discourage more attempts
10104998
That's very close to what I had envisioned.
The more 'darkness' a pony has in his heart the stronger the 'shock', while a truly good pony is able to touch the sword withotuh repercursions, not remove it mind you, but touch it withouth being zapped.
10105008
Hypothetical question here, but what if the Master Sword DID let somepony pull it as its temporary weilder, and it made sure to let said pony know? How else would it get where it needed to eventually be.
Another name for the Master Sword is Blade of Evil’s Bane. It’s very possible that the ponies getting shocked are ones that don’t have very good intentions.
I rest my case.
10105018
Canon fact: "Only a true hero may wield the sword of evil's bane!"
So, yeah, the Master Sword may only be wielded by a true hero, but there is nothing saying there can be only one true hero, is there?
10105022
Precisely, yes.
10105027
True!
This was just plain fun, I hope you do more.
This was just perfectly hilarious
