The Minish Cap: The Vorpal Blade

The Minish Cap: The Vorpal Blade




White Sword with three elements: By infusing the white sword with the additional element of water, Link enhances the white sword further. With the power of earth, fire, and water the white sword is more powerful and it can summon up an additional copy of Link when slashed in a circle about a place of power. 

With a snicker-snack this blade cuts through almost anything and slays even the most fearsome beast in one stroke. What if the blade is just an ordinary blade and the scabbard magically put a lethal edge on any blade sheathed for  a night and a day? Imagine what a well placed assassins could do with a vorpal butter knife or a keen edged icicle. 

----------

I will always look at vorpal weapons with nostalgia. My first DnD character was a human fighter who wielded a keen vorpal mercurial greatsword and was focused solely on criting as much as possible. That fighter was dominated by an aboleth and beheaded the monk my friend was playing. 

I also looked to the vorpal blade in the Fables comic series for inspiration when thinking up this simple blade.
