this 6-foot monster of a blade may very
well be the most iconic in the whole
series originally wielded by Zack fair
who passed a sword to his friend cloud
with his dying breath Briona my dreams
the Buster Sword is the default weapon
at the start of the game despite it
being the sword with the least amount of
capabilities it has become the most
personal and a symbol of one of the
greatest heroes in the franchise though
squall’s gunblade came close as a
runner-up

barriers lifting curses as a lightning
rod and it even turned to the nefarious
Dark Lord Ganon into stone
only the worthy is tup heroes will be
