It appears that Link’s greatest weapon serves an alternative purpose outside of its ability to repel Ganon’s evil. This sword can also be used as a weapon against your partner’s ex-boyfriend, as it did for Zelda fan Eugene Thompson of Texas.
During an altercation with his girlfriend, and her ex, Eugene armed himself with a Master Sword replica. Apparently this decision did not end well for Eugene or the other guy, he explains,
I heard him heading to the bedroom where I was, so I jumped in the closet and I grabbed one of my replica swords, and I pulled it out and stood at the doorway, and he was coming down the hallway at me while I was yelling, ‘Go away, you don’t live here’ and he just walked right into the point of the sword, I don’t know if he thought it was a toy.
Just like the Zelda series, the hero did not end up with the girl, as Eugene was dumped by his girlfriend and told to pack up his swords and leave.
