Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Sword of Shadows has the same attack stat as the Supreme Sword of Light. This can possibly be due to the Supreme Sword of Light being strengthened by holy power (and the power of friendship), while the Sword of Shadows is strengthened by darkness.
- The whole basis of its creation is a parallel to the overarching yin/yang theme of the game; its existence shows that light and dark are two sides of the same coin.
- Many characters comment on its unsettling appearance, and how it is much more fitting for a villain rather than a Hero.
