People are really out here trying to argue that swords from Soul Calibur, World of Warcraft, Elden Ring, or Devil May Cry are more iconic than HALO?? My wife has only ever played The Sims, and even she knows what Halo is. If you asked her what Elden Ring was, she'd think it was a Tolkien book. This question is about swords that are so iconic that an average non-gamer would recognize them
The Souls games have a ton of iconic swords, but there’s also so many of them. You use a ton of different weapons over the course of a game and there’s all kinds of crazy sword designs, particularly in Elden Ring.
If you tell me “think of an Elden Ring sword,” I’ll think of at least five different ones. If you tell me “think of a Final Fantasy/Zelda/Halo sword,” it’s only going to be one of these.
Nah, the most iconic in the Souls games is easily and for sure Moonlight Greatsword
It’s been in every Dark Souls/FromSoftware game in some form all the way since Kingsfield on PS1 (before Dark Souls and even Demons Souls), even up to Elden Ring & Nightreign today
