A sword wields no strength unless the hand that holds it has courage.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The Hero’s Shade makes courage the condition that gives skill and equipment their value. The instruction directs Link’s attention to his own resolve rather than the weapon alone. The retained dialogue uses the singular “hand”, correcting the discovery transcription.
