Periodically, OGN visits the Dorklyst to see what is up in the best, greatest, most memorable, nerdiest and fun lists involving video games. Often times the lists are funny, but more often than not, they are nostalgic and take us back to the good old days with the magic thought: “Oh yeah! I remember that!”

Today’s Dorklyst is the top ten swords in video gaming history. Per usual, we won’t spoil the entire list but will (as always) reveal that a large percentage of the greatest are not the latest. Instead, those included in Dorkly’s hall of fame for blades are often pretty darned old. Nothing says classic RPG like an ancient sword, after all.

Just a couple of hints: you will see the Kingdom of Hearts, Baldur’s Gate and Chrono Trigger series in the lower tier. Of course the Lightsaber from the Jedi Knight series from the nineties HAS to be there. But what is number one? The infamous Soul Edge from the nineties’ SoulCalibur, perhaps? A unique blade from Blizzard’s Diablo franchise? Maybe the Dragon Sword from Ninja Gaiden? WarCraft’s Frostmourne?

See the full story to see if your favorite blade made the cut.
