Legendary shit is everywhere out here. I'm seriously up to my ass in legend.HS

In the course of MS Paint Adventures, several weapons have been described as being legendary.

Zillium weapons[]

While in Trickster Mode, the post-scratch kids recreate a series of legendary weapons from the seven continents of a magical kingdom from cherubim folklore.HS Each of these weapons costs one zillion Zillium grist.

Warhammer of Zillyhoo[]

Warhammer of Zillyhoo
There she is. Forged in fire by the smiths of Pipplemop, commissioned by the sage Lord of the Wozzinjay Fiefdom in the Realm of the Snargly FruzmigbubbinsHS

The Warhammer of Zillyhoo first appeared in a Problem Sleuth extraMspa icon (with the same flavor text as in Homestuck later), and as such has been known about for much longer than the other weapons. Even in Homestuck, it first appeared thousands of pagesHS before its counterpartsHS. It has been retroactively revealed to allude to the word "who" in its name. It falls under the Hammerkind specibus, and as such is usable by John. However, as John has since alchemized the Pop-a-matic Vrillyhoo Hammer from it, the Warhammer is likely to be left unused. Which is probably how it ends up available for the time shenanigans that result in it being given to Terry Kiser and ending up in John's possession anyway.

Battlespork of Zillywut[]

Spork of Zillywut
Plucked from the revered utensil drawer of none other than the Chieftain of the Trifletoot Clan himself, polished to a gleam in his loincloth by his devoted Abecedarian ButtersquireHS

The Battlespork of Zillywut alludes to the word "what" in its name, and presumably falls under both the Spoonkind and Forkkind specibi, perhaps merging them into simply Sporkkind. This makes it usable by Jane.

Flintlocks of Zillyhau[]

Flintlocks of Zillyhau
Each was hand crafted by the seniormost Artillery Hermit of the hallowed Schundermoist Caves, to be mounted in times of peace upon the Royal Burblemonk's personal Placard of DwibHS

The Flintlocks of Zillyhau allude to the word "how", and fit Jake's 2xPistolkind specibus. The Artillery Hermit of the Schundermoist Caves is likely a reference to Cave Story: a pistol is found in the underground home of a hermit gunsmith in the first level of the game. They were seen being wielded by Jake English.HS

Cutlass of Zillywair[]

Cutlass of Zillywair
Swashed from the buckles of the rough'n tumble Bellyjape Seamen and offered atop the kingdom's last known wildly occurring pluffy dimplepillow to the resplendent 1st Rumbylumplewiffig of the Horsehorsehorse AdministrationHS

The Cutlass of Zillywair alludes to "where". It was seen being wielded by Jade Harley.HS

Blunderbuss of Zillywigh[]

Blunderbuss of Zillywigh
Cast from the most priceless squippyclink ores mined from the famous whooping volcanoes owned and curated by the distinguished Maximillion Hotpocket Puckershuttle Junior, and then packed to the brim with the hilarious traveling Grief Miser's explosive winklepork snuffHS

The Blunderbuss of Zillywigh alludes to "why", and presumably fits the Riflekind specibus. This may make it usable by either Roxy or Jade; Roxy is more likely, given that Jade no longer has much use for a specibus allocation.HS

Unbreakable Katana[]

Unbreakable Katana

One of Dirk's amazing swords is an outlier for a few reasons, one of which being that the full flavor text for it was given over 1200 pages before the trickster arc:

A real hard sword for a real hard dude. It was said to be forged by an ancient Otaku Master over the heat of a roaring manga fire. It was cooled in an enchanted spring where virgin horses nicker and bathe, and was said could be used only by one whose pointy anime shades were deemed sweet enough, and whose hair existed in a perpetually sculpted state of looking completely fucking awesome.HS

During the trickster arc, it simply reads as follows:

A real hard sword for a real hard dude. It was said to be forged by a Japanese master over the heat of a roaring manga fire. It was cooled in an enchanted spring where virgin horses bathe, and

Yeah this is still just Dirk's sword.
HS

The Unbreakable Katana is still just Dirk's sword.

This is the only one of the seven Zillium weapons to not allude to any question word in its name, although a process of elimination would implicitly associate it with "when". Thanks to the naming mythos of the weapons, the katana implies that the magical kingdom has a continent called "Unbreakable" or "Katana". Unless of course we simply haven't been told its actual name. It also does not bear any similarity to the other Zillium weapons in terms of appearance.

Curiously, the Quills of Echidna are the only weapon to have been explicitly citedHS as being sufficiently potent to activate scratch constructs, and both known scratches have been carried out using them. However, Bro damages the surfaceHS of the Beat Mesa with his sword, an action that Doc Scratch confirmsHS to have started the scratching process. Whether this is a result specifically of the katana's Zillium nature, or merely that it is a sufficiently potent weapon, is unclear.

The unbreakability of the katana is defied in [S] Collide, where Dave cuts it in two using Caledfwlch. Given that Caledfwlch is allegedly a weapon to which Lord English is susceptible, its ability to damage a supposedly invulnerable object may prove relevant. (It is also possible that it's "Unbreakable" properties were nullified due to close proximity to the "Juju Breaker" Crowbar.)

Thistles of Zillywich[]

Flippety dippety doo bup bup shrubber double floppy mumblescurry noodlescoop pizzabubble pizzabubble mip mip mip mip mip mipHS

The Thistles of Zillywich allude to "which", and match Rose's Needlekind specibus. Whether they, like some of her other weapons, will also be Wandkind remains to be seen. The pure gibberish "origin story" of the weapon may be a reference to "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" or silly magical incantations generally, tying into Rose's interest in wizards, as well as Rose's earlier unintelligible speech while Grimdark.

Zilly Santa[]

Zilly Santa

The Zilly Santa is not one of the legendary weapons, and its grist cost is not stated, but given that Dirk has the FncySntaKind specibus, he may yet be able to use the kids' considerable quantity of these miniature abominations as a weapon at some point.

It was once hoped that even the ironies would not be sufficient to allow these things to ever reappear. That hope was misplaced, however, as Dirk uses a Zilly Santa to parry a blow from B2 Jack Noir during [S] Collide.

Other weapons[]

In Problem Sleuth, the Tectrix of the Arbitor is referred to as legendaryPS icon, as is its less innocuous double, TectrixcaliburPS icon. In addition, the Clown Pontificate has the legendary Hamper of the Jaded Fool's EnnuiPS icon.

Feferi and Eridan's weapons are each described as legendary; Ψdon's EntenteHS and Ahab's CrosshairsHS, respectively.

Caledfwlch is repeatedly referred to as legendary; the first instance of this is by Equius, to which Dave responds, its a legendary piece of shitHS. This becomes an ongoing gag, and Caledfwlch is referred to as a legendary piece of shit on severalHS subsequentHS pagesHS. On the other hand, Davesprite merely calls it a "legendary sword" when talking to JadespriteHS, neglecting "piece of shit". It is later saidHS to be a weapon capable of inflicting damage on Lord English, apparently reaffirming its legendary status.

The "legendary piece of shit" gag is also used by JadeHS to refer to Ahab's Crosshairs when Eridan gifts it to her, and continues in the next two page commands. Recap 3HS also refers to both the Crosshairs and Caledfwlch as legendary (but not pieces of shit).

It is possible there may be another legendary zillium weapon, as none of them allude to "when".
