All Kingdom Hearts Keyblades

Okay, everyone knows what Kingdom Hearts is really about. No, not exploring stunning renditions of Disney worlds. No, not friendship, darkness, or convoluted lore (though it has those in buckets, too, and we mean that with the highest respect and adoration). We’re talking about those sweet, sweet Kingdom Hearts keyblades, baby. There’s nothing better than bonking some bad guys over the head with a ridiculously over-the-top giant key, then releasing their hearts to the sky and locking the door to other worlds like some epic dungeon master.

So let’s take a look at the massive arsenal of KH keyblades across the multitude of games. Success may not be the key to happiness, but a massive collection of keyblades might be. Or, If you’re looking for more help as you dive headfirst into this magical universe, be sure to check out our super in-depth Kingdom Hearts characters guide.

So, without further ado, let’s dive into the list of all Kingdom Hearts keyblades.
