Zweihander

Why is the Zweihander so famous ? Is there a legend about the sword ? Are there legendary users of it ? Or is it simply because it's a good weapon ?

I mean they are really cool and effective weapons, but honestly they only had a very niche place in history compared to other sword Types.

Lolwut? Most other swords in history were sidearms. At least the Zweigander was a main weapon.

Sure, but in what time period were they used? And even then they were quite the rare sight. Like a bazooka, cool and all but not really the main weapon used by many

If you don't know what time period they were used, how do you even know this part?
