The Sealed Weapons (伝説の12の武器, Densetsu no 12 no Buki?, lit. 12 Legendary Weapons) are twelve legendary weapons in Final Fantasy V. A thousand years ago, the people of the world used the weapons to defeat the necromancer Enuo.

After Enuo's defeat the weapons were placed in the Sealed Castle, sealed away until the day the Void that Enuo had unleashed would become a threat again. When Exdeath merges the two worlds by shattering the Crystals, the Void begins to consume the newly reunified world. With the joining of the worlds the two halves of the Sealed Tome also reunite, giving Bartz and the other Light Warriors information on where to find the four Tablets that can unseal the weapons.

Gameplay wise the Sealed Weapons are some of the best in the game, and all are very powerful for the point they can be acquired. However, there are a handful of weapons stronger, especially in the Advance release where the Sealed Temple contains many new weapons. For each Tablet the player acquires they may choose to unseal three of the twelve weapons for usage. The player can unseal the weapons in any order they wish, but eventually all twelve must be acquired. Despite the importance they hold in the story, the weapons are not actually required to defeat Exdeath, and though for purposes of plot the player must still acquire them, the game can be won without using them.
