The hero receives a weapon that once was carried by his father or a more distant ancestor. Nine times out of ten this is either a sword or a gun, depending on the setting.
If the person who has it has a choice about who to give to, or even whether, may also fall under It Was a Gift.
If people want the hero to not Turn Out Like His Father, they will try to keep the weapon from him. Whether they surrender, or he gets it behind their back, he will metaphorically as well as literally take up the ancestral weapon.
If Magic, may flat out not work for someone not of the Heroic Lineage.
May overlap with Older Is Better when the weapon is older and more powerful than modern weapons, as well as with Legendary Weapon. When the weapon is passed on by the death of its previous owner (who need not be a blood relative), see Take Up My Sword.
Do not confuse with the gaming weapon class of the same name, which is more about how powerful or magical the weapon is and less about where it came from.

Aquaman:
David Kane/Black Manta's father Jesse gives him a diving knife that he says his father used in World War II.
The weapon Arthur Curry/Aquaman has had since his previous film appearances in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League is established to be his mother Atlanna's quindent. It is eventually destroyed, but Arthur later acquires his distant ancestor Atlan's trident, which grants him control over sea life.
Orm wields his father's trident.

On Adventure Time, Marceline's bass guitar is actually her family's axe.
In one episode, Finn and Jake's dad, Joshua, challenged them to traverse a dungeon to find their family sword, which is made out of demon blood. Sadly, it was eventually destroyed in a fight by the demon whose blood was in the sword.

Riva Iron-Grip's sword in the Belgariad: forged at the instruction of Riva's father-in-law, with a built-in clamp on the pommel for the Orb of Aldur (which makes the thing light enough to wield — it's portrayed as being roughly the same size as the Dragonslayer), it collects dust for a few centuries until Garion finally shows up to collect it.

In The Rise of Skywalker, the Skywalker Saber is repaired and wielded by Rey for the entire film. When Rey confronts her "grandfather", a clone of the late Emperor, she uses The Force to briefly lend the saber to Ben Solo to dispatch the Knights of Ren. After Palpatine regains his power, Rey uses both Anakin and Leia's sabers to shield and deflect the Emperor's force lightning back at him, ending him for good. The film ends with Rey burying both lightsabers at Luke's childhood home on Tatooine. She then ignites her yellow lightsaber, crafted from her quarterstaff, and proclaims herself as "Rey Skywalker".

Dragon Age:
In Dragon Age: Origins, most of the various Origins have the Warden wielding an ancestral weapon of some kind.
"The Hawke's Key" from Dragon Age II, which doubles as an Empathic Weapon that uses the user's own blood to fortify the seals of an ancient Grey Warden fortress, containing one of the first Darkspawn. Since the last person to use it was Malcolm Hawke, the protagonist's deceased father, any member of his bloodline is keyed to use it, but it's Hawke who ends up with it even if their sibling is present.
One of the DLC items is "Malcolm's Honour", a deceptively simple magical staff that's adorned with a carving of Andraste. It was created over the course of several years by Malcolm Hawke, as part of an ongoing side-project whilst he was in Lothering and demonstrates the sheer breadth of his magical knowledge.
Nathaniel Howe (Awakening) and Sebastian Vael (II) both have ancestral bows you can find and give them. Anders has a Dummied Out line on the similarity.

In Bleach, Nanao's zanpakuto is revealed to be a ceremonial sword passed down through her family, as opposed to her having one of her own. Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World expands upon this concept a little, explaining that most noble families have ancestral weapons that anyone of their bloodline can use in addition to their own personal zanpakuto, such as Muramasa for the Kuchiki family and Enrakyoten for the Tsunayashiro family.

Fire Emblem:
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and its sequel Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem:
The Fire Emblem shield (also known as the Shield of Seals) was passed down through the royal family of Archanea after it was forged by Naga.
Marth's sword Falchion was originally wielded by his ancestor Anri, who was responsible for defeating the dark dragon Medeus. In the intervening two millennia, it's been passed down along the royal family of Ylisse, Marth's descendants. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, it's wielded by the current heir to the Exalted bloodline, Chrom and by his daughter Lucina.
The Aura tome was originally wielded by Gotoh's pupil Miloah before he was murdered and his daughter Linde took up the tome. While other female units can wield it in the DS remakes, it is still primarily associated with Linde and is her exclusive weapon in the original NES and SNES releases and spinoff material.
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776:
The strongest weapons, the Holy Weapons, can't be wielded unless the user is a direct descendant of one of the original twelve heroes that saved the continent of Jugdral from the dark dragon Loptous in the game's Back Story (or a descendant of Loptous himself). It's subverted by the era of Fire Emblem: Awakening, where any character of sufficient skill can wield them; presumably, either the blood-lock faded over time or the Crusaders' bloodlines sufficiently spread to the entire population.
This turns into a gameplay mechanic in the second generation, where your children characters will inherit the weapons their parents wielded before them. Some notable examples other than the Holy Weapons are Leif inheriting his mother Ethlyn's Light Brand, Nanna inheriting her mother Lachesis's Earth Sword, and Diarmuid inheriting his father Beowolf's Beo Sword (also wieldable by Fergus, heavily implying the two are paternal half-brothers).
In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Eliwood wields the Durandal as his Infinity +1 Sword. While any swordsman of sufficient skill can use it in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, in Fire Emblem Heroes Eliwood's son Roy wields it in his Brave Lion variation.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn:
Ike's Infinity +1 Sword, Ragnell, was once wielded by Ike's father Greil, and would later show up in Awakening in the hands of his descendant Priam. Unlike the Falchion, though, this does not seem to be a requirement to wield the weapon (in-universe at least; the Tellius games still have it restricted to Ike in gameplay). Ettard, Ike's starting weapon in Radiant Dawn, may also have been one, it's never specified, but a flashback shows Greil holding a sword that looks strikingly similar.
Taken further with Elincia, whose sword Amiti, armor, and pegasus were all used by her great-grandmother. Amiti in particular is locked to the Crimean royal family and can only be used by her and her uncle Renning, although in actual gameplay it is locked to her inventory.
In Fire Emblem Fates, the "Heirs of Fate" DLC has all six of the appropriate second-generation characters take up their fathers' divine weapons (or mother's, in Male Kana's case).
In the remake of Fire Emblem Gaiden, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Rudolf is shown wielding the Falchion against Mila in a cutscene. His son Alm later takes up the blade for the climax of the game.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Heroes' Relics are a group of weapons once wielded by the 10 Elites, heroes of Fódlan's distant past, and passed down through their noble bloodlines to their descendants. Each of the main characters gains a Relic during the course of the story, and several supporting characters descended from one of the heroes gain one as well. While anyone can wield a Relic, regardless of blood or possession of a Crest (special powers inherited by a few of the heroes’ descendants), doing so with a unit without the particular Crest inherited from the weapon’s original wielder (or at least a Crest in general, though they still miss out on the Relic's unique Combat Art) results in gameplay-crippling stat drops, self-inflicted damage after a round of combat, and in extreme cases, horrific transformation into a grotesque monster. The Relics are in fact the bones of slain Children of the Goddess forged into weapons, with the Crest Stones within them being their hearts. The Elites gained their Crests from drinking the blood of the corresponding Child of the Goddess and thus the ability to use these weapons, with it being implied that the Relics are on some level still alive and thus their...violent response to being wielded by someone they don't accept.
The Sacred Weapons are a similar set of weapons once mainly wielded by the Four Saints, another set of heroes from Fódlan's distant past, though some of them have Crests tied to the Elites as well, and similarly passed down through their noble bloodlines to their descendants. While anyone can similarly use a Sacred Weapon without possessing its corresponding Crest, only those with them can bring out their full benefit such as Combat Art or a Healing Factor. On the other hand, these lack the more horrific side-effects of misusing a Relic likely because the Sacred Weapons truly are just weapons, albeit blessed with the power of the particular Child of the Goddess whose Crest is linked with it, hence why the Saints (who are all Children of the Goddess) used them exclusively rather than the stolen bones of their slaughtered kin.

Dragon Quest:
Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II have Erdrick's Sword, the weapon wielded by the Famous Ancestor of both games' heroes. In Dragon Quest III, you're the one that sword is made for.
There's also Mountaincleaver (or Sword of Gaia) in III, which you spend most of the game trying to track down and recover from a man named Simão, who's had it in his family for some time. However, the weapon itself is terrible for when you finally get it, outclassed by other weapons, and really more of a key than a weapon, as you throw it into a volcano to get access to the second last dungeon and sixth orb.
Erdrick's sword makes a sneaky appearance in Dragon Quest XI, as well, right before the last boss, as the "Rusty Blade". Fixing it — easily done if you know how (or if you've done the DLC quests that include the recipes) — makes said last boss... still Nintendo Hard.

In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Elrond gives Aragorn a sword called Anduril, a re-forged blade made from the remains of Narsil, the sword that was carried by Aragorn's ancestor King Elendil and was used by Elendil's son (also Aragorn's ancestor) to cut the Ring from Sauron's hand. (The sword and its origins also appeared in the original book, but Aragorn receives it much earlier than he does in the movie trilogy.)

In the Discworld envisioned by A.A. Pessimal, there was a girl in Howondaland called Johanna van der Kaiboutje. She was a Boer farm girl from the Veldt county who carried a standard agricultural tool, the sort of long heavy machete used to hack through stubborn growth or clear a way in the bush. She sometimes had to use it on stubborn people, but, maar, you live on a frontier where you have difficult neighbours. And then there's the odd war, where you have to grab such weapons as are available. Whatever you can pick up. After she married a man called Charles Smith-Rhodes, this weapon, bloodied in a couple of wars and neighbourly misunderstandings, passed to her daughter Johanna. Who had it enamelelled black, so it couldn't show up if used by night. A couple of wars later, it passed to her daughter Johanna. Who in turn passed it to her daughter Johanna. Who only had a niece to pass it to, but this niece also fought in a neighbourly disagreement or two before being exiled to Ankh-Morpork, where she was head-hunted by the Guild of Assassins. At the current point of the storyline, the Black Sword of the Smith-Rhodes family is with the sixth Johanna Smith-Rhodes, somewhere in the Howondalandian Jungles...

Quint Nakajima's Revolver Knuckles were split between her daughters Ginga and Subaru after her death, although Subaru does briefly use both of them in the final episode of StrikerS.
Lutecia's Asclepius was owned by her mother Megane, though she is merely retired rather than dead (having spent eight years in a coma after the same incident that killed her former partner Quint).

Naruto:
Kakashi Hatake used the tanto of his father in Kakashi Gaiden. The tanto gave off a white streak of chakra when it was swung◊, which gave the original owner, Sakumo Hatake, the nickname "Konoha's White Fang" Unfortunately, it broke when Kakashi used it to defend himself and Rin from a swarm of Iwa-nin.

The Night Unfurls has the Pantielle family sword. It only has relevance during the Liberation of Ansur Arc, where Kyril is tasked to find Michelle. Disowned by his family, he stole the sword which was supposed to be given to his brother Mikhail. Later on, Kyril retrieves the ancestral sword in the mercenary compound, after Michelle, who was having his way with Maia, tries to take him down with the sword to no avail. When he returns it to Mikhail, Kyril internally notes that the gilded weapon would probably break over his knee in one go.

RWBY: Most combat students in the series build their own weapons. Jaune is one of the few who hasn't, carrying an old sword and shield used by his great-grandfather in the Great Offscreen War. He's a little disappointed in himself about this, calling the sword a "hand-me-down", but Ruby encourages him to think of it like this trope.

Shannara:
The Sword of Leah in the Shannarra series has been passed down by kings and princes of Leah for generations. Due to the enchantment put on it by Allanon in Wishsong, it avoids the Ship of Theseus question because while the scabbard and hilt occasionally need replacing, the blade itself remains the same (Save for the time it was broken and had to be magically remade).
The titular Sword of Shannarra is an aversion, as while it is used by various members of the same bloodline as generations go by, it tends to be left in storage for centuries at a stretch between uses. It can also technically be used by anyone with the right mindset; it's people's belief that makes it a one-bloodline weapon.

Duncan used his father's sword twice in Highlander The first time was to defeat the immortal that killed him as a symbolic gesture of avenging his death. The second time was using it as a symbol of his true self when fighting off the Enemy Within created by taking a dark quickening (basically absorbing the essence of another immortal so evil it corrupted him).

My Father's Son has all the usual ones from canon, but the surprising twist in this story is that there's a regular recovery or new establishment of these as well. Dawn and Ice are already in hands without issue. Blackfyre was actually being wielded by Meylse Blackfyre, so Rhaegar actually has it now. Gerion goes on a quest for Brightroar like in the past, and finds it along with several Valerian weapons. Therefore, now there's going to be new ancestral weapons passed down by Jamie, Lyanna, and Dacey. There's also a moment where Rhaegar defeats an Ironborn house member and claims their ancestral sword saying it's wasted being in the Iron Islands.

BlazBlue Alternative: Remnant: Jin Kisaragi and Tsubaki Yayoi's main weapons are Yukianesa and the Izayoi respectively. Both are the ancestral weapons of their respective noble houses that have been passed down throughout the generations, though Yukianesa has been inert for a long time until Jin came to wield it. In Tsubaki's case, the Izayoi will only work for a member of the Yayoi bloodline, with her being the most recent member to carry it.

Pirates SMP:
The Denholm family's iron Royal Rapier has been passed down to Scott from one of his parents prior to the events of the series. However, it also has the downside of being a physical embodiment of the crushingly high expectations his parents have for him. On Day 132, he switches it out for a diamond rapier Acho finds in Kishi and gives him, just before stars passing later the same day.
Sausage's uncle Capitán Santana owns a sword that is said to hold the souls of everyone he has killed, and he intends to pass it on to Sausage himself when he's "ready for it". Sausage is led to it on Day 125 by the sword's Whispers, and proceeds to become Brainwashed and Crazy while in possession of the sword until breaking out of it in the finale, and ends up having to give it back to his uncle in his epilogue.

Discworld:
A Reconstruction in the book The Fifth Elephant. After saving the dwarven kingdom from a crazy plot, the Low King grants Sam Vimes with a dwarven axe. In keeping with the "tradition versus modern-thinking" spirit of the rest of the book, he goes on to indicate his own axe and explain how, despite having been given new handles to keep with the fashions, and new blades when the old one wore out, and in fact having been remade completely several times as time went by, it was still his ancestral axe in every detail-that there was more to the "ancestral" component than simply "his father handed him a really old axe at some point."note This is based on a philosophical paradox called the Ship of Theseus.
Carrot's sword. The dwarves that raised him found the sword in the same cart where they found him after a bandit attack killed his family, and it later turns out to be the Sword of the Kings of Ankh. When it first appears, several paragraphs are devoted to describing how plain the sword is and how nothing indicates it's anything special. It's rather well-balanced, though. It's actually so ordinary it's a kind of special. For example, it's so un-enchanted, it has less than the ordinary background level of magic. Carrot's ancestors didn't want a magical perfect sword that could pull all sorts of tricks; they just wanted one that was really good at killing other people. Indeed, its efficiency at killing enemies is supposedly part of why that first ancestor became king.

Aerith's White Materia in Final Fantasy VII that was passed down to her from her mother. Aerith claims the materia doesn't do anything and you can't use it directly since it's a key item and not a usable materia. It turns out that the White Materia is extremely important by acting as a way to call out to the Planet to summon Holy, which acts as a counter to Sephiroth's Meteor spell that he summoned from the Black Materia.

Prevalent among Orcs in World of Warcraft.
Garrosh Hellscream wields his father Grom's axe Gorehowl. Garrosh abandoning his father's axe in favor of a copy of it made by the Sha of Pride called "Xal'atoh, Desecrated Image of Gorehowl" is one of the clearest signs that he's finally gone off the deep end in Mists of Pandaria.
The Doomhammer. It has been passed down through Orgrim's line for generations, and its wielder is called "Doomhammer" as a surname. When Orgrim died childless, he gave it to Thrall, his best friend's son.
Broxigar the Red's magical Axe of Cenarius went to his niece Thura.
The Tauren High Chieftain Cairne Boodhoof's spear has been in his family for generations, until it's shattered by the same blow that fells Cairne, delivered by Garrosh's Gorehowl.

The title character and his brother use swords forged for their father and left to them as heirlooms. Not only are they inherited from their Father...they are MADE from their father. He ripped two of his own fangs out (Inu-No-Taisho is GIGANTIC in his true form) and forged them into the twin swords.
Kagome, as the reincarnation of Kikyo, inherits Kikyo's bow. Played with, since it's unlikely that Kagome is a direct descendant of Kikyo or her sister.

For the first five books in the series, the wand used by Neville Longbottom was originally his father's, a famous Auror who had been tortured into insanity by Death Eaters when Neville was a baby. Subverted, though, in that wands work best when either they choose the wizard who will use them, or the wizard wins their loyalty. Since Neville did neither, the wand doesn't work particularly well for him, and it's broken rather early into the fight in the Department of Mysteries in Order of the Phoenix. He gets another wand of his own in the next book, and it seems to serve him well for the rest of the series.

Additionally, if Vriska rolls all eights (8^y, where y=8) using the Fluorite Octet, she activates the "Ancestral Awakening", where she gains the outfit and Cool Sword of her ancestor, Spinneret Mindfang, in addition to a significant power boost.

In Knights of the Old Republic:
The flavor text mentions that Carth's blaster is an heirloom. In the second game, it's possible to obtain one like it.
A tradition mentioned of Sith, starting in this game and continuing in The Old Republic, is that their first lightsaber is recovered from an ancient tomb (the particular tomb in Knights of the Old Republic, that of the ancient Sith overlord Naga Sadow, is terribly popular for this). This is in contrast to Jedi, who build their own. Whether the lightsaber is actually ancient or just one left there by the master for the student to find, symbolically it is supposed to represent the link to the history of the Sith Order.
The comic also prominently features the Mask of Mandalore, which similarly to the Darksaber in the current Disney canon works, is the traditional mask worn by the leader of the Mandalorian people. Revan hid it after defeating Mandalore the Ultimate, but between the first game and its sequel Revan begins to remember his past life and helps Canderous Ordo locate and recover the mask, allowing the latter to become the new Mandalore by the time of the sequel. While veterans of the first game can guess who’s behind that mask by his voice and personality, his custom armor cannot be removed and his given name is only mentioned through dialogue.
Also features in The Old Republic. The Sith Inquisitor is sent by the spirit of their ancestor, Lord Kallig, to retrieve his lightsaber after the end of Act 1 of the class storyline.
Kallig also bequeaths his mask upon his descendant, presumably because it looks epic rather than for any practical purpose.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Darksaber was originally simply the weapon of the first Mandalorian Jedi, a member of House Vizsla. When he died, the Jedi kept it in their temple as was tradition, but House Vizsla attacked the temple to steal it. Ever since, it has been passed down through House Vizsla, who claim it is a symbol of their strength and authority to lead. In Star Wars Rebels, Sabine wins it, but then gives it to Bo-Katan so that she can unite Mandalore against the Empire. As of The Mandalorian, Moff Gideon has it — until Din Djarin defeats him and takes it.

In Blue Bloods, Police Commissioner Frank Reagan carries a .38 Fitz Special revolver because it's the weapon his father and his grandfather carried.
Discussed further with Henry's old "slapper", (a small blackjack). Frank says he never carried one, and as PC reminds everyone that they're not authorized. Danny uses Henry's old one anyway. Jamie wants nothing to do with it.

Roy Greenhilt's sword in The Order of the Stick belonged to his grandfather Horace. He's also named after it. However, when Roy died and passed on to the afterlife, it emerged that both Roy and Horace still think of the sword as belonging to the latter, and so, due to how belief shapes reality in the afterlife, only Horace still carries it there.

The Rhindon Sword in Leia, Princess of Alderaan is ceremonial by the time Leia gets her hands on it. Alderaanian princes and princesses take it up on their Day of Demand, when they declare their intention to be invested as heirs, and again in the investment ceremony once they've met their challenges, and when they're married. In the distant past, sometimes these young royals fought using the sword, but by now this is Star Wars after all and an ordinary, if cool-looking, metal sword is a bit obsolete.

The Kragg Swords in Eon are generally this. The Kragg pass these mighty swords through several generations, and sometimes they might end up in the hands of a PC. Unfortunately, by the time the sword is actually passed on to a PC, the durability of the sword is usually severely diminished, making it break in a matter of fights unless maintained.

In Exalted, even a common jade daiklave can be a legendary sword passed down through a Dragon-Blooded family line since the First Age. Taken one step further in Third Edition, where each artifact weapon is a unique marvel with their own evocations that can never be truly replicated, so every daiklave has the potential to define a family's reputation for generations.

Xenoblade Chronicles:
Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Several of the rare Blades are passed down through family lines, especially royalty. Of course, since the Blades are people, this means they usually end up acting like just another family member. Brighid and Aegaeon are passed down through the royal line of Mor Ardain, while Pandoria is passed from the kings of Tantal to their sons. Brighid is bonded to Mòrag and Aegaeon to the Emperor, though Mòrag ends up with Aegaeon after the Emperor temporarily dies. Zeke is Pandoria's rightful inheritor, but he stole her when he was running away from home, which complicates matters slightly.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Shania uses her sister Titania's Blade, a small but powerful pistol. This is complicated a little by the fact that Blades aren't quite physical objects, but something that can be summoned at will. Most likely, Shania simply chose to use the same Blade as her sister. She also uses Ghondor's Blade for a time, which is representative of how she is clearly trying to be something she's not.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed: Matthew's Blades, a pair of combat gauntlets, were passed down to him by his grandfather. At the very end, we find out that they contain Pneuma's core crystal, which is why Matthew can break Flame Clocks.

Vorkosigan Saga:
The Vorkosigan Seal dagger willed from Count Piotr to Miles. While mostly used for mundane purposes throughout the series, it is used in a rather disconcerting way during the Tau Verde campaign. It also comes in very handy during an academy training exercise. (Both in The Warrior's Apprentice.) It also plays a significant role in Miles' apology letter to Ekatarin in A Civil Campaign. The fact that it is a rare antique and belongs in a museum gets lampshaded:
In Captain Vorpatril's Alliance, they find a box containing a complete set of seal daggers from all the counts at the time of the Occupation. Ivan is staggered by it and uses it to show the nature of the hoard to those who found them.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and its sequel Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem:
The Fire Emblem shield (also known as the Shield of Seals) was passed down through the royal family of Archanea after it was forged by Naga.
Marth's sword Falchion was originally wielded by his ancestor Anri, who was responsible for defeating the dark dragon Medeus. In the intervening two millennia, it's been passed down along the royal family of Ylisse, Marth's descendants. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, it's wielded by the current heir to the Exalted bloodline, Chrom and by his daughter Lucina.
The Aura tome was originally wielded by Gotoh's pupil Miloah before he was murdered and his daughter Linde took up the tome. While other female units can wield it in the DS remakes, it is still primarily associated with Linde and is her exclusive weapon in the original NES and SNES releases and spinoff material.

In Shadow of the Conqueror, all sunucles (including weapons) are magically linked to the person whose blood was used to forge them—but there's a small chance that the link can pass to their eldest child when they die. Daylen uses this as an excuse for why he's linked to Imperious. The existence of his bastard children, all of whom are older than he physically appears to be, is one of the clues that tip Ahrek off that Daylen isn't who he appears to be.

Harry Potter:
For the first five books in the series, the wand used by Neville Longbottom was originally his father's, a famous Auror who had been tortured into insanity by Death Eaters when Neville was a baby. Subverted, though, in that wands work best when either they choose the wizard who will use them, or the wizard wins their loyalty. Since Neville did neither, the wand doesn't work particularly well for him, and it's broken rather early into the fight in the Department of Mysteries in Order of the Phoenix. He gets another wand of his own in the next book, and it seems to serve him well for the rest of the series.
Similarly, Ron Weasley starts out with a wand that belonged to his older brother Charlie, which similarly did not work very well for him. After it's irreparably damaged in a run-in with a Whomping Willow, he gets his own wand from Ollivander's.
The Marauders' Map may also count, although it's not a weapon. Harry gets it from Fred and George Weasley in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and he doesn't learn until later that it was made by his father and his closest friends. Harry uses it often in every following book in the series. Rowling later stated in an interview that Harry's son James got the map (by sneaking it from his father's desk).
And then there's his Invisibility Cloak. A literal ancestral item as it dates back to the 13th century to the time of the Peverells and it has been passed from father to son over the generations.
The Resurrection Stone is also one of these from one of the other Peverell brothers. He's the one that Voldemort was related to. In a flashback, Voldemort's grandfather says as much, but Harry doesn't understand what it means at that point.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn:
Ike's Infinity +1 Sword, Ragnell, was once wielded by Ike's father Greil, and would later show up in Awakening in the hands of his descendant Priam. Unlike the Falchion, though, this does not seem to be a requirement to wield the weapon (in-universe at least; the Tellius games still have it restricted to Ike in gameplay). Ettard, Ike's starting weapon in Radiant Dawn, may also have been one, it's never specified, but a flashback shows Greil holding a sword that looks strikingly similar.
Taken further with Elincia, whose sword Amiti, armor, and pegasus were all used by her great-grandmother. Amiti in particular is locked to the Crimean royal family and can only be used by her and her uncle Renning, although in actual gameplay it is locked to her inventory.

Wonder Woman: The God-Killer sword, treated as sacred by the Amazons and powerful enough to kill a god. Zeus forged the sword and gave it to the Amazons in the event that Ares returns. Diana steals it with the intent of killing Ares. However, when Diana confronts the God of War, he vaporizes the blade and reveals that Diana herself is the God-Killer. Zeus conceived her through Hippolyta so that when the time comes, she will confront Ares and slay him once and for all, explaining that only a god can kill another god.

In Mass Effect, where Wrex's personal sidequest is to find and retrieve a suit of armor worn by his family's ancestors centuries ago. Subverted though in that technological advancements since then have rendered the armor obsolete, and Wrex never actually uses it. Upon recovering it, Wrex's only outward response is to comment that "My ancestors wore this piece of crap? At least it's back in the right hands." After he says this, though, there's a note that mentions Wrex stopping to stare at the armor with a meaningful but unreadable expression. Later in the game, when Wrex confronts Shepard on Virmire, recovering the armor results in Wrex backing down without needing a Charm or Intimidate check, mentioning that Shepard has done more for him than his family ever did.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin explains more about the weapon and its relationship to the Belmonts and Morrises - the Belmonts, after hearing a prophecy that Dracula would be defeated for good in 1999, vowed to not use the whip again until that day, passing it off to the Morris family for safe keeping. Descendants of the Morrises can use the whip, but in their hands, it is just a regular old whip until they undertake a trial to unlock its full potential - but that power comes at the cost of lifespan, as revealed when Eric notes that Jonathan's father, John, took much longer to recover from his wounds at the end of Bloodlines because of the use of the unlocked Vampire Killer.

Steven Universe inherited his mother Rose Quartz's sword and shield. The shield is a special case since it's actually a summoned weapon created from the Gem his mother passed on to him (said Gem used to be her too). The sword is a more mundane example being a material weapon. However, Steven rarely ever uses the sword himself, having passed it on to his best friend Connie after she took up swordsmanship lessons with Pearl.

The two swords Lloyd receives near the end of Tales of Symphonia belonged to both of his "fathers." From his biological father, Kratos, he receives the Flamberge, which Kratos had been using for the latter half of the game and apparently for much longer than that off-screen and from his adoptive father Dirk he receives the Vorpal Sword, a blade Dirk forged himself. Together they're called the Material Blade and double as Sword of Plot Advancement.

A tradition mentioned of Sith, starting in this game and continuing in The Old Republic, is that their first lightsaber is recovered from an ancient tomb (the particular tomb in Knights of the Old Republic, that of the ancient Sith overlord Naga Sadow, is terribly popular for this). This is in contrast to Jedi, who build their own. Whether the lightsaber is actually ancient or just one left there by the master for the student to find, symbolically it is supposed to represent the link to the history of the Sith Order.

Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings inherits the shards of Narsil, the sword of his ancestor Elendil, which Elendil's son Isildur used to cut the One Ring from Sauron's hand 3000 years prior. In the books, the Elves of Rivendell reforge the shards of Narsil into Andúril in Fellowship of the Ring, and Aragorn uses it as his primary weapon for the rest of the saga. In the movie trilogy, however, Narsil isn't reforged into Andúril until Return of the King.

It can only be used by an offspring of its original wielder, who shares the same weapon class, no matter how many generations it has been in disuse. This allows your new characters to wield insanely powerful weapons at early stages.

The Elder Empire: Common, due to the way magic works. The older a weapon is and the more it is used, the more Intent it accumulates. This Intent will naturally make the weapon better at its job, and a skilled Reader can enhance this effect. Shera uses a pair of bronze shears that have been used as assassination tools for a thousand years and therefore can kill nearly anything in a single blow.

As a wedding present for Jon, Tony crafts the Valyrian steel sword Shadowfang, in the hopes that it will become the ancestral sword of the Starks of Iron Pointe.
House Bracken has Hate Eternal, so named because of a previous head of the House wielding it while declaring "eternal hate" for House Blackwood.
Gerion Lannister, now known as Nikolos Fury, is shown to have successfully retrieved Brightroar and now wields it.

Laughing Under the Clouds:
The Kumo family swords have been passed down for generations. They've pretty much rusted to uselessness within their scabbards over time and have become more symbolic than anything else. However, it turns out that they contain the spell needed to defeat the Orochi.
The Abe family sword has been passed down through the generations as well. It is currently held by Sosei but used to belong to Hirari generations ago.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Several of the rare Blades are passed down through family lines, especially royalty. Of course, since the Blades are people, this means they usually end up acting like just another family member. Brighid and Aegaeon are passed down through the royal line of Mor Ardain, while Pandoria is passed from the kings of Tantal to their sons. Brighid is bonded to Mòrag and Aegaeon to the Emperor, though Mòrag ends up with Aegaeon after the Emperor temporarily dies. Zeke is Pandoria's rightful inheritor, but he stole her when he was running away from home, which complicates matters slightly.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Shania uses her sister Titania's Blade, a small but powerful pistol. This is complicated a little by the fact that Blades aren't quite physical objects, but something that can be summoned at will. Most likely, Shania simply chose to use the same Blade as her sister. She also uses Ghondor's Blade for a time, which is representative of how she is clearly trying to be something she's not.

BattleTech frequently has ancestral Humongous Mecha; House Kurita is most explicit about this sort of thing, 'Mechs being passed down from one warrior to another much like swords were passed from father to son in a line of samurai, but many 'Mechs have histories that can be traced back decades or even centuries. In one scenario from an early gamebook, a pair of Mackies from the original production run, the first Mechs ever designed and roughly six hundred years old, are powered up to fight the Black Widow Company. Most such mechs usually acquit themselves with great distinction. The passing-down of mechs gradually fades away (but never disappears) as the Inner Sphere rebuilds its factories and infrastructure after the 300 years of total warfare deescalates and Lost Technology from before the wars is discovered, and especially after the Clan invasion introduces better-than-LosTech Clan mechs to the Inner Sphere.

Diana steals it with the intent of killing Ares. However, when Diana confronts the God of War, he vaporizes the blade and reveals that Diana herself is the God-Killer. Zeus conceived her through Hippolyta so that when the time comes, she will confront Ares and slay him once and for all, explaining that only a god can kill another god.

Tales of Wedding Rings has two of these, both belonging to the same royal family.
The Staff of Light is a Magic Staff that's been passed from mother to daughter in the Nokanatika family for generations. Krystal takes up this staff when it becomes clear that she and the other princesses will need to train themselves to fight alongside Satou if they're to have any hope of defeating the Abyss King.
The Nokanatika family has an unnamed magic sword that has been passed from king to king for generations. After Krystal's father's death, it came into possession of the Emperor of Gisaras, who gives the sword to Krystal's husband Satou in chapter 50.

In the A Song of Ice and Fire series, Valyrian steel swords (the knowledge of making it has been lost) are passed down through the lines of noble houses. These heirlooms are so important that even the most impoverished noble houses will not sell them. Tywin Lannister spent years trying to purchase one from another house since the Lannisters' sword Brightroar was lost at sea long ago. Too bad said noble houses would rather sell their daughters than sell their swords. After he gains possession of the Starks' Valyrian greatsword, he has it melted down and reforged into two new swords for his son and grandson.
The Mormonts have Longclaw, which was first passed down to Jorah Mormont, son of Lord Commander Jeor Mormont, but Jeor explains his son had the decency to leave Longclaw behind when Jorah fled the kingdom after being caught slaving. He later passes it down to his protégé Jon Snow, the illegitimate son of Ned Stark. However, since men of the Night's Watch aren't supposed to have children, it's not intended to be ancestral in this case. It's unclear whether the other Mormonts now consider it Night's Watch property, or if they expect to get it back at some point.
Dawn, the Ancestral Weapon of House Dayne. It stands out from the crowd by being forged from "the heart of a fallen star" (likely meaning meteoric iron) rather than Valyrian steel, inspiring the Daynes to name their ancestral castle "Starfall" and to adopt a falling star as their sigil. Whoever currently holds the sword is known as "Sword of the Morning", which is notable for being the only title in the Seven Kingdoms that belongs exclusively to the wielder of a particular weapon. Dawn also stands out because the Daynes don't automatically give the sword to the eldest son in each generation; rather, they give it to whichever member of the family is deemed most worthy of wielding it, and will withhold it if they don't believe that a suitable wielder has emerged yet.note  At the time the series begins, the most recent Sword of the Morning was Ser Arthur Dayne, a respected member of the Kingsguard—subtextually associating Dawn with King Arthur's sword Excalibur.
The Blackfyres—an offshoot of House Targaryen descended from Aegon the Unworthy's legitimized bastard Daemon Waters, "The Black Dragon"—outright take their family name from the Valyrian steel sword Blackfyre, which Aegon gave to Daemon after he won a tourney as a squire. Prior to that point, Blackfyre had been the Targaryen family's ancestral sword, making it an especially big deal when Aegon chose to give it to his illegitimate son rather than his heir—which inspired Daemon to rechristen himself "Daemon Blackfyre". This eventually proved to be a key factor in the "Blackfyre Rebellion", which nearly brought down House Targaryen for good: with the Targaryens' ancestral sword in hand, Daemon Blackfyre managed to make a strong case that he was Aegon's true heir, inspiring many of Westeros' nobles to support his bid for the throne.

Both Dante and Vergil's blades in the Devil May Cry series are keepsakes from their demonic father Sparda. Dante sort of subverts this in the first (chronologically second) game where he uses Force Edge, which belonged to his father but was not intended to be passed down to either of his sons and is given to Trish as a gift at the end of the game; otherwise, it's played straight where he uses his actual keepsake sword Rebellion. Likewise played straight with Vergil, who uses Yamato whenever he appears (either as himself or Nelo Angelo). After Vergil dies, Dante briefly wields Yamato before eventually passing it to Vergil's son Nero. Eventually, Vergil revives and takes Yamato back.

Subverted in The Three Musketeers (1973), where D'Artagnan bears a sword carried by his grandfather "against the Turks at Lepanto" which is given to him by his still living and retired father, who had carried it himself in his time. But it's broken in his first encounter with Rochefort.

In The Three Musketeers (1993), Musketeer-wannabe D'Artagnan bears a sword carried by his father, a Musketeer killed years earlier by Rochefort. After D'Artagnan is captured, Rochefort takes the sword. D'Artagnan later gets it back and uses it to avenge his father.

In Mortasheen, they directly say in the description for Oodoov that certain examples of this creature are passed down as family heirlooms. Of course, given that the creature's power to absorb pain tends to turn the user into The Berserker, surviving long enough to pass it on is easier said than done.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776:
The strongest weapons, the Holy Weapons, can't be wielded unless the user is a direct descendant of one of the original twelve heroes that saved the continent of Jugdral from the dark dragon Loptous in the game's Back Story (or a descendant of Loptous himself). It's subverted by the era of Fire Emblem: Awakening, where any character of sufficient skill can wield them; presumably, either the blood-lock faded over time or the Crusaders' bloodlines sufficiently spread to the entire population.
This turns into a gameplay mechanic in the second generation, where your children characters will inherit the weapons their parents wielded before them. Some notable examples other than the Holy Weapons are Leif inheriting his mother Ethlyn's Light Brand, Nanna inheriting her mother Lachesis's Earth Sword, and Diarmuid inheriting his father Beowolf's Beo Sword (also wieldable by Fergus, heavily implying the two are paternal half-brothers).

Legend of the Five Rings is all over this trope. A samurai's sword is traditionally passed on to their grandchild. Virtually all magical weapons are passed down in the same manner, most notably the "Ancestral Swords" of each clan, and the Ancestral Sword of the Hantei (Rokugan's equivalent to Kusanagi).

Record of Lodoss War does this with Parn's original sword, as well as his armour. When asked to receive the arms and armour of a Holy Knight of Valis from King Fahn, he tells the King that the Sword and Armour of his father. He takes the Shield though, lifting it in an Item Get!. This trope is later subverted when his father's Sword breaks, and Parn takes up the King's Sword of Light.

In Robb Returns, it seems that several First Man Houses had such weapons made of Thunderbolt Iron or Valryian Steel.
The Daynes had Dawn, as per canon. Alster Dayne passes it to his son Edric before dying.
The Starks, in addition to Ice, had The Fist of Winter, which was found in a hidden room in Winterfell. Once Ned finds it, he decides to retake the Fist as the weapon of House Stark's head, and passes Ice to Robb as the weapon of House Stark's heir.
The Durrandons had Stormbreaker, once the sword of the Storm Kings, hidden in the Durrandon catacombs. Robert, as a Baratheon descendant of those kings, takes it up when he finds it.
The Gardeners had Otherbane, the spear of the Gardener Kings, taken to Horn Hill in the aftermath of the Field of Fire. The Tarlys find it and give it to Willas, solidifying his hold over the Reach.
The Casterlys had both Rocktooth, weapon of the Casterlys and the Westerlands, and the Warnings, twin daggers used by Lann the Clever, all found in the Nightfort. Tyrion, who finds the last user's tomb, lays claim to all three.
Brightroar was once wielded by a Lannister lord, and finds a new Lannister wielder in Gerion Lannister.
Dark Sister, once the weapon of a Targaryen descendant (Brynden Rivers), is eventually given to Jon Snow/Stark by Maester Aemon.
While having the Dragonpit excavated and restored, Jon Arryn uncovers the remains of Ser Willam Royce (a knight who went missing and presumed dead during the Dance of Dragons), which is still in possession of House Royce's Valyrian steel sword Lamentation. Jon quickly determines to have the sword returned to Bronze Yohn Royce.

In Brotherband, Hal receives his father's sword. He considers it superior to the sword he was supposed to receive upon graduation. Unlike most instances of this trope, there's nothing particularly special about it, nor is there any relevance to it being his father's sword after the first book, aside from a passing mention or two. It's just a good sword.

This ends up being played straight in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV in a very roundabout way as Valimar, who is Rean's Humongous Mecha is piloted by Dreichels the Lionheart 250 years ago during his Civil War. Now, Dreichels and Rean do not have any connection by blood (and it's made clear that Rean's not even a noble), but it just so happens that Dreichels got reincarnated into the present day as Giliath Osborne, Rean's biological father. Before the final battle, this is even acknowledged by Valimar himself who wonders if he should refer to Osborne as Dreichels or by his present name.

In the new film continuity of The Force Awakens, it eventually falls into the hands of Rey, a new potential Jedi with a mysterious past. Time will tell whether she proves to be another generation of Skywalker to inherit the sword, or whether her receiving it rather than Leia's Dark Side son Kylo Ren averts this trope. Kylo himself instantly recognizes the lightsaber and declares that it belongs to him, only for Rey to beat him using it.

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: From the Book of Exalted Deeds, the Ancestral Relic feat allows even non-magic users (as long as good-aligned) to enchant an item by sacrificing wealth and praying over it; however said item needs to have belonged to a family member or revered mentor. It doesn't have to solely apply to weapons, except for the Anointed Knight Prestige Class, whose ancestral weapon can be further increased in power as they level up through alchemical secrets.

The Saga of the People of Vatnsdal: Aettartangi ("family pole"), the sword Ingimund got from the viking Hrafn by a trick, is after Ingimund's death worn by Thorstein at formal occasions, but wielded in combat by Jokul. After Thorstein and Jokul's death, it is carried by Ingolf Thorsteinsson, who wields it in his last fight when he routs a troop of bandits but also receives a deadly wound. Obviously ownership of Aettartangi signifies leadership of the clan.

Game of Thrones:
Valyrian steel weapons are so valuable that they are usually Ancestral Weapons. Examples include Ice of House Stark, which was gifted to the Starks by Aegon the Conqueror after Torrhen, the last Stark King of Winter, bent his knee. Another example is Longclaw of House Mormont, which Lord Commander Jeor Mormont passes to his protégé Jon Snow, the illegitimate son of Ned Stark. House Lannister lacks such a sword, so after defeating House Stark, Tywin Lannister has Ice reforged into two Valyrian swords for his House. One goes to Tywin's eldest son Jaime, which Jaime gives to Brienne of Tarth who names it Oathkeeper. The second sword goes to Tywin's eldest grandson Joffrey, who names it Widow's Wail. The Targaryens have two Ancestral Weapons of Valyrian steel — swords Blackfyre and Dark Sister.
Averted with House Bolton. Instead of having an inherited sword, they just have flaying knives — a "signature weapon" but one that isn't passed down from one generation to the next.

In Legacy of Kain, the Soul Reaver. It was forged by Vorador (the first human vampire) and is later used by Kain (the last vampire), who passes its spectral form onto his offspring Raziel. It's not only insanely powerful as a regular weapon, having both a physical and a wraith form, it's also the lynchpin of keeping the demonic Hylden locked up in another dimension.

In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1992), Sahashrala reveals to Link that he is the son of Hyrulian knights. This puts him in the running to wield the Master Sword, like Roam.

Warhammer has plenty of examples. The titular Warhammer — Ghal Maraz, the Hammer of Sigmar, is passed down from one Emperor to the next (although as an elective position the successor is not always a child of the previous incumbent). The Runefangs of the Elector Counts — badges of office as well as deadly runeswords — are also ancestral heirlooms. Almost every Dwarf clan has its ancestral weapons (the Axe of Grimnir passes from High King to High King) and High Elf princes tend to have several also (Prince Tyrion carries the blade Sunfang, which was first wielded by his distant ancestor Aenarion, and also wears Aenarion's ancestral armour). Not all races and peoples tend to go in for this, however — Skaven, Orcs, and Ogres have a remarkably blase attitude to both lineage and holding on to things.
Ghal Maraz is an interesting case because Sigmar intentionally left no heirs to his line because he wanted his Empire to belong to all the people who lived in it rather than just his dynasty. In a way, all of the people of the Empire are Sigmar's heirs. Including whoever eventually is elected Emperor and wields Ghal Maraz.

The weapon Arthur Curry/Aquaman has had since his previous film appearances in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League is established to be his mother Atlanna's quindent. It is eventually destroyed, but Arthur later acquires his distant ancestor Atlan's trident, which grants him control over sea life.

At the beginning of Final Fantasy X, Auron hands Tidus his father's sword. This is less out of ancestral honor and more pragmatism, since the city's under attack. And you can sell it at the first shop you get to, while the later Brotherhood Tidus gets from Wakka can't be sold.

In Delicious in Dungeon, Senshi's pot used to be an heirloom shield, but since he doesn't need the shield he repurposed it into a pot. Oh, and it's made of adamant capable of withstanding an undine's water jet (easily capable of cracking stone and punching through flesh like a knife) - not to mention that it's an unbelievably excellent metal for cooking with. He also molded the fabled mithril into a cooking knife, which...underutilization would probably get him killed by Namari.

Child of the Storm has several weapons associated with the Asgardian royal family.
Mjolnir, which was previously wielded by Thor's much older illegitimate half-brother, Vidar (who dropped both Mjolnir and his claim to the throne with some relief when an alternative appeared), who was also previously the God of Thunder.
Gungnir, which at least dates back to Bor's reign as the royal spear.
Ván, the Sword of Frey, the first divine King of Asgard. It's an extremely badass, if non-descript, bastard sword forged of an Uru-Vibranium alloy that was designed to take on Surtur and No-Sell Phoenix Fire - which it did, very effectively. However, it was a last-ditch move (the name literally translates as 'Hope', referred by Doctor Strange as, "their last, and their best"), and no one's actually seen it for over a million years since Frey took it into Muspelheim. Word of God has hinted that it's still around, and there's a hefty amount of Foreshadowing about it.

True Grit, two westerns, one released in 1969 and the second in 2010. Mattie, a 14-year-old daughter of a killed Rancher seeking revenge, carries her father's revolver (a Colt Dragoon) with her. Her insistence on using it in the latter film actually comes back to bite her in the ass when her first shot misfires on her, leading to her capture by her father's killer.

While it isn't a weapon, in Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Azimuth gives Ratchet his father's old Hoverboots (Ratchet can also purchase the Cryo-Mine, which were invented by his father). This trope is played straighter, and yet still not in the traditional sense, in the comics, where Ratchet uses Azimuth's dual-headed wrench staff in issues 5 and 6 (Azimuth was a close friend of Ratchet's father).

In Assassin's Creed II, the first weapons Ezio gains are his father's sword and his Hidden Blade. He loses the sword very quickly, but he holds onto the Blade for the rest of his life. When Monteriggioni is taken by the Borgia at the start of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, it's the one item from his old life he manages to hold on to, and it's with him again in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
In a less biological sense, the ultimate armor in the game (unlocked after completing every assassin tomb) is a suit of armor crafted by Altair centuries ago and locked underneath Monteriggioni.

Stormbringer and its twin Mournblade are these in The Elric Saga. They are only able to be wielded by Melnibonean royalty; in fact, it's believed that not even the gods are able to hold onto them.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Heroes' Relics are a group of weapons once wielded by the 10 Elites, heroes of Fódlan's distant past, and passed down through their noble bloodlines to their descendants. Each of the main characters gains a Relic during the course of the story, and several supporting characters descended from one of the heroes gain one as well. While anyone can wield a Relic, regardless of blood or possession of a Crest (special powers inherited by a few of the heroes’ descendants), doing so with a unit without the particular Crest inherited from the weapon’s original wielder (or at least a Crest in general, though they still miss out on the Relic's unique Combat Art) results in gameplay-crippling stat drops, self-inflicted damage after a round of combat, and in extreme cases, horrific transformation into a grotesque monster. The Relics are in fact the bones of slain Children of the Goddess forged into weapons, with the Crest Stones within them being their hearts. The Elites gained their Crests from drinking the blood of the corresponding Child of the Goddess and thus the ability to use these weapons, with it being implied that the Relics are on some level still alive and thus their...violent response to being wielded by someone they don't accept.
The Sacred Weapons are a similar set of weapons once mainly wielded by the Four Saints, another set of heroes from Fódlan's distant past, though some of them have Crests tied to the Elites as well, and similarly passed down through their noble bloodlines to their descendants. While anyone can similarly use a Sacred Weapon without possessing its corresponding Crest, only those with them can bring out their full benefit such as Combat Art or a Healing Factor. On the other hand, these lack the more horrific side-effects of misusing a Relic likely because the Sacred Weapons truly are just weapons, albeit blessed with the power of the particular Child of the Goddess whose Crest is linked with it, hence why the Saints (who are all Children of the Goddess) used them exclusively rather than the stolen bones of their slaughtered kin.

"The Hawke's Key" from Dragon Age II, which doubles as an Empathic Weapon that uses the user's own blood to fortify the seals of an ancient Grey Warden fortress, containing one of the first Darkspawn. Since the last person to use it was Malcolm Hawke, the protagonist's deceased father, any member of his bloodline is keyed to use it, but it's Hawke who ends up with it even if their sibling is present.

In the Star Wars Legends, he recovers the one Anakin used, and gives it to Mara Jade. Given some of Zahn's opinions on the matter, it seems this was meant to be sort of like giving her a ring that costs two months' salary. Turns out it was about ten years early. Other parts of the EU make the gift of a lightsaber something that represents a profound bond.
Apparently it's a family heirloom now; Ben's holding it on the cover for Backlash, and the Legacy Era Campaign Guide says it was passed down through the line, though where it is by 137 ABY is unknown.

Rifts has the Ascended Glitter Boy character class, which is a Gitter Boy pilot whose power armor suit has been handed down generation after generation since the Time of Man. Given how hard it is to repair Glitter Boy armor even in the main setting, it's a testament to their hardiness that they've survived for roughly 300 years on a Crapsack World like Rifts Earth.

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
Negi Springfield uses his (famous and extremely powerful) father's staff as his primary weapon, at least until he gets a magic ring that allows him to cast spells emptyhanded (several other characters use a similar device), which fits his fighting style much better. He still occasionally uses the staff, though. Notably by turning it into a giant lightning halberd.
It was hinted (but not explicitly said) that Yuuna Akashi's magical artifact previously belonged to her deceased mother.

The Bridge: The Hurricane Lance was first used by Commander Hurricane, then it was passed to his daughter Ardent Sentry. It is not strictly an ancestral weapon because it is always passed to the current Captain of the Royal Guard; it's just that most of the time, it is a member of the Sentry Family. Flash Sentry's father Stalwart Sentry passed it to his successor Blueberry Frost since Flash was too young for the position.

A central part of your player character's backstory in BattleTech is how you came to own your family's ancestral BattleMech. Sometimes it is all you have left of your family, sometimes you took it and fled, but players always start with the family 'Mech, typically an ancient Blackjack. Bits of lore imply it is one of the very first of the BJ-1 series when it released, and was passed down for generations, due to the player's family being minor nobility and able to afford to keep it in the family.

Marth's sword Falchion was originally wielded by his ancestor Anri, who was responsible for defeating the dark dragon Medeus. In the intervening two millennia, it's been passed down along the royal family of Ylisse, Marth's descendants. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, it's wielded by the current heir to the Exalted bloodline, Chrom and by his daughter Lucina.

If you do a long sidequest in Tales of the Abyss you can get Guy one. It's the Jewel of Gardios and after the Hod War and death of the rest of his family, Duke Fabre took with him and hung it in the entrance hall of his manor. Getting it back is also a Friendship Moment between Guy and Luke as he immediately swears fealty to him as he once promised. It's quite useful on a second playthrough as it works as an Infinity -1 Sword as equipping it allows access to his second Limit Break.

In P.C. Hodgell's Chronicles of the Kencyrath, Jame carries her father's broken sword, Kinslayer, to return to her brother; it is reforged, but in a subversion, by the enemy. Jame comes across it within the Master's House and retrieves it, and discovers that its legendary ability to cut its way through enemies like butter remains, along with its fearful joy in slaying; the name is hardly auspicious in that regard, either...

Several families have ancestral swords in The Shadowhunter Chronicles:
In The Mortal Instruments Clary gets Heosphorus ("dawn-bringer"), one of two swords her father commissioned that was specifically meant to be an Ancestral weapon for the Morgensern family. Her brother Sebastion/Jonathan has the other one named Phaesphorus ("light-bringer"). Heosphorus eventually gets destroyed after Clary uses it to kill her brother.
In The Dark Artifices: Emma is the current owner of Cortana, the Carstairs family sword, which she inherited after her father's death in City of Heavenly Fire. Cortana is a very special sword since it was made by Wayland the Smith (the first Shadowhunter weapon maker) alongside Durendal and Joyeuse. Cortana is even capable of shattering the Mortal Sword.

The Dragonlance stories have several instances of this:
Sturm Brightblade wears his father's armor. He also wields the Brightblade which is described as a "....splendid, if old-fashioned, two-handed sword" and it gets handed down to Sturm's son, Steel Brightblade.
Also, Raistlin Majere passed down a powerful magical artifact he was given, the Staff of Magius, to his nephew Palin Majere.

Harry and the Shipgirls:
The Potters have picked up a whole armory of weapons, but one blade that is recognized and feared as the Potter Honor Blade is Juuchi Yosamu, due to the Potters being some of the only people who can resist the Hate Plague that said weapons forces on its wielders.
The Longbottoms, meanwhile, have a counterpart to Juuchi in the battle-axe Blood Embers, which basically turns its wielders into a controlled version of The Berserker.

Kingdom Hearts 3: Final Stand has Dawn's Might, a katana that is a family heirloom from Kairi's birth mother Rimi's side of the family. It is traditionally handed down to the oldest son when he finds the woman he loves or to the man who loves the eldest daughter when he meets the father's approval. In chapter 30, the ghost of Kairi's birth father Kaname gives the blade to Sora.

Sailor Moon:
The titular character inherits the Silver Crystal from the ancestral Moon Kingdom.
In the manga and in Crystal, the Cutie Moon Rod was stated to have belonged to Queen Serenity (and implied in the 90's anime). It then becomes Sailor Moon's weapon in the second arc and when she became Neo-Queen Serenity, she continued to wield it until giving it to her daughter so she would be able to help her younger self.
