!Weapon
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] is instructed to find the Master Sword by [[Saharasla]], in order to defeat [[Agahnim]] and stop him from conquering [[Hyrule]]. The Master Sword is kept deep in the [[Lost Woods (A Link to the Past)|Lost Woods]], accessed through a log tunnel in the northwest corner of the woods; A prophecy is inscribed into the Sword's pedestal in ancient [[Hylian]], which can be translated using the [[Book of Mudora]]. To obtain the Master Sword, Link must first obtain all three [[Pendants of Virtue]], which enable him to pull the blade out.

===Ocarina of Time===
|[[File:Dragonbone Boko Club - HWAoC icon.png|100px]]<br/>[[Dragonbone Boko Club]]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Master Sword is kept in a hidden chamber in the [[Temple of Time (Ocarina of Time)|Temple of Time]], behind the [[Door of Time]]; The Sword serves as a seal to separate Hyrule from the [[Sacred Realm]], protecting the [[Triforce]] from falling into the wrong hands. During the events of the game, [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] is sent on a quest by the [[Great Deku Tree]] (and later [[Princess Zelda]]) to obtain the three [[Spiritual Stones]] and enter the Sacred Realm, so that he may claim the Triforce before Ganondorf does. After Link opens the Door of Time by placing the Spiritual Stones on their respective pedestals and playing the [[Song of Time]], he gains access to the hidden chamber, and pulls the Master Sword from the [[Pedestal of Time]]. However, since Link is too young to become the hero of time, his spirit is sealed inside the [[Chamber of Sages]] for seven years until he has come of age; During this time, Ganondorf enters the Sacred Realm, claims the [[Triforce of Power]], and conquers Hyrule as the King of Evil.
|
 
|
The Master Sword is Adult Link's default weapon. It deals double damage compared to the [[Kokiri Sword]] and has a longer reach; Additionally, the Master Sword is the only weapon which deals normal damage against Ganon. After completing the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]] and meeting [[Sheik]] at the Temple of Time, Link can use the Master Sword to travel through time; Placing it back in the pedestal sends him back to the child era, before Ganondorf becomes the King of Evil, while drawing it again returns him to the adult era. After Ganondorf is defeated and banished, Zelda sends Link back to the child era with the [[Ocarina of Time]] so he can regain his childhood; The young hero leaves the Master Sword in the Temple of Time, preventing the seal from ever breaking.

===Oracle of Seasons & Oracle of Ages===
|This Bokoblin club has been reinforced with fossilized bones to maximize clobbering potential. Only the brawniest of Bokoblins can manage its immense weight.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', the Master Sword is an optional sword upgrade that can only be obtained in a [[Linked Game]]. To obtain it, [[Link (Oracle Games)|Link]] must receive a sword upgrade with the [[Noble Sword]] in hand; This is done either by completing the [[Trading Sequence]], or via either the [[Clock Shop Secret]] or [[King Zora Secret]] (depending on the game). If Link obtains one of these upgrades with the [[Wooden Sword]], he will receive the Noble Sword instead, and the Master Sword is located via the other upgrade.

The Master Sword replaces the Noble Sword once obtained. It deals double damage compared to the Noble Sword (quadruple damage compared to the Wooden Sword, making it the most versatile sword in the game. Uniquely, the Master Sword in the ''Oracle'' games is not the real Master Sword, but merely the Noble Sword tempered to match its power; The replica resembles the Noble Sword, but is blue and features a second pair of prongs on the bottom of the cross-guard.

===The Wind Waker===

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Master Sword is kept in a hidden chamber in [[Hyrule Castle (The Wind Waker)|Hyrule Castle]]; While the Hero of Time returned to his era and left the Master Sword in the Pedestal of Time, the version of the Sword he used remained in the adult era, and was taken into safekeeping. The chamber features stained-glass windows depicting each of the Seven Sages, to memorialize the legend of ''Ocarina of Time''. Once again, the Master Sword maintains a seal, this time keeping time frozen in Hyrule Castle and weakening Ganondorf's magic; However, [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] unknowingly draws the Master Sword from the pedestal after being instructed by the [[King of Red Lions]]; As a result, time in Hyrule Castle begins to flow again, and Ganondorf's magic is fully restored.

|Knights of [[Hyrule]] carry this sword. This blade is highly valued thanks to its ease of use and high attack power.
The Master Sword replaces the [[Hero's Sword]] once obtained; It deals double damage, and has a longer reach. However, Link later learns that Ganondorf has had the original Sages of Earth and Wind, [[Laruto]] and [[Fado]], murdered, and without their prayers to maintain its strength, the Master Sword has dulled and lost its sacred power. In its dulled state, the cross-guard is curved into the blade rather than extending outwards, the gem on the base is black rather than gold, the Triforce symbol on the ricasso is gone, and the blade has lost its shine. After Link awakens [[Medli]] and [[Makar]] as the new Sages, their prayers restore the Master Sword's power; Medli's prayers restore the cross-guard to its original position, while Makar's restore the gem, Triforce symbol, and shine. Once both Sages are awakened, the Master Sword regains the power to repel evil, and can destroy the magical barrier blocking access to [[Ganon's Tower (The Wind Waker)|Ganon's Tower]].

{{Quote|The legendary sword that seals the darkness. Its blade gleams with a sacred luster that can oppose the Calamity. Only a hero chosen by the sword itself may wield it.|[[Hyrule Compendium]] description, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''}}
|
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', the Master Sword was wielded by [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] prior to the [[Great Calamity]], after he was discovered to be worthy of drawing the blade from its pedestal in [[Korok Forest]]. In "[[Subdued Ceremony]]", the speech recited by [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)|Zelda]] states that the Sword is bound to the spirit of the hero, and whether "skyward bound", "adrift in time", or "steeped in the glowing embers of twilight", it always comes to aid him. In "[[Resolve and Grief]]", Zelda reveals that she can hear the Master Sword talk to her, presumably referring to Fi.
|
 
|
During the Great Calamity, Link wielded the Master Sword against an attacking horde of [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]] as he was escorting Zelda to [[Fort Hateno]]. During the intense battle that ensued, Link was gravely wounded, and the Master Sword's power was completely exhausted from overuse, the blade being reduced to a decayed stump. When Zelda awakened her sacred powers and shut down the Guardian horde, she had Link delivered to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] so he could recover from his wounds, and returned the Master Sword to its pedestal in Korok Forest so that it could recover, promising the blade that its master would return.
|This [[Lynel]]-made sword was designed with smashing in mind rather than slicing. It's on the heavy side compared to what Hylians are used to, but it's very strong.
 
|}
100 years later, in the present, the Master Sword remains in Korok Forest, the blade fully repaired; Link can come across several hints on where to find the Master Sword during his journey. When he does find the Sword, the Great Deku Tree warns Link that to test the wielder's worth, drawing the blade will drain their life energy and kill them if they are not worthy. To draw the Master Sword from its pedestal, Link must have at least 13 [[Heart Container|Heart Containers]].
 
The Master Sword is a metal, one-handed weapon, which cannot be dropped or put on display in [[Link's House]]. It has a base attack power of 30, and a base durability of 40. However, if Link is in the proximity of [[Malice]] (either from being inside a [[Dungeon]], in the proximity of Guardians, or near Malice itself), the blade will glow blue, increasing the attack power to 60 and vastly increasing the durability; In this awakened state, the Master Sword becomes the strongest one-handed weapon in the game. Additionally, if Link attempts to throw the Master Sword, he will instead fire a Sword Beam if he is at full health, which takes 1 durability from the blade; Sword Beams deal 10 damage, and the range depends on his number of Heart Containers. Upon running out of durability, the Master Sword loses its power and cannot be used for 10 minutes until it has recharged, the blade turning black to reflect this.
 
The Master Sword can be upgraded by progressing through the [[Trial of the Sword]]. Completing the Beginning Trials increases the Master Sword's base attack power to 40, and completing the Middle Trials increase it to 50. Completing the Final Trials will awaken the Master Sword's full power, causing it to remain in its awakened state at all times, enabling Link to fire Sword Beams without draining durability, and increasing the durability to a whopping 188.
 
===Tears of the Kingdom===
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]'', the Master Sword was returned to its pedestal sometime after the events of the previous game, to recharge following Calamity Ganon's defeat. When [[Gloom]] begins to leak from [[Beneath Hyrule Castle]], Link and Zelda retrieve the sword to use during their investigation; The Great Deku Tree explains that the Master Sword has been restored to its full power, and reveals that it has the ability to grow stronger when exposed to sacred light, potentially with no limit. Later, when the two confront Ganondorf's mummified body in the [[Imprisoning Chamber]], Link attempts to use the Master Sword to block a steam of Gloom directed at Zelda; The Gloom corrodes and shatters the blade into pieces, although the tip cuts Ganondorf's cheek as it flies off. Ganondorf recognizes the Master Sword for what it is, and expresses disappointment at having defeated Link so easily. When the [[Upheaval]] begins and Zelda falls into the chasm below, Link tosses the destroyed Master Sword aside to try and save her.
 
When Link recovers in the [[Room of Awakening]], he finds the '''Decayed Master Sword''' stuck in a nearby rock, with only the hilt and decayed ricasso still intact. In this state, the Master Sword has lost all of its power, with a base damage of 1 and a durability of 5; It cannot be [[Fuse|fused]], and will not recharge after running out of energy, making it the worst weapon in the game. However, it is required in order to get past several vine walls that block Link's path in the Room of Awakening. Later, after Link passes through the [[Temple of Time (Tears of the Kingdom)|Temple of Time]], he discovers a pedestal with a glowing yellow light shining from it; The Master Sword instructs him to place it on the pedestal. When Link does so, the blade is sent back in time via [[Recall]], where it is retrieved by Zelda in the distant past.
 
The Master Sword assures Zelda that Link is safe in the present, and that it was sent back so that it could recover its strength to face Ganondorf. Now understanding why she was sent back in time, Zelda comes up with a plan to [[Draconification|draconify]] herself, enabling the Master Sword to absorb sacred light over millennia and return to its former glory. After [[Mineru]] seals her spirit in the [[Purah Pad]], the rest of the [[Seven Sages]] promise to pass on their abilities to their descendants, and the [[Great Sky Island]] is equipped with everything Link needs to recover, Zelda swallows a [[Secret Stone]] and transforms into the [[Light Dragon]], the Master Sword becoming embedded in a growth on her forehead.
 
In the present, after Link awakens Mineru, she advises that he recover the Master Sword. To locate the blade, Link must defeat the [[Phantom Ganon]] inside the [[Deku Tree Chasm]] and purge the Gloom-corrupted fog from Korok Forest; The recovered Great Deku Tree will then mark the Light Dragon's current position on the map. When Link attempts to pull the Master Sword, the Light Dragon reacts in pain and attempts to shake him off; Link needs at least two complete [[Stamina|Stamina Wheels]] to hold on until the Light Dragon calms down and the growth retracts. Once successful, Link draws the Master Sword; The decayed blade has been replaced with one made from the Light Dragon's crystal, and its power is restored. If Link did not already retrieve the Master Sword, he draws it during the battle against the [[Demon Dragon]].
