This may be one of those obvious forums, but have any of you ever given thought to the aspect which goes into the worthiness of the Master Sword? I believe that because Link is solely chosen to be worthy of wielding the Blade of Evil's Bane that means there is something definitively special about him and him alone. Is it his moral attributes alone? I believe so.
Consider, he is the Bearer of the Triforce of Courage, does his tremendous valour in the face of true evil enable him to properly wield the full might of the Master Sword to vanquish malevolent forces pervading the land of Hyrule?
Perhaps the Master Sword can be comparable to that of Mjölnir, Thor's hammer. The inscription of the hammer often reads, "He whoever wields this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the powers of Thor." Does this, therefore mean, one who wields the Master Sword shall possess the full power of the Spirit of the Hero?
What do you all think? Do you think the Triforce of Courage enables Link to be the sole user of the Master Sword? To give credence to this, I recall that in Wind Waker, you must first collect all the scattered shards of the Triforce of Courage before entering the Trial of the Gods and then after which you became worthy to wield the Master Sword, but the blade had lost its ability to slay evil.
It's just something I've been pondering about before and thought it made for an interesting bit of debate.
