The Master Sword initially starts in [[Link]]'s inventory but is grievously damaged by Ganondorf's [[Gloom]] attack during the opening.

Upon Link's awakening in the [[Great Sky Island]], he will instead be in possession of a Decayed Master Sword, an unbreakable weapon with a measly 1 attack power, ensuring he cannot be without a source of damage output in the game's tutorial segment. By the time Link clears the Great Sky Island, the Decayed Master Sword will disappear in a flash of light, before the [[Light Dragon]] appears and parts the [[Cloud Barrier]], granting access to [[Hyrule]] proper.
Upon Link's awakening in the [[Great Sky Island]], he will instead be in possession of a Decayed Master Sword, a weapon with a measly 1 attack power, ensuring he cannot be without a source of damage output in the game's tutorial segment. Like its variant in Breath of the Wild, it will go into an auto-repair state once broken instead of permanently disappearing. However, due to the sword being decayed, it will be remain recharging indefinitely. After Link clears the Great Sky Island, the Decayed Master Sword will disappear in a flash of light, before the [[Light Dragon]] appears and parts the [[Cloud Barrier]], granting access to the rest of [[Hyrule]].


Through memories, the Sword is shown to have travelled through time and arrived with [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)#Tears of the Kingdom|Zelda]] in the past. Over the course of Zelda's time there, and especially after [[Ganon#Tears of the Kingdom|Ganondorf]] comes to power, Zelda realizes that she was sent there to restore the Master Sword to its full potential. As [[Mineru]] tells her, this would likely take eons to accomplish, and a source of power could not normally be provided for such a long time. Zelda resorts to the only possible method - consuming her [[Secret Stone]] and irreversibly turning into a Dragon. At the end of the memories and the past events, Zelda stands behind the [[Temple of Time (Tears of the Kingdom)|Temple of Time]], and consumes the Stone. She manages to grab the Master Sword and hold it in front of her before she transforms into the Light Dragon.

In the present, a restored Master Sword can be found stuck in the brow of the Light Dragon, who soars all around Hyrule. The Sword requires 5 [[Stamina Vessel]]s to pull out (temporary stamina will not work; Link gets a free, full stamina refill upon attempting to pull the Master Sword). If Link does not retrieve the Master Sword before confronting Ganondorf, then he will pull it out for free at the start of the [[Demon Dragon]] fight.
In the present, the restored Master Sword can be found stuck in the brow of the Light Dragon, who soars all around Hyrule. The Master Sword requires 5 [[Stamina Vessel]]s (the equivalent of two full stamina wheels total) to pull out (temporary stamina from meals or other means will not work). If Link does not retrieve the Master Sword before confronting Ganondorf, he will receive the sword from the Light Dragon at the start of the [[Demon Dragon]] fight, regardless of maximum stamina.


It is required to deliver the final blow to the [[Demon Dragon]], though other weapons can be used to deal damage up until the final scripted blow.

After Ganondorf has been defeated and the Light Dragon transforms back into Zelda, she is relieved to see that Link found the Master Sword, and that her attempt to restore it worked.

===Powers and Statistics===
===Powers and Statistics===
The Master Sword can be [[Fuse]]d like any other weapon, though it cannot be used as a fuse material for something else, due to being impossible to drop from the inventory. Materials fused onto the Master Sword will be irrecoverably lost, as they will be destroyed when the Master Sword runs out of energy and unlike other weapons, [[Pelison]] cannot remove materials fused onto the Master Sword.

The Master Sword retains its stats from Breath of the Wild, with base 30 damage and 40 durability. However, in the presence of Gloom, its damage output will double, including the attack bonus of anything fused onto it. It will get a full durability restore upon entering the Ganondorf fight.
