Like in ''Breath of the Wild'', they are a part of the [[Yiga Clan]], and occasionally teleport close to [[Link (Breath of the Wild)#Tears of the Kingdom|Link]] after he has defeated [[Master Kohga]] in the Depths at the [[Abandoned Hebra Mine]]. They have an affinity for [[Mighty Bananas]], so Link can use this to his advantage during combat.

They have an affinity for [[Mighty Bananas]], so Link can use this to his advantage during combat. Blademasters are often encountered at various Yiga branches across Hyrule, notably at the former [[Akkala Ancient Tech Lab]], the cabin on the [[Great Plateau]], and the Yiga Clan Maritta Branch Cave next to [[Irich Plain]], where they are each guarding a piece of the Yiga Armor Set. They will also disguise themselves as trees with [[Mighty Bananas]] laid out as bait, appearing if Link attempts to collect the bananas or if he directly attacks the trees instead. | ||
The Yiga Clan Hideout no longer has any Yiga Blademasters that will attack, but rather a Yiga Blademaster NPC standing atop a high platform that Link can interact with once he has all pieces of the Yiga Set and wears them to infiltrate the hideout. This Blademaster will not recognize Link but assume him to be a new recruit, and put him through trials that involve him defeating progressively larger groups of Yiga Footsoldiers that attack him at once. When Link clears all of the trials, the Blademaster rewards him with the [[Lightning Helm]] and the [[Earthwake Technique]], allowing Link to use the same ground-altering attack as Blademasters if he isn't holding a weapon. Another Blademaster NPC can be talked to in the treasure room, and the pit where Link fought [[Master Kohga]] in the previous game is now a chasm leading to the Depths. There are no Yiga Blademasters that are encountered below the surface of Hyrule. | The Yiga Clan Hideout no longer has any Yiga Blademasters that will attack, but rather a Yiga Blademaster NPC standing atop a high platform that Link can interact with once he has all pieces of the Yiga Set and wears them to infiltrate the hideout.

*The Blademasters are given to pick up melee weapons that they find lying on the ground in a similar fashion as they do with bananas. However, they don't use these weapons, and once it happens, the picked-up weapon is effectively unrecoverable even if the Blademaster is slain. | *The Blademasters are given to pick up melee weapons that they find lying on the ground in a similar fashion as they do with bananas.
