 In this game, the Master Sword also has the ability to [[Skyward Strike|shoot beams of light]] and can [[Dowsing|search for people or items]]. This is likely due to the presence of Fi, the spirit inside the sword. After completing the game, the player can replay it in Hero Mode, which makes the Goddess Sword and subsequently the Master Sword's Skyward Strikes much quicker from the very beginning.

 The Master Sword replaces the [[Captain's Sword]] and features enhanced strength over his previous sword, and like its predecessor, a sword beam can be shot out of the Master Sword whenever Link has full health. It can be upgraded to deal more damage if Link acquires two [[Master Ore]]s and gives them to the [[Blacksmith (Hyrule)|Blacksmith]] in [[Hyrule]], and he can further upgrade the Master Sword if he takes two more [[Master Ore]]s to the [[Blacksmith (Lorule)|Blacksmith]] in [[Lorule]]. When upgraded, the Master Sword Lv2 has a red blade while the Master Sword Lv3 has a golden blade, much like the [[Tempered Sword]] and the [[Golden Sword]] respectively in ''A Link to the Past''.

 ===Background and Obtaining the Sword===
-The Great Deku Tree reveals to Link that if a person deemed to be weak attempts to draw the Master Sword from its pedestal, they will slowly lose their life. This means that Link must be powerful enough to draw the blade from its slumber and, unlike any previous incarnation, he requires at least thirteen hearts to successfully retrieve the sword (These hearts must be permanent [[Heart Container|heart containers]]: using consumables that [[Temporary Heart|temporarily increase Link's maximum hearts]] will not allow him to obtain the Master Sword). Note that the [[Horned Statue]] can be used to convert stamina to hearts to get thirteen hearts, even if they are converted back later.

 The Great Deku Tree will prevent Link from dying if he fails to lift it the first time, but Link will die upon further attempts with not enough hearts. Upon taking the sword, Link will obtain [[The Master Sword (Memory)|a memory of the sword being placed in the pedestal]]; however, this memory is not actually Link's, rather, it is [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)|Princess Zelda]]'s. Zelda placed the sword in its resting place after [[Zelda's Awakening|Link's near-death]], where the hero would come to retrieve it once more after his slumber in the [[Shrine of Resurrection]].

 Through memories, the Sword is shown to have travelled through time and appeared to [[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 grabs the decayed Master Sword and holds it in front of her before she transforms into the Light Dragon.
