In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the Master Sword is obtained by collecting the three [[Pendants of Virtue]] from the three temples in the [[Light World]] across [[Hyrule]]. Once [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] has them, he finds the Master Sword in the [[Lost Woods (A Link to the Past)|Lost Woods]], discarding any [[Fake Master Sword]]s he finds on the way.
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the Master Sword is located in a pedestal hidden in the [[Lost Woods]] of northwest Hyrule. An ancient text is inscribed into the pedestal, which reads "''The Hero's triumph on Cataclysm's Eve wins three Symbols of Virtue. The Master Sword he will then retrieve, keeping the knights' line true.''" Once Link has obtained all three [[Pendants of Virtue]], he will be able to draw the Master Sword from the pedestal, dispelling the fog over the Lost Woods in the process.
 
In-game, the Master Sword replaces the [[Fighter's Sword]] as Link's main weapon once obtained - it is required to dispel the magical barrier blocking access to the third floor of [[Hyrule Castle]], and thus is necessary to confront [[Agahnim]]. It deals double damage compared to the Fighter's Sword, has a longer reach, and has the ability to fire [[Sword Beam|Sword Beams]] when Link is at full health. It can also be upgraded into the [[Tempered Sword]], and eventually the [[Golden Sword]]. In the [[A Link to the Past (GBA)|GBA version]], the Master Sword can also break [[Pot|Pots]] with its swings.


In this game, the Master Sword can be upgraded to the [[Tempered Sword]] and the [[Golden Sword]]. In the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (GBA)|GBA version]], the Golden Sword can break pots.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] obtains the Master Sword in the [[Temple of Time]] from the [[Pedestal of Time]]. Link needs to place the three [[Spiritual Stones]] on the temple's altar, which can be found in the three dungeons from the Child Timeline across Hyrule. [[Sheik]] describes the blade as a ship that sails across time; obviously referencing the ability of it to take Link back and forth between childhood and adulthood. After defeating [[Ganon]], Link places the Master Sword back into its pedestal. This creates a split in the [[timeline]].
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Master Sword is kept in the [[Temple of Time]], specifically inside the [[Pedestal of Time]]. [[Link#Ocarina of Time|Link]] is sent on a mission by the [[Great Deku Tree]], and later [[Zelda#Ocarina of Time|Zelda]], to obtain the Master Sword and use it to stop [[Ganon#Ocarina of Time|Ganondorf]] from conquering Hyrule. The pedestal itself is locked inside a hidden chamber; to access it, Link must obtain all three [[Spiritual Stones]], place them in their pedestals, and then play the [[Song of Time]] on the [[Ocarina of Time]]. Once Link draws the Master Sword, however, he is sealed away inside the [[Sacred Realm]] for seven years, as he is too young to wield the blade. This allows Ganondorf to enter the Sacred Realm and claim the [[Triforce]] for himself, conquering Hyrule in the seven-year timespan. When Link awakens in the future, now an adult, he wields the Master Sword on his quest to free the [[Seven Sages]]. After defeating Ganon, Zelda returns Link to the present, before he ever pulled the Master Sword, and he uses his knowledge of the future to stop Ganondorf before his plan can begin, creating a split in the [[Timeline]].
 
In-game, the Master Sword is Adult Link's main weapon. It deals double damage compared to the [[Kokiri Sword]]. After completing the [[Forest Temple]], Link can return to his childhood by placing the Master Sword back in the pedestal, enabling him to travel between the present and future.
