The Master Sword is a double-edged longsword with no fuller and blue hilt, although in the artwork for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the hilt of the sword is golden. The sword's cross-guard is large and elaborate in relation to its pommel, and is similar to the seal of [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Hyrule's Royal Family]]. The [[Triforce]] is engraved on the base of the blade, and embedded in the cross-guard is a gem.

In [[ The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]], [[Link]] obtains the Master sword in the [[Temple of Time]] inside 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 you 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]].
