The Master Sword was forged from the [[Goddess Sword]], a blade originally wielded by the Goddess, [[Hylia]]. During the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', [[Link]] is revealed as Hylia's chosen hero and removes the blade from its pedestal on the floating island of [[Skyloft]].

During the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', [[Link]] is revealed as Hylia's chosen hero and removes the blade from its pedestal on the floating island of [[Skyloft]].  


The sword is tied with a guardian entity known as [[Fi]], a being created by Hylia to guide the chosen hero. Fi helps [[Link]] in the forging of the Master Sword. This is done by exposing the blade to three [[Sacred Flames]] which represent [[Din]], [[Nayru]] and [[Farore]] respectively.

Each sacred flame increases the properties of the sword as well as the shape and structure. Farore's Flame forges the Goddess Sword into the [[Goddess Longsword]], a longer and sharper blade that does double damage. Nayru's Flame makes the Goddess Longsword into the [[Goddess White Sword]], making the color of the hilt white and enhancing [[dowsing]] abilities. Din's Flame changes the Goddess White Sword into the Master Sword. The hilt turns purple and green and the blade does three times the damage. However, the wings on the side of the hilt are not extended, and the yellow gem in the middle is not glowing. These are indicators that the sword is not yet in its true form.

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

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the state of the gem in crossguard seems to be indicative of the sword's power. When Link first acquires the unawakened Master Sword, the gem in its crossguard is dark, and the guard itself seems to have retracted toward the grip. Only once the sword has been restored to its full power does its hilt regain its signature appearance, and its blade again shines a mysterious light. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', the Master Sword is much longer and slimmer.
