100 years later, in the present, the Master Sword remains in Korok Forest, the blade fully repaired; Link can come across several hints on where to find the Master Sword during his journey. When he does find the Sword, the Great Deku Tree warns Link that to test the wielder's worth, drawing the blade will drain their life energy and kill them if they are not worthy. To draw the Master Sword from its pedestal, Link must have at least 13 [[Heart Container|Heart Containers]]. | 100 years later, in the present, the Master Sword remains in Korok Forest, the blade fully repaired; Link can come across several hints on where to find the Master Sword during his journey.

The Master Sword is a metal [[One-Handed Weapon]], which cannot be dropped or put on display in [[Link's House]]; However, it takes up no space in the player's inventory, instead having a dedicated slot. It has a base attack power of 30, and a base durability of 40. However, if Link is in the proximity of [[Malice]] (either from being inside a [[Dungeon]], in the proximity of Guardians, [[Blight Ganon]]s, | The Master Sword is a metal [[One-Handed Weapon]], which cannot be dropped or put on display in [[Link's House]]; However, it takes up no space in the player's inventory, instead having a dedicated slot. It has a base attack power of 30, and a base durability of 40. However, if Link is in the proximity of [[Malice]] (either from being inside a [[Dungeon]], in the proximity of Guardians, [[Blight Ganon]]s, Calamity Ganon, or Malice itself), the blade will glow blue, increasing the attack power to 60 and vastly increasing the durability; The awakened Master Sword is the strongest one-handed weapon in the game. If Link attempts to throw the Master Sword, he will instead fire a Sword Beam if he is at full health, which takes 1 durability from the blade; Sword Beams deal 10 damage, and the range increases alongside Link's number of Heart Containers. Upon running out of durability, the Master Sword's blade turns black and loses its sacred property, rendering it unusable for 10 real-life minutes until it has recharged. | ||
The Master Sword can be upgraded by progressing through the [[Trial of the Sword]]. Completing the Beginning Trials increases the Master Sword's base attack power to 40, and completing the Middle Trials increase it to 50. Completing the Final Trials will awaken the Master Sword's full power, causing it to remain in its awakened state at all times, enabling Link to fire Sword Beams without draining durability, and increasing the durability to a whopping 188. | The Master Sword can be upgraded by progressing through the [[Trial of the Sword]].

The Master Sword functions similarly to its appearance in ''Breath of the Wild'' but like all other weapons, has been nerfed to account for fusing. When in the proximity of Gloom (either from Gloom-infected enemies, [[Gloom Spawn]], [[Phantom Ganon]], or Ganondorf), the blade glows blue, increasing its attack power by 15; Its durability, like all other weapons in the game, has also been reduced. The Master Sword can be fused like any other weapon, with the fused material remaining until the blade runs out of energy; However, the material cannot be recovered at the [[Break-A-Part Shop]]. When the blade is fused, glowing [[Zonai]] runes appear along the side, and the fused material will only appear briefly as a green apparition whenever the blade is drawn. | The Master Sword functions similarly to its appearance in ''Breath of the Wild'' but like all other weapons, has been nerfed to account for fusing.

It is based on the sword's first appearance before Ganondorf destroys it, and it can be used in regular gameplay through hacking; It has a base power of 30 and infinite durability, but cannot be fused without causing glitches. | ||

*Princess Zelda is the only character other than Link who is seen touching the Master Sword; She returns it to Link when the blade is knocked out of his hand in ''The Wind Waker'', she places the broken Master Sword into its pedestal in ''Breath of the Wild'', and carries it in ''Tears of the Kingdom'' after Link sends it back to her. It is implied that [[Rauru (Tears of the Kingdom)|King Rauru]] can also touch the Master Sword, since there is no other plausible explanation for how the blade was transported from the Depths to the Room of Awakening. | *Princess Zelda is the only character other than Link who is seen touching the Master Sword; She returns it to Link when the blade is knocked out of his hand in ''The Wind Waker'', she places the broken Master Sword into its pedestal in ''Breath of the Wild'', and carries it in ''Tears of the Kingdom'' after Link sends it back to her.

*According to the [[Hyrule Historia]], the Master Sword's hilt and the [[Ocarina of Time]] were both forged from [[Timeshift Stones]]s, explaining their similar colour and time-based abilities. | *According to the [[Hyrule Historia]], the Master Sword's hilt and the [[Ocarina of Time]] were both forged from [[Timeshift Stones]]s, explaining their similar colour and time-based abilities. | ||
*In the French version of ''A Link to the Past'' and the [[Nintendo GameCube|Game Cube]] version of ''Wind Waker'' and ''Twilight Princess'', the Master Sword was called "Excalibur" and in ''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''Oracle of Ages'', it was called "Épée Maitre" but was changed by the official French name "Épée de Légende" in the HD remaster of ''Wind Waker'' and ''Twilight Princess'' | |||
