In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', the Master Sword was wielded by [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] prior to the [[Great Calamity]], after he was discovered to be worthy of drawing the blade from its pedestal in [[Korok Forest]]. In "[[Subdued Ceremony]]", the speech recited by [[Zelda (Breath of the Wild)|Zelda]] states that the Sword is bound to the spirit of the hero, and whether "skyward bound", "adrift in time", or "steeped in the glowing embers of twilight", it always comes to aid him. In [[Resolve and Grief]], Zelda reveals that she can hear the Master Sword talk to her, presumably referring to Fi. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', the Master Sword was wielded by [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] prior to the [[Great Calamity]], after he was discovered to be worthy of drawing the blade from its pedestal in [[Korok Forest]].

During the Great Calamity, | During the Great Calamity, Link wielded the Master Sword against an attacking horde of [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]] as he was escorting Zelda to [[Fort Hateno]]. During the intense battle that ensued, Link was gravely wounded, and the Master Sword's power was completely exhausted from overuse, the blade being reduced to a decayed stump. When Zelda awakened her sacred powers and shut down the Guardian horde, she had Link delivered to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] so he could recover from his wounds, and returned the Master Sword to its pedestal in Korok Forest so that it could recover, promising the blade that its master would return. | ||
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]]. | |||
The Master Sword is a metal, one-handed weapon, which cannot be dropped or put on display in [[Link's House]]. 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, or near Malice itself), the blade will glow blue, increasing the attack power to 60 and vastly increasing the durability; In this awakened state, the Master Sword becomes the strongest one-handed weapon in the game. Additionally, 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 depends on his number of Heart Containers. Upon running out of durability, the Master Sword loses its power and cannot be used for 10 minutes until it has recharged, the blade turning black to reflect this. | |||
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. | |||
