'''One-handed weapons''' are a category of weapons in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. One-handed weapons have many differences from other ''Breath Of The Wild'' weapons categories. When you preform a [[Perfect Dodge]] and get a [[Flurry Rush]], you will get 8 hits out of it. One-handed weapons are lighter, and therefore quicker, but require four hits before a critical hit. Holding the attack button charges up a [[Spin Attack]]. [[Link]] can use a [[Shield]] while a one-handed weapon is drawn.

The Master Sword can be found in a pedestal in the [[Korok Forest]], guarded by the [[Great Deku Tree]].

Initially, it has a base power of 30 damage; except when Link is in a [[Divine Beast]], [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]] or is near a [[Guardian]], when it will glow with a blue aura, its strength will boost to 60 damage - making it the most powerful single-handed weapon in the game - and its durability will increase. It can be permanently upgraded to this level of damage through the DLC [[Trial of the Sword]], but it will still get depowered with enough use.
