'''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 perform 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. These weapons largely seem to not have sufficient mass to readily open wooden and metal crates with a single blow, save from some exceptions; however, they are more effective in this task than [[Breath of the Wild Spears|spears]].

The Master Sword can be found in a pedestal in the [[Korok Forest]], guarded by the [[Great Deku Tree]]. Link must have at least thirteen permanent (red) heart containers to draw it from its pedestal without dying. 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 (Breath of the Wild)|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 [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|DLC]] [[Trial of the Sword]], but it will still get depowered with enough use.

Forest Dweller's Swords have a base power of 22 and base durability of 27. They can be found in various locations in [[Hyrule]], but they are most common in the [[Korok Forest]]. Each is made entirely from wood, meaning one will catch fire if it is brought in close proximity with a flame.

One must be equipped at all times whilst attempting [[The Test of Wood]] Shrine Quest, or [[Link]] will be disqualified and required to start over.
