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 imbuing the blade with three [[Sacred Flames]] which represent [[Din]], [[Nayru (Goddess)|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 Goddess Hylia blesses the blade and turns it into the [[True Master Sword]]. [[Skyward Strike]]s now charge much faster.

The Master Sword plays a prominent role in Link's memories, and is once again indicated to only be usable by the chosen hero. During Link's final memory, and Zelda's memory when the Sword is retrieved, it is shown to be in a severely damaged and rusted condition, something that has not been seen in any previous Zelda game. After being placed into its resting spot by Princess Zelda, the Sword gradually regained its luster and restored itself to its most powerful state.

After Link's death during his final memory, the sword begins to flash blue and emit a sound that is the same as [[Fi|Fi]]'s in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', indicating that she is still present within the blade. Fi speaks to Princess Zelda, and tells her that Link can still be saved by taking him to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]], where he can fully recover to fight [[Calamity Ganon]] once more.
