In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', the Master Sword can be found in its pedestal in the [[Korok Forest]], guarded by the [[Great Deku Tree]]. The Great Deku Tree reveals to Link that if a person deemed to be weak attempts to draw the Master Sword from its pedestal, they will slowly lose their life. This means that Link must be powerful enough to draw the blade from its slumber and, unlike any previous incarnation, he requires at least thirteen hearts to successfully retrieve the sword (These hearts must be permanent [[Heart Container|heart containers]]: using consumables that [[Heart Container#Breath of the Wild|temporarily increase your maximum hearts]] will not allow you to obtain the Master Sword). The Great Deku Tree will prevent Link from dying if he fails to lift it the first time, but Link will die upon further attempts with not enough hearts. Upon taking the sword, Link will obtain [[The Master Sword (Memory)|a memory of the sword being placed in the pedestal]]; however, this memory is not actually Link's, rather, it is [[Zelda#Breath of the Wild|Princess Zelda]]'s. Zelda placed the sword in its resting place after [[Zelda's Awakening|Link's near-death]], where the hero would come to retrieve it once more after his slumber in the [[Shrine of Resurrection]]. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', the Master Sword can be found in its pedestal in the [[Korok Forest]], guarded by the [[Great Deku Tree]].

It is not necessary for Link to have a free Weapons slot to pick up the Master Sword, though it occupies a permanent inventory space when picked up; this slot does not affect the number of slots that can be obtained through the exchange of [[Korok Seed]]s. | |||
The Master Sword has a base strength of 30 damage, initially leaving it outclassed by a multitude of other single-handed weapons. Its true power, however, comes in the presence of evil when Link ventures to certain areas or draws near certain enemies. This includes all guardian variations and the entirety of [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], as well as the four [[Divine Beasts]], where Ganon's presence is most powerful. The blade will glow with a blue aura, and its strength will boost to 60 damage, making it the most powerful single-handed weapon in the game. Completing all three sections of the [[Trial of the Sword]], from the [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass]] "The Master Trials" DLC, upgrades it by 10 points per section, to ultimately be in the "awakened" 60 damage/glowing state at all times. | The Master Sword has a base strength of 30 damage, initially leaving it outclassed by a multitude of other single-handed weapons.

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. | The Master Sword plays a prominent role in Link's memories, and is once again indicated to only be usable by the chosen hero.

The Master Sword can shoot blade beams of energy | The Master Sword can shoot blade beams of energy when Link has full health. The distance covered by the beams depends on Link's total hearts at full health (the more hearts, the more distance), and the rate and frequency of beam shooting can be enhanced by wearing specific armor sets like the ★★-tier [[Hero of the Wild Set]]. Each beam spends one point of damage on the weapon. | ||
After Link's death during his final memory, the sword begins to flash blue and emit a sound that is the same as [[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. | After Link's death during his final memory, the sword begins to flash blue and emit a sound that is the same as [[Fi]]'s in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'', indicating that she is still present within the blade.
