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. | Each sacred flame increases the properties of the sword as well as the shape and structure.

The Master Sword is a double-edged longsword with no fuller and blue hilt, although in the artwork for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the hilt of the sword is golden. The sword's cross-guard is large and elaborate in relation to its pommel, and is similar to the seal of [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Hyrule's Royal Family]]. The [[Triforce]] is engraved on the base of the blade, and embedded in the cross-guard is a gem. | The Master Sword is a double-edged longsword with no fuller and blue hilt, although in the artwork for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the hilt of the sword is golden.

When Link first acquires the un-awakened Master Sword, the gem in its cross-guard is dark, and the guard itself seems to have retracted toward the grip. Only once the sword has been restored to its full power does its hilt regain its signature appearance, and its blade again shines a mysterious light. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', the Master Sword is much longer and slimmer. | ||

[[Sheik]] describes the blade as a ship that sails across time; obviously referencing the ability of it to take Link back and forth between childhood and adulthood. After defeating [[Ganon]], Link places the Master Sword back into its pedestal. This creates a split in the [[timeline]]. | ||
