In this game, the Master Sword also has the ability to [[Skyward Strike|shoot beams of light]] and can [[Dowsing|search for people or items]]. This is likely due to the presence of Fi, the spirit inside the sword. After completing the game, the player can replay it in Hero Mode, which makes the Goddess Sword and subsequently the Master Sword's Skyward Strikes much quicker from the very beginning. | |||

In '' | 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 [[Temporary Heart|temporarily increase your maximum hearts]] will not allow you to obtain the Master Sword). 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]]. | ||
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]],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. | The Master Sword has a base strength of 30 damage, initially leaving it outclassed by a multitude of other single-handed weapons.

Like all other weapons in Breath of the Wild, it can be rendered unusable after extensive use. However, it is special in that the Sword will never break, or disappear from the inventory after obtaining it. After the Sword loses its power from extensive use, it will auto-repair itself gradually and return to normal after some time. When the Master Sword is engulfed in its true power, it will gain a huge durability boost. | [[File:Hyrule-Compendium-Master-Sword.png|180px|left|Hyrule Compendium image]] | ||

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.

In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the Master Sword serves as a power-up in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' theme which transforms Mario (or the other playable characters) into Link, with a full set of typical Link moves. This includes using the Master Sword to stab, [[Downward Thrust|down thrust]] and [[Dash Attack|dash attack]]. The power-up is lost if Link takes damage. | |||
