 In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the state of the gem in cross-guard seems to be indicative of the sword's power. 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.

 In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', [[Link]] obtains the Master Sword in the [[Temple of Time]] from the [[Pedestal of Time]]. Link needs to place the three [[Spiritual Stones]] on the temple's altar, which can be found in the three dungeons from the Child Timeline across Hyrule. [[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]].

 The Master Sword makes an appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', and is found in the same location as ''A Link to the Past''. It can be found in the Lost Woods and cannot be obtained until after Link has collected the [[Pendants of Virtue]] and finds his way through the woods. It is needed to break the barrier around Hyrule Castle.
-The Master Sword replaces the [[Forgotten Sword]] and features enhanced strength over his previous sword, and like its predecessor, a sword beam can be shot out of the Master Sword whenever Link has full health. It can be upgraded to deal more damage if Link acquires two [[Master Ore]]s and gives them to the [[Blacksmith (Hyrule)|Blacksmith]] in [[Hyrule]], and he can further upgrade the Master Sword if he takes two more [[Master Ore]]s to the [[Blacksmith (Lorule)|Blacksmith]] in [[Lorule]]. When upgraded, the Master Sword Lv2 has a red blade while the Master Sword Lv3 has a golden blade, much like the [[Tempered Sword]] and the [[Golden Sword]] respectively in ''A Link to the Past''.

-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 Link's maximum hearts]] will not allow him to obtain the Master Sword).

Note that the [[Horned Statue]] can be used to convert stamina to hearts to get thirteen hearts, even if they are converted back later.
-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]].

 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.
-====Statistics====
+===Statistics===
-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:

 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.
-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.

Each beam spends one point of damage on the weapon until it has [[Master_Sword#Statistics|full luster]]; at that point, the sword can shoot beams without consuming durability.
+Albeit it has its own built-in power boost in the presence of Guardians or while at Hyrule Castle, the Master Sword is entirely unaffected by the Guardian Weapon bonuses of the [[Ancient Set]] and the [[Diamond Circlet]]; as such, wearing these armor items will '''not''' boost the Master Sword's attack.
 The Master Sword is part of the [[Hyrule Compendium]], and should a picture not have been taken before acquiring it, as the sword cannot be dropped to take a picture from a distance, a picture can be obtained by taking a selfie with the [[Camera (Rune)|Camera Rune]], or by purchasing pictures at bulk from [[Symin]].
