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]].

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.

In the Switch release of ''Skyrim'', the player can use [[Amiibo]] for items. The Zelda series Amiibo have a chance of giving the player gear from ''Breath of the Wild''. Among these is the Master Sword, which is essentially just an Elven Sword. Oddly enough, however, the Master Sword never gets blood on it.
