The Master Sword has an initial base attack power of 30, leaving it outclassed by a multitude of other [[Breath_of_the_Wild_One-Handed_Weapons|one-handed weapons]] in its unaltered state. Its true power, however, comes in the presence of evil when Link ventures to certain areas or draws near certain enemies. This includes near any [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|guardian]] variations (except [[Guardian Scout]]s), the entirety of [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)|Hyrule Castle]], as well as within the four [[Divine Beast]]s, i.e. where Ganon's presence is most powerful. In this awakened state, the blade will start glowing with a blue aura and its attack rating will be boosted to 60, making it the most powerful single-handed weapon in the game.

It is possible to increase the base power of the Master Sword by progressing in the [[Trial of the Sword]] from [[The_Master_Trials#The_Master_Trials|The Master Trials DLC]]. Completion of each section will increase the attack power by 10, with completion of the third [[Trial_of_the_Sword#Final_Trials|Final Trials]] boosting its attack power from 50 to 60, ultimately leaving it in its "awakened" state at all times (alongside a hefty durability increase):

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 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.
