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]].

It is not necessary for Link to have a free Weapons slot to pick up the Master Sword, though it occupies a permanent inventory space when picked up; this slot does not affect the number of slots that can be obtained through the exchange of [[Korok Seed]]s.
