The '''Trial of the Sword''' is a special challenge offered to [[Link | The '''Trial of the Sword''' is a special challenge offered to [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] after he obtains the [[Master Sword]], available through the [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|Expansion Pass DLC]]. It consists of many floors, each containing a series of enemies for Link to defeat. This is akin to previous enemy gauntlets in the [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|series]], such as the [[Cave of Ordeals]]. It is accessible by placing the [[Master Sword]] back in its pedestal at [[Korok Forest]]. | ||
Link is transported to the trial floors through [[Travel Gate]]s, said floors having different environments contained within [[Shrine of Trials|Shrine]]-like boundaries. There are three stages to the trial, the Beginning Trials, Middle Trials, and Final Trials, each progressing in difficulty and length. In each section, Link faces a range of enemies, from the simple [[Bokoblin]]s, all the way up to the fearful [[Lynel]]s and [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]]. Slaying all enemies at the given floor will open a travel gate to the next one. | Link is transported to the trial floors through [[Travel Gate]]s, said floors having different environments contained within [[Shrine of Trials|Shrine]]-like boundaries.

Once killed, glide down an take their weapons, the [[Seared Steak]] hung over the fire, and the contents of the crates and barrels (blow them up, don't waste weapon durability). | ||
NOTE: This is the only floor with a (steady) fire to cook at for a while (Fire Chuchus not counted). It's worth it to at least bake the apples for better healing properties if you don't think you can get through with minimal damage. | NOTE: This is the only floor with a (steady) fire to cook at for a while (Fire Chuchus not counted).

The 2 Blue Lizalfos are on the island to the left behind the rock with the Large Electric Chuchu. The regular Lizalfos are one each on the other two islands (the far corner one can be hard to see because they camouflage). Climb the tall rock to the left, shoot the Electric Chuchu then run down and grab the Throwing Spear on the ground before one of the Blue Lizalfos do. If you have the inventory space (don't load up on tree branches and Korok leafs) you can grab all the roasted bass and prevent the Blue Lizalfos from arming themselves. To keep them from ganging up you, an application of stasis should give you enough time to handle them one at a time. Try to avoid using bombs and blasting them into the water as they will usually sit there and just do spit attacks. | The 2 Blue Lizalfos are on the island to the left behind the rock with the Large Electric Chuchu.

Then you can swim over and hang under the slope of the next island until the Lizalfos stops alerting. Climb over, whack away, then use stasis again. This should allow you to knock the Lizalfos to the other big island (but not close enough to alert the last one), again avoiding the issue of them attacking from the water. If it jumps into the water, use bombs and try to keep a rock in between you. | Then you can swim over and hang under the slope of the next island until the Lizalfos stops alerting.

**TIP: Easy way to conserve weapons including drops is by throwing remote bombs just below the edge where the archers are firing at you. The bombs will float right where you want them, blowing away the enemy and the dropped bow/weapon away from the center. You can continue to use this strategy throughout this Floor as well any others with gusts blowing! Good luck! | |||
