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.

When you begin the trials, you will see three Bokoblins sitting around a fire. Simply climb up the thick tree in between you and the [[Bokoblin]]s, and collect the [[Bird Egg]]s. You can kill tham all at once if you throw a bomb towards them and wait for them to come near it. 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.
