Link can also find a Hylian Shield in one of the graves in the [[Kakariko Village Graveyard]], accessible during nighttime.


Unlike the [[Deku Shield]], the Hylian Shield does not burn when exposed to fire. However, it is too heavy for Young Link to use properly, causing him to use it as a turtle shell when guarding. This protects him from the front, and is required to scale the [[Death Mountain Trail]], but is less effective than the Deku Shield in combat; Adult Link uses the Hylian Shield properly. It is later replaced with the [[Mirror Shield]].

In Tears of the Kingdom, the Master Sword was returned to its pedestal sometime after the events of Breath of the Wild, to recharge following Calamity Ganon's defeat. When Gloom begins to leak from Beneath Hyrule Castle, Link and Zelda retrieve the sword to use during their investigation; The Great Deku Tree explains that the Master Sword has been restored to its full power, and reveals that it has the ability to grow stronger when exposed to sacred light, potentially with no limit. Later, when the two confront Ganondorf's mummified body in the Imprisoning Chamber, Link attempts to use the Master Sword to block a steam of Gloom directed at Zelda; The Gloom corrodes and shatters the blade into pieces, although the tip cuts Ganondorf's cheek as it flies off.

In this state, the Master Sword has lost all of its power, with a base damage of 1 and a durability of 5; It cannot be fused, and will not recharge after running out of energy, making it the worst weapon in the game.

When Link does so, the blade is sent back in time via Recall, where it is retrieved by Zelda in the distant past.

Now understanding why she was sent back in time, Zelda comes up with a plan to draconify herself, enabling the Master Sword to absorb sacred light over millennia and return to its former glory. After Mineru seals her spirit in the Purah Pad, the rest of the Seven Sages promise to pass on their abilities to their descendants, and the Great Sky Island is equipped with everything Link needs to recover, Zelda swallows a Secret Stone and transforms into the Light Dragon, the Master Sword becoming embedded in a growth on her forehead.

When Link attempts to pull the Master Sword, the Light Dragon reacts in pain and attempts to shake him off; Link needs at least two complete Stamina Wheels to hold on until the Light Dragon calms down and the growth retracts. Once successful, Link draws the Master Sword; The decayed blade has been replaced with one made from the Light Dragon's crystal, and its power is restored.
