In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', the Master Sword is kept in a hidden chamber in [[Hyrule Castle (The Wind Waker)|Hyrule Castle]]; While the Hero of Time returned to his era and left the Master Sword in the Pedestal of Time, the version of the Sword he used remained in the adult era, and was taken into safekeeping. The chamber features stained-glass windows depicting each of the Seven Sages, to memorialize the legend of ''Ocarina of Time''. Once again, the Master Sword maintains a seal, this time keeping time frozen in Hyrule Castle and weakening Ganondorf's magic; However, [[Link (The Wind Waker)|Link]] unknowingly draws the Master Sword from the pedestal after being instructed by the [[King of Red Lions]]; As a result, time in Hyrule Castle begins to flow again, and Ganondorf's magic is fully restored. | |||
The Master Sword replaces the [[Hero's Sword]] once obtained; It deals double damage, and has a longer reach. However, Link later learns that Ganondorf has had the original Sages of Earth and Wind, [[Laruto]] and [[Fado]], murdered, and without their prayers to maintain its strength, the Master Sword has dulled and lost its sacred power. In its dulled state, the cross-guard is curved into the blade rather than extending outwards, the gem on the base is black rather than gold, the Triforce symbol on the ricasso is gone, and the blade has lost its shine. After Link awakens [[Medli]] and [[Makar]] as the new Sages, their prayers restore the Master Sword's power; Medli's prayers restore the cross-guard to its original position, while Makar's restore the gem, Triforce symbol, and shine. Once both Sages are awakened, the Master Sword regains the power to repel evil, and can destroy the magical barrier blocking access to [[Ganon's Tower (The Wind Waker)|Ganon's Tower]]. | |||
Link uses the Master Sword during the final battle against Ganondorf, and with the help of [[Tetra|Princess Zelda]], kills him by driving the blade through his skull. As the last of Hyrule is flooded beneath the [[Great Sea]], the Master Sword is left stuck in Ganondorf's petrified body, where it would remain for the rest of time. | |||

Link and [[Midna]] journey to the Sacred Grove and are eventually able to gain access; The Master Sword emits a brilliant blast of sacred light, removing the Shadow Crystal from Link and enabling him to draw the blade. | ||
