The '''Master Sword''', occasionally referred to as the '''sword of evil's bane''', '''blade of evil's bane''', '''Sacred Sword''', or '''sword that seals the darkness''', is a unique, powerful [[sword]] that first appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''. Since its debut, the Master Sword has become one of the most iconic weapons of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series. The Master Sword is a double-edged longsword with no fuller and a purple or blue hilt. The sword's crossguard is large, and its pommel is small in comparison. The Master Sword is often paired with the [[Hylian Shield]]. When Link is not holding the Master Sword, he keeps it in a scabbard across his back.

In the main series, the Master Sword permanently rests in a pedestal, which is located within a sacrosanct area of [[Hyrule]], usually the woods. The lore behind the Master Sword is different in most of the games, although it retains a somewhat consistent role. Similar to {{wp|Arthurian legend}}, [[Link]] is the only person who can pull the Master Sword from the pedestal and wield it. In some games, the Master Sword is the only weapon that can defeat [[Ganon]]. In several games, the Master Sword can be tempered or magically enhanced to increase its power, which sometimes changes its appearance and turns it into a different sword.

''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]'' subseries revolves around a different yet comparable legendary sword, the [[Four Sword]]. Other blades have appeared with a similar role.

==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda'' series===
====''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''====
[[File:Master Sword obtained ALttP.png|thumb|Link obtains the Master Sword in ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'']]
In ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'', the Master Sword makes its first appearance. The manual for the Super NES version elaborates on its background.<ref>Johan, Zethar II, and David Butler. [http://www.zeldalegends.net/view/text/z3translation/z3_manual_story.html "A Link to the Past" Manual Comparison]. ''The Legends of Zelda''. Retrieved January 4, 2020.</ref> According to legend, the people of Hyrule were given orders from the gods to forge the Master Sword long ago in the event of the Triforce's theft by an evil-hearted person. During the Imprisoning War, the seven [[sage|wise men]] initially sought to confirm the existence of the Master Sword and then find a valiant hero needed to wield it.

In the game, the Master Sword is located in the [[Lost Woods]]. It rests in a pedestal within the [[Sacred Grove]]. The Lost Woods has several [[Fake Master Sword]]s, which further obscure the location of the Master Sword. Link cannot pull the Master Sword unless he has all three [[Pendants of Virtue|Pendants]]. When Link has obtained the Master Sword, he can shoot [[sword beam]]s from it if his health is full. The Master Sword does twice as much damage than the [[sword]], although the sword beams are still the same strength.

The Master Sword can optionally be upgraded twice: the [[Craftsman|dwarven swordsmith]] can turn the Master Sword into the [[Master Sword Lv2|Tempered Sword]], and the [[Great Fairy]] in the [[pyramid]] can turn the Tempered Sword into the [[Master Sword Lv3|Golden Sword]].

The Master Sword to destroy the [[Lightning Lock]] on the upper floor of [[Hyrule Castle]], allowing Link to continue and fight [[Agahnim]]. In the ending, after Link defeats [[Ganon]], he returns the Master Sword back into its pedestal, where it is said to sleep forever.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''====
[[File:OoT Link pulling Master Sword.png|thumb|left|200px|Link pulling the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'']]
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', the Master Sword is located in the [[Temple of Time]] and rests in a room sealed off by the [[Door of Time]]. Link can only enter the room after obtaining the three [[Spiritual Stones]] and playing the [[Song of Time]] on his [[Ocarina of Time]]. The Master Sword is an entryway to the [[Sacred Realm]]. It rests in the [[Pedestal of Time]], and the first time that Link pulls out the Master Sword, [[Ganondorf]] sneaks in and claims the [[Triforce of Power]]. Seven years later, Link wakes up in the [[Chamber of Sages]], where [[Rauru]] explains to Link that he was sealed there until he became old enough to wield the Master Sword.

In his adulthood, after Link clears the [[Forest Temple]], he can return to the past by placing the Master Sword into the Pedestal of Time. This allows Link to do back and forth time travel.

The Master Sword does twice as much damage than the [[Kokiri Sword]]. The Master Sword has the ability to perform the [[Dead Man's Volley]] technique, as shown during the boss fight against [[Phantom Ganon]] and later Ganondorf. The [[Biggoron's Sword]] is the only sword that can do more damage than the Master Sword. In the final battle against Ganon, regardless of how many hits he takes, Ganon cannot be defeated until the final blow is dealt by the Master Sword. The ending is similar to ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''{{'}}s, as both involve Link returning the Master Sword into its pedestal. In the ending, Link returns the Master Sword into the Pedestal of Time and closes the Door of Time, per Zelda's instruction, thus sealing the path to the Sacred Realm. The game slowly zooms on the Master Sword right before it fades.
{{br|left}}

====''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages''====
The Master Sword is an upgrade to the [[Noble Sword]], and it can only be obtained in the [[Link System|linked game]]. By default, each game has the Noble Sword as the last [[trading sequence]] item, although if a certain password-linked event occurs between the two games, the Master Sword is found in place of the Noble Sword's default location.

The Master Sword does four times more damage than its first form, the [[Wooden Sword]]. Like ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', Biggoron's Sword is the only sword that does more damage than the Master Sword. Both are the only swords that allow Link to damage [[General Onox]] and [[Ganon]] without performing a [[Spin Attack]]. When combined with the [[Red Ring]], the Master Sword can defeat any enemy in one strike, except blue [[Lynel]]s, which are defeated from two strikes.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'', if Link talks to a [[Zora]] in [[Hero's Cave]], he gives Link a clue and a [[password]] to upgrade his sword in ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages''. When the password transfers to that game, Link can visit [[King Zora]] to get his sword upgraded to either the Noble Sword or Master Sword, depending on which sword he had previously. King Zora then provides a password, which can be used in ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons'' for Link to obtain the same sword upgrade from [[Farore]]. The Noble Sword (or Master Sword) is found in the [[Lost Woods]], echoing its location in ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'', Link can directly obtain the Noble Sword (or Master Sword) from [[Patch]] on top of [[Restoration Wall]] after completing [[Patch's Crazy Cart]]. Alternatively, after completing [[Skull Dungeon]] on a linked game, Link can get a password from a woman near [[Lynna City]]. Afterward, in ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons'', Link must dig into an underground chamber behind the [[Clock Shop]]. In the chamber, Link must enter the password and defeat enough enemies within the time limit to receive a sword upgrade and another password. In ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages'', the password can be taken to Farore to receive the same sword in that game.

====''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'', the Master Sword is found in Hyrule Castle, which is preserved at the bottom of the [[Great Sea]]. The Master Sword is located in a chamber hidden under the [[Hero of Time]] statue. The Master Sword rests in its pedestal as a seal to stop the flow of time in the sunken land of Hyrule. When Link pulls the Master Sword, the flow of time returns to Hyrule. Consequently, this restores Ganondorf's magic powers and several of his minions. After Link pulls the Master Sword, it replaces the [[Hero's Sword]] for the rest of Link's adventure.

With the Master Sword, Link returns to the [[Forsaken Fortress]] to confront Ganondorf. Link tries to attack him but is unsuccessful. This is because Ganondorf killed the original Earth and Wind Sages, who infused their power into the Master Sword. As such, the sages are the only characters who can restore the Master Sword's power. With [[Medli]] as the new Earth Sage and [[Makar]] as the new Wind Sage, Link takes them to the [[Earth Temple]] and [[Wind Temple]] respectively. At the end of each temple, Medli and Makar respectively restore a half of the Master Sword's power, by praying to the gods over the Master Sword and its wielder. Medli's prayer extends the Master Sword's crossguard, and Makar's prayer causes a [[Triforce]] symbol to appear on the Master Sword's blade and changes its black gem to gold. When the Master Sword is restored entirely, its blade starts to glow.

Once the Master Sword's power is restored, Link must return to Hyrule and use the Master Sword to shatter a magical barrier, allowing him to access [[Ganon's Tower]]. The final boss battle against Ganondorf is on the roof of the tower, where Link can fight him using the Master Sword's power. At the end of the battle, Link strikes the Master Sword into Ganondorf's forehead, turning him into stone. In the ending, [[King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]] wishes for Hyrule to flood, leaving Ganondorf and the Master Sword, which remains in his forehead, to be lost in the ocean.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', the Master Sword is located deep within the [[Faron Woods]]. It has a longer appearance than in earlier games.

After [[Zant]] turns Link into a [[Wolf Link|wolf]], Princess Zelda tells Link that the Master Sword is the only object that can return him to normal. When Link obtains the Master Sword, he can willingly transform between his normal form and his wolf form. The Master Sword also becomes Link's main sword for the rest of his adventure. When Link returns to the Sacred Grove, he briefly inserts the Master Sword into its pedestal to open the [[Temple of Time]]. Inside the restored temple, Link briefly inserts the Master Sword into its pedestal again, this time to reveal a hidden path to the temple's dungeon portion. 

Later, when Link returns the [[Sol]]s to their locations in the [[Twilight Realm]], their power is infused with the Master Sword. This allows the Master Sword to cut through [[shadow crystal]] fog and defeat [[Twilit]] enemies from one hit. With the power of the Sols, the Master Sword radiates a fierce, golden light, except for indoor areas of the [[Palace of Twilight]], where the Master Sword has a fainter glow.

During the final battle against Ganondorf, Link can perform an [[Ending Blow]] to impale Ganondorf and defeat them. Like ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' and ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', the game ends with Link returning the Master Sword into its pedestal.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition]]'', if the Links complete the exclusive dungeon, [[Realm of Memories]], they can unlock the Master Sword as their new sword. Like ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'', the Master Sword has the ability to shoot sword beams.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword''====
The plot of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'' heavily concerns the original creation of the Master Sword. Early in the game, Link obtains the [[Goddess Sword]], which gets upgraded throughout the game. Once the three [[Sacred Flame]]s are recovered, the Goddess Sword becomes the Master Sword, gaining its trademark appearance and power to repel evil.

====''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', the Master Sword has its same basic appearance and role as in ''A Link to the Past''. The Sacred Grove now cannot be reached until the [[Pendants of Virtue]] are all collected, however. The same upgrades from before are obtainable, but are now gotten by giving [[Master Ore]] to the two separate [[Blacksmith]]s.

====''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]'', the Master Sword again rests in the Lost Woods, specifically right in front of the [[Great Deku Tree]]. Pulling the sword in this game actually slowly deplete's [[Link]]'s life energy, and as such, he must have a large enough amount of health to successfully do it without dangerously overtaxing himself. The Master Sword is completely unbreakable, unlike all other weapons in the game. However, using it too frequently drains its power to repel evil temporarily, rendering it dull. When near a large source of [[malice]], such as a [[Blight Ganon]], the sword will glow blue with energy.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In every ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' game, Link uses the Master Sword as his main weapon.

====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''{{'}}s Adventure Mode, the Underground Maze stage involves the player searching for the [[Triforce]] in a labyrinth. There are seven rooms in the labyrinth where it may be found at which point the stage ends. The location is random; instead of the Triforce, one is more likely to come across the Master Sword set into a small pedestal. It vanishes when approached, at which point Link appears and forces a battle. There are five such swords in this stage, and thus up to five battles with Link (in every possible color, unless the player's fighter is Link).

The description of the Master Sword trophy in the NTSC version states that the Master Sword appears in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. In order to not mislead players expecting it to list the first appearance, this was changed to ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'' in the PAL and NTSC Player's Choice releases.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Link's introductory cutscene in The Subspace Emissary shows him pulling the Master Sword from a pedestal in the woods. It is the first game with [[Toon Link]] as a fighter, and like Link, he wields the Master Sword as his weapon. This is also the case for subsequent ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.

====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Link's Master Sword can fire [[sword beam]]s when Link uses his forward smash at 0%. The Master Sword plays a small role during the Adventure mode. It awaits the player in a pedestal at the center of the [[smashwiki:Sacred Land|Sacred Land]], though [[finalfantasywiki:Cloud Strife|Cloud]] must be awoken before reaching it. Once pulled from its pedestal, the sword emits a glow that dispels the darkness shrouding the northern part of the land, making it accessible.

===''Soulcalibur II''===
In ''[[Soulcalibur II]]'', the Master Sword is Link's basic and most balanced weapon and companion to the Hylian Shield. The Magical Sword from the original ''The Legend of Zelda'' is also available as a weapon. The Master Sword is also used as the sword when the Mirror Shield is selected.

===''Mario Kart 8''===
In the DLC of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and the base game of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', the Master Sword rests in a pedestal at a crossroad inside the Hyrule Castle in [[Hyrule Circuit]]. It acts as a [[mariowiki:Spin Boost Pillar|Spin Boost Pillar]], but is initially inaccessible. On the track leading to the sword, there are three spin boost crystals that, when activated, cause the sword to rise up from the pedestal along with a [[mariowiki:Dash Panel|Dash Panel]] ramp that allows racers to go through it and receive a spin boost. The [[mariowiki:Master Cycle|Master Cycle]] bike is heavily based off of the Master Sword.

Link also pulls out the Master Sword during two of his [[mariowiki:Trick|trick]]s.

===''Super Mario Maker 2''===
[[File:SMM2 Master Sword Screenshot.jpg|250px|thumb|The Master Sword in ''Super Mario Maker 2'']]
The Master Sword was added in the Ver. 2.0.0 update in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', where it serves as a power-up only available in ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]''-styled levels. The Master Sword is obtainable as an alternate form of the [[mariowiki:Super Mushroom|Super Mushroom]]. When the item comes out of a [[mariowiki:? Block|? Block]], it plays the "item appear" sound effect from the [[Family Computer Disk System|Disk System]] version of the first ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]''. When the item is collected, it plays the "item get" sound effect from the same game and turns [[mariowiki:Mario|Mario]] into Link, enabling him to use his shield to block enemies and projectiles, [[bomb]]s to hit switches and blow up blocks, and a bow and arrow to collect items or attack enemies. He is also able to use the sword to hit enemies, and use a [[Jump Slash|dash attack]] with said sword and a [[Down Thrust]] in similar fashion to a [[mariowiki:Ground Pound|Ground Pound]]. When Mario, [[mariowiki:Toad|Toad]], or [[mariowiki:Toadette|Toadette]] grab the power-up in Multiplayer mode, they turn them respectively into red, blue, and purple Link, while [[mariowiki:Luigi|Luigi]] still turns into green Link, matching the Link colors from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]''. In night ground levels, Link's bombs will sprout legs and walk in the direction they were thrown. The sprite of the Master Sword power-up is an edited version of the [[White Sword]] from the original game.

When using the Master Sword in the ground, sky, forest, underwater, desert, and snow themes, the music is replaced by ''The Legend of Zelda''{{'}}s overworld theme; in the underground and [[mariowiki:Ghost House|Ghost House]] themes, the game's dungeon theme plays; and in the [[mariowiki:Airship|airship]] and castle themes, the game's [[Death Mountain]] theme plays. Sound effects are also borrowed from the game. The boss theme [[mariowiki:List of sound effects in Super Mario Maker 2|sound effect]] while under the Master Sword's effect is the battle theme from the Disk System version of ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'', while the final boss sound effect is Shadow Link's battle theme from the same game. The bonus game theme uses an 8-bit remix of the horse race music from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', and the Peaceful theme uses an 8-bit remix of the Great Fairy music from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'' and onward (also used in many ''The Legend of Zelda'' games in the file selection menu).

Once Link beats a level, it plays [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]'s rescue theme from the original game with a slightly lower tempo. In castle-themed levels, Link holds a Triforce shard after touching the axe with the "Triforce collected" theme playing from the original game. The death theme from the original game plays when Link falls in a pit, however Link lacks a "defeated" sprite (if crushed/falls in lava) similar to the Mystery Mushroom costumes of the previous installment. Several sound effects are also modified when playing as Link. These are all based on the original Disk System versions.

*There is a piece of furniture called the Master Sword in the first ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]'' and ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: Wild World|Animal Crossing: Wild World]]''. In the latter game, if the player character touches the Master Sword, the trademark "new item" sound from ''The Legend of Zelda'' plays.
* There is a microgame in ''[[mariowiki:WarioWare: Smooth Moves|WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' where the player has to re-enact the drawing of the Master Sword in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. The scene plays out normally in level 1, but in level 2, Link is turned into an old man, and in level 3 Link is turned into a Cucco.
*In the ''[[wikirby:Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series, the Sword Copy Ability, which is based on Link, features a blue-hilted sword with a golden gem similar to the Master Sword. In ''[[wikirby:Kirby & The Amazing Mirror|Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Meta Knight gives Kirby his sword, which is referred to as the Master Sword (shortened to Master in the English release). Later games rename Meta Knight's sword Galaxia.
*In ''{{wp|World of Warcraft}}'', there is a character named Linken, a left-handed Gnome dressed in a green hat and tunic. Through the quest "It's dangerous to go alone" (a reference to the iconic quote from ''The Legend of Zelda''), it is possible to obtain "Linken's Sword of Mastery", a nod to the Master Sword.
*The Master Sword appears in ''{{wp|Shining Soul II}}'', where it can only be wielded by Warrior and Ninja classes.
*In ''{{wp|Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak}}'', a dark cave with paths leading back to the beginning (similar to the Lost Woods) hides a pedestal with three missing jewels (marbles) in the center (resembling the Spiritual Stones of Ocarina of Time), and when all three are placed, a sword can be removed from the pedestal, revealing it to be but a spoon with a fancy hilt.
*The Master Sword is an unlockable item in the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of ''{{wp|Skyrim}}''.
*A Master Sword appears in ''{{wp|Virtual Hydlide}}''. However, the sword looks nothing like its Zelda counterpart. This Master Sword is the third most powerful sword in the game behind the Flame Sword and the Sword of Light, but it also serves the purpose of removing the "Cursed" status on Jim.

==General information==
===Physical appearance===
The Master Sword is a double-edged, one-handed sword. The blade cross-section is hexagonal with no fuller. On the flats of the blade near the hilt is a [[Triforce]] symbol, etched into the steel or emblazoned in gold. The section of the blade nearest the hilt (between the Triforce and the crossguard) is narrowed, possibly for use as an extra grip though Link never uses it this way. The crossguard is blue and curved slightly away from the hilt. In ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the crossguard is purple. A yellow jewel is set where the hilt meets the crossguard. The hilt is often padded red with a non-ornate blue pommel. The Master Sword's metal does not corrode over long periods of time.

In ''The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker'', the Master Sword is considerably shorter in length, fitting with the designs of the characters. When the Master Sword is first acquired, its hilt guard is locked upwards, and a small, black gem is in its center. When the Master Sword reaches its full power, its guards are extended outwards, the gem becomes yellow, and the sword glows when unsheathed.

In ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', the Master Sword received some cosmetic changes similar to the [[Temple of Time]]'s aesthetics. The Master Sword is comparatively longer than in earlier games. There appears to be zig-zagging gold trim upon the blade, near the Triforce symbol. The glowing effect is retained from ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker'' but to a lesser extent.
