I just really like botw
Since the deku sticks do full master sword damage in OoT, its clear.
The Deku stick is the real master sword, and the one sleeping in the Temple of Time is just a decoy.
Its the literal key to the Sacred Realm, but its not the actual blade that seals the evil. The ¨blade that seals the evil' is a rare plant that only grows in kokiri forest.
In Wind Waker, to ensure that ganon wouldn't hunt them down, one lone Deku stick was nurtured in Hyrule castle at the bottom of the great sea, disguised as the master sword since Ganon had at that time figured it all out and would spend his time in the great sea tracking down and destroying deku sticks since there are none left at the great sea.
The 'master sword' lies in the forest in ALTTP and BotW so that is pretty self-explanatory.
In TP, the 'sword' is still only the key and there are no deku sticks, but in order to gain power, the Interlopers transfered the power of the deku sticks to link's fishing rod with dark magic, again to trick ganondorf and that's why he gets distracted by it in the final fight, because he was so frustrated that neither the 'master sword' nor the deku sticks turned out to have the power that seals the evil so he just gets awestruck when he sees the fishing rod
