After watching an info recap, I was reminded of an old theory I had proposed about the Magic Sword.
The theory was that the Magic Sword, from Zelda 1 and 2, was an attempt at remaking the Master Sword, or at least copying it. At the time, the theory was just based on how similar the abilities were, and a way to explain why Link doesn't use the Master Sword, which wouldn't be introduced until a later game. (It also suggests that something happened to the Master Sword before the events of the original. Broken, de-powered, lost, etc.)
This was before seeing evidence of attempts at replicating the Master sword's powers, in the Royal Guard weapons in Breath of the Wild.
I had also missed (wile making the original theory) the part in Skyward Sword, where the Goddess Sword becomes a white sword before becoming the Master Sword.
Seeing now that replicating the power of the Master Sword is a thing, and that a white sword is likely a purified stage in the process that made the Master Sword, I think it's worth revisiting the idea that the Magic Sword was a remake of the Master Sword. (I am also leaning towards the Master Sword being exhausted of power, and needing a recharge during the events of Zelda 1 & 2.)
My current thoughts are that both the White Sword and the Magic Sword are part of the same process. One person creates the purified White Sword, then another turns it into the powered up Magic Sword, and Link is delivering the White Sword so that it can be improved. this is also why Link doesn't keep both the White and Magic Swords.
