In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the Master Sword is | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', the Master Sword is located in a pedestal hidden in the [[Lost Woods]] of northwest Hyrule. An ancient text is inscribed into the pedestal, which when translated by the [[Book of Mudora]], reads "''The Hero's triumph on Cataclysm's Eve wins three Symbols of Virtue. The Master Sword he will then retrieve, keeping the knights' line true.''" Once Link has obtained all three [[Pendants of Virtue]], he will be able to draw the Master Sword from the pedestal, dispelling the fog over the Lost Woods in the process. | ||
In-game, the Master Sword replaces the [[Fighter's Sword]] as Link's main weapon once obtained - it is required to dispel the magical barrier blocking access to the third floor of [[Hyrule Castle]], and thus is necessary to confront [[Agahnim]]. It deals double damage compared to the Fighter's Sword, has a longer reach, and has the ability to fire [[Sword Beam|Sword Beams]] when Link is at full health. It can also be upgraded into the [[Tempered Sword]], and eventually the [[Golden Sword]]. In [[A Link to the Past (GBA)|the GBA version]], the Master Sword can also break [[Jar|Jars]]. | |||

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', [[Link | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Master Sword is kept in the [[Temple of Time]], specifically inside the [[Pedestal of Time]]. [[Link#Ocarina of Time|Link]] is sent on a mission by the [[Great Deku Tree]], and later [[Zelda#Ocarina of Time|Zelda]], to obtain the Master Sword and use it to stop [[Ganon#Ocarina of Time|Ganondorf]] from conquering Hyrule. The pedestal itself is locked inside a hidden chamber; to access it, Link must obtain all three [[Spiritual Stones]], place them in their pedestals, and then play the [[Song of Time]] on the [[Ocarina of Time]]. Once Link draws the Master Sword, however, he is sealed away inside the [[Sacred Realm]] for seven years, as he is too young to wield the blade. This allows Ganondorf to enter the Sacred Realm and claim the [[Triforce]] for himself, conquering Hyrule in the seven-year timespan. When Link awakens in the future, now an adult, he wields the Master Sword on his quest to free the [[Seven Sages]]. After defeating Ganon, Zelda returns Link to the present, before he ever pulled the Master Sword, and he uses his knowledge of the future to stop Ganondorf before his plan can begin, creating a split in the [[Timeline]]. | ||
In-game, the Master Sword is Adult Link's default sword. It deals double damage compared to the [[Kokiri Sword]], and has a longer blade, giving it increased reach - in addition, it is the only weapon that can deal the final blow to [[Ganon#Ocarina of Time]]. After completing the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]], Link can return to his childhood by placing the Master Sword back in its pedestal, enabling him to travel between the present and future. | |||

A similar sword, called MsgNotFound, is used by Link during the prologue, appearing exactly like the Master Sword, but lacks the Master Sword's name and description, as the player cannot open the equipment menu in the prologue without glitches. It cannot break, and cannot be legitimately used outside of the prologue. If it is somehow glitched into the game proper, then it also cannot have materials fused onto it without the use of additional glitches. | A similar sword, called MsgNotFound, is used by Link during the prologue, appearing exactly like the Master Sword, but lacks the Master Sword's name and description, as the player cannot open the equipment menu in the prologue without glitches.

{{Quote|The legendary blade of evil's bane. Only the chosen hero can wield this sword. When attacking with full health, your strikes gain a little extra oomph!|In-game description}} | |||
In ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', the Master Sword is located in a pedestal, deep in the [[Temple of the Sacred Sword]]. The sword keeps a fragment of [[Ganondorf (Hyrule Warriors)|Ganondorf's]] spirit sealed inside the pedestal; if removed, the seal will weaken and eventually break. In [[Legend Mode]], after all three [[Gate of Souls|Gates of Souls]] have been closed, [[Zelda (Hyrule Warriors)|Zelda]] and [[Lana]] decide that they must obtain the Master Sword to defeat [[Cia]], believing that Link is worthy of wielding the sacred weapon - Lana assures the heroes that the seal will only weaken, allowing them a brief period of time to defeat Cia before Ganondorf's spirit fragment escapes. Despite intervention from [[Wizzro (Hyrule Warriors)|Wizzro]] and his forces, Link is able to retrieve the Master Sword from the pedestal. | |||
As the [[Hyrulean Army]] confronts Cia's forces at the [[Temple of Souls]], Link begins to grow cocky and reckless due to both the Master Sword's power and [[Proxi]] encouraging him, charging into enemy lines with no regard for his or others' safety. Cia is able to exploit this, cursing Link and summoning an endless army of [[Dark Link|Dark Links]] that deliver a brutal attack on the Hyrulean forces. Link is overwhelmed and nearly killed by the Dark Links, but is saved by Lana and his allies - inspired by their teamwork, he overcomes his hubris, banishing the curse and awakening the Master Sword's true power. While Cia would ultimately be defeated, Link would fail to return the Master Sword to its pedestal in time, and the seal is broken, restoring Ganondorf's power. After Ganon's eventual defeat, Link and Zelda return the Master Sword to its pedestal in the Temple, restoring the seal. | |||
The Master Sword is a [[Hyrule Warriors Weapons|weapon]] class used by [[Link (Hyrule Warriors)|Link]] - unlike the other weapons, the sword is one-of-a-kind, and the player cannot obtain additional copies or sell it. It uses the same moveset as the [[Hylian Sword]], and is wielded alongside the [[Hylian Shield]]; however, it is significantly stronger than most obtainable Hylian Swords, and the [[Spin Attack]] becomes faster and wider than the Hylian Sword. After completing "[[A War of Spirit]]", the Master Sword gains the ability to fire Sword Beams after certain special moves, provided Link is at full health. | |||
The Master Sword comes with two [[Weapon Skills]] that cannot be removed or swapped: Evil's Bane and Exorcism - however, both of these Skills are locked by Legendary Seals. To unlock Evil's Bane, the player must obtain every Level 1, 2, and 3 weapon in the game, then accumulate 25,000 KOs with the Master Sword (10,000 in ''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends|Legends]]'' and ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition|Definitive Edition]]''; this Skill increases the Master Sword's attack power by +200. Exorcism, which only appears in ''Legends'' and ''Definitive Edition'', is unlocked by obtaining every weapon, including Level 4+ weapons, in the game, and then getting 15,000 KOs with the Master Sword; this Skill increases the Master Sword's attack power by +400, and will remove all Legendary Seals on other weapons. | |||

In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the Master Sword serves as a power-up in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' theme which transforms Mario (or the other playable characters) into Link, with a full set of typical Link moves. This includes using the Master Sword to stab, [[Down Thrust|down thrust]] and [[Dash Attack|dash attack]].
