After completing [[A War of Spirit]] in [[Legend Mode]], the Master Sword's power is fully awakened, enabling Link to fire Sword Beams after certain attacks while at full health. Additionally, the Master Sword comes with two Legendary Skills, which can only be removed once a specific requirement has been fulfilled: | |||
*'''Evil's Bane:''' To unlock this Skill, remove the Legendary Seal by obtaining all Level 1, 2, and 3 weapons, then get 10,000 KOs (25,000 in the Wii U version) to unlock the Skill. Increases the Master Sword's strength by +200. | |||
*'''Exorcism:''' Only appears in ''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]'' and ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition|Definitive Edition]]''. To unlock this Skill, remove the Legendary Seal by obtaining all Level 4 (and 4+ in ''Definitive Edition'') weapons, then get 15,000 KOs to unlock the Skill. Increases the Master Sword's strength by +400, and unlocks all Sealed Skills on other weapons. | |||
