When Link goes through the Door of Time in the Sacred Grove, he travels back to when the Temple of Time stood tall and before it fell into ruin. Here, Link can briefly thrust the Master Sword in the Pedestal of Time, making a set of staircases appear that lead to an unexplored area of the temple that serves as one of the game's dungeons. The sword's initial locations marks a link between ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', as it resides in the temple's ruins, a place that is notably similar to the sword's resting place in ''A Link To The Past''. |

| − | |||
| − | Some fans believe that during the boss battle against [[Possessed Zelda#Twilight Princess|Puppet Zelda]], the light infusion of the sword gives it the ability to repel projectile attacks being sent at Link in order to damage the foe. However, there is no evidence to support this as the Master Sword was perfectly able to do this in previous games without the light infusion. In fact, this ability of repelling these evil attacks could be part of the sword's "[[Power to Repel Evil|power to repel evil]]". The most likely answer is simply because the sword is highly reflective due to the fact the [[Bottle|Empty Bottle]]s can be used for the same purpose in a few games of the series. |

||
| − | The Master Sword in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' is the legendary blade that rests in the [[Lost Woods]] of northwestern [[Hyrule]] in a pedestal with ancient [[Hylian]] inscribed on it.<ref>{{cite|Take the three Pendants into the Lost Woods. The Master Sword awaits you there.|Sahasrahla|A Link to the Past}}</ref> The ancient text says the hero with three symbols of virtue will wield it on cataclysm's eve, reading: "''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''."<ref>{{cite|The Hero's triumph on Cataclysm's Eve Wins three symbols of virtue.

| − | In order to defeat the evil wizard [[Agahnim]] that has taken over [[Hyrule Castle]], Link must obtain the Master Sword.<ref>{{cite|The only weapon potent enough to defeat the wizard is the legendary Master Sword.|Loyal Sage|ALTTP}}</ref> However, before the young hero can wield it, he must first acquire the three [[Pendants of Virtue]] that are scattered throughout the land.<ref>{{cite|Not just anyone can use that weapon. Legends say only the Hero who has won the three Pendants can wield the sword.|Sahasrahla|ALTTP}}</ref> After doing so, he retrieves the sacred blade from the [[Pedestal of Time]] within the Lost Woods, defeating Agahnim with it and, eventually, [[Ganon]]. With Hyrule safe from evil, Link places the Master Sword back in its pedestal, never to be used again.<ref>{{cite|AND THE MASTER SWORD SLEEPS AGAIN... FOREVER!|N/A|A Link to the Past}}</ref> |

| − | Moreover, he can obtain the magic of the [[Bombos Medallion|Bombos]], [[Quake Medallion|Quake]], and [[Ether Medallion]] by holding the Master Sword up into the sky next to certain inscriptions around Hyrule.<ref>{{cite|Hold up the Master Sword and you will get the magic of Ether.|Inscription|ALTTP}}</ref> Also, the only time seen in the series, during the course of the game Link can upgrade the Master Sword. Its first upgrade is the [[Tempered Sword|tempered shape]], acquired by bringing the Master Sword to the [[Dwarven Swordsmiths]] in The Smithery located on the outskirts of Kakariko Village, after Link reunite the two dwarves and pay a ridiculous amount of 10 rupees as a big discount for reunite them. In the tempered shape, the Master Sword is two times stronger than its standard form (the Sword Beam still has the same power of the normal form however), has a glowing orange blade and make a deeper swing sound as opposed to the usual slash sound. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Its second and last upgrade is the [[Golden Sword|golden shape]], acquired by giving the Master Sword or Tempered Sword to the [[Fat Fairy]] in the [[Mysterious Pond]] of the Dark World within the [[Pyramid of Power]], accessible by blowing up the entrance using the [[Super Bomb]]. In the golden shape, the Master Sword is four times stronger (this time including the Sword Beam) than its standard form, killing almost any enemies in one hit, has a golden blade and green hilt, has the ability to break jars and skull jars, and also make a deeper swing sound like the tempered form. Since the Master Sword is already a powerful weapon, in its golden shape, it seems logical to be one of the strongest sword in all of the ''Legend of Zelda'' series. |

| − | ====''Oracle of Seasons'' and ''Oracle of Ages''==== |
||
| − | [[File:Master Sword-oracle.png|left]]The Master Sword makes a reappearance in the [[Oracle Series|''Oracle'' series]], fittingly as the most powerful sword in the game. When combined with the power of the [[Red Ring]], the Master Sword is capable of taking down almost any boss in two to three [[Spin Attack]]s. The only way to unlock the Master Sword is to have finished one of the games, and to have started a [[Linked Game]] on the opposite game. When a [[Linking Secrets|certain secret]] in the game is found and told to [[Farore (Oracle)|Farore]], she will upgrade the [[Noble Sword]] Link currently holds into the Master Sword. However, if Link still has the Wooden Sword, the Wooden Sword will become the Noble Sword, and the Master Sword will be found where the Noble Sword would have been. |

| − | ==Discrepancies== |
||
| − | Until the release of ''Skyward Sword'', the origin of the Master Sword was never seen and only alluded to it what could be considered legends that were corrupted by oral tradition, others may be the fault of mistranslations from Japanese. According to the English manual of ''A Link to the Past'', after [[Ganon]] entered the [[Golden Land]] and obtained the [[Triforce]], the people of [[Hyrule]] forged a sword resistant to magic, which could even repulse powers granted by the Triforce.<ref>{{cite manual|quote=Suspecting that Ganon's power was based on the Triforce's magic, the people of Hyrule forged a sword resistant to magic which could repulse even powers granted by the Triforce. This mighty weapon became known as the blade of evil's bane, or the Master Sword.|game=A Link to the Past|page=5}}</ref> The seven Sages searched for one worthy of wielding the Master Sword, but never found such a person, leaving them, with the aid of the knights of Hyrule, to seal away Ganon instead.<ref>{{cite manual|quote=As the Seven Wise Men searched for a valiant person to take up the Master Sword, Ganon's evil army swarmed from the tainted Golden Land into Hyrule and attacked the castle.|game=A Link to the Past|page=6}}</ref> Although the mistranslated English manual states that the Master Sword was not created until after Ganon invaded the Golden Land, the Japanese manual states that it was forged long before the [[Imprisoning War]].<ref name=Origin>{{cite manual|quote=However, it could not be assumed that only a good person would get their hands on the Triforce. For that reason, the people of Hyrule were told by the gods to make something that would repulse any evil that may kidnap the Triforce: the blade of evil's bane.|game=The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (JP version)|page=7}}</ref> The location of the blade was already forgotten by the time of the Imprisoning War, and no hero was found worthy of wielding it.<ref>{{cite manual|quote=The Sages first had to search for the existence of the Master Sword and a hero to use it.|game=The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (JP version)|page=7}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Both the English and Japanese manual of ''A Link to the Past'' describe that the Master Sword was forged by the people of Hyrule, and not necessarily by the Ancient Sages. It isn't until ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' that [[Princess Zelda#Twilight Princess|Princess Zelda]] mentions the Ancient Sages crafted the Master Sword.<ref name=Quote1>{{cite|Our world is one of balance... Just as there is light to drive away darkness, so, too, is there benevolence to banish evil. Head for the [[Sacred Grove|sacred grove]] that lies deep within the [[Faron Province|lands]] guarded by the spirit [[Faron (Spirit)|Faron]]. There you will find the blade of evil's bane that was crafted by the wisdom of the [[Sage|ancient sages]]...the Master Sword. The Master Sword is a sacred blade that evil can never touch. Evil cloaks you like a dark veil... and that blade is the only thing that can cleave it.|Zelda|Twilight Princess}}</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''Skyward Sword'', which takes place at the beginning of the [[Zelda Timeline]], reveals the complete and true origin of the Master Sword, revealing that it was forged into its well-known current form from being the Goddess Sword crated by the goddess Hylia.<ref name=skyward>{{cite web|quote=In an interview with Gamespot, producer Eiji Aonuma clarified some of the finer points of Skyward Sword‘s storyline – namely that the Skyward Sword is found above the clouds in Skyloft and not below the ground.|url=http://www.zeldauniverse.net/zelda-news/eiji-aonuma-talks-skyward-sword-story-controls/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ZeldaUniverse+%28Zelda+Universe%29|title=Eiji Aonuma Talks Skyward Sword Story, Controls|site=zeldauniverse.net}}</ref> It should be noted that symbols of the Sages are, in fact, at the [[Temple of Hylia]], implying that they were, as stated in ''Twilight Princess'', involved in the forging of its original form. |

||
| − | [[File:lightsword.jpg|frame|The Master Sword infused with the power of the Sols.]] |
||
| − | When the Master Sword was first introduced in artworks of ''A Link to the Past'', the sword's grip was red and its cross-guard yellow (in-game, both the grip and guard are red). However, in its pedestal, the Master Sword has the traditional blue grip and blue guard (and the tempered shape, a upgrade of the Master Sword accessible during the game, regain the traditional blue grip and blue guard). A good explanation would be that at this time in the Decline Timeline, where Hyrule decline and diminish over time and Ganon conquered the Golden Land and the Triforce, the Master Sword's power to repel evil is weaker than ever (explaining also why the Master Sword in its normal form hurt Ganon only with Spin Attacks), and the sword regain its power only after being tempered or enchanted by the Fat Fairy, where the Master Sword becomes more powerful than any other of its appearances in the series. However, after its task is accomplished, the sword will regain its original shape. The Triforce can be seen engraved in the lower part of the blade. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Master Sword's most known ability is the power to vanquish evil and break curses that involve [[Shadow Crystal|powerful, dark magic]]. However, in order to keep the power to repel evil intact, two Sages, known as the [[Earth Sage]] and the [[Wind Sage]], are in charge of praying to the gods and thus infuse the Master Sword with the gods' power.<ref name=korl>{{cite|The fact that the Master Sword lost the power to repel evil suggests to me that something has happened to the sages who infused the blade with the gods' power.|King of Red Lions|TWW}}</ref> Should something happen to these Sages, the Master Sword will weaken and lose its might to combat evil. |

Revision as of 17:42, 27 January 2012
Multiple Languages
I don't think we should have the English and Spanish articles on the same page. Could someone please create a template for es:Subject?
- Doesn't really seem practical to have duplicate, foreign language articles here. Perhaps spanish speakers should use Wikipedia.es. --Adam 13:46, 12 July 2007 (PDT)
Seed quotes
Are these really necessary? Yes, it's interesting to note that they added different phrases for each of these items, but do we really need a breakdown of what each of the items causes him to say? Promoting removal of quotes. --Ando 19:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't know Ando-these facts are interesting-I think we should keep them SOMEWHERE on the Wiki, and it adds some detail to what is a VERY small page to begin with. ZeldaGirl96 01:37, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps. Is there any way we can make it look better, though? At the very least a splitting of this article into MM and OoA sections would be lovely. I'll see what I can do. User:Ando/sig 03:49, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm going to have to say no on that. It is short and does not take up much space. Besides, I spent twenty minutes trying to get him to take a Bombchu. Mostly because I ran out of Bombchu and had to get more, they are not cheap.User:Matt/sig 03:54, July 12, 2008 (UTC)
True Idenity
I tryed using the floating hack in MM to try and get under him and identify him. However, it is too dificult, I mean if you get too low you die, and if you go to high, you end up on the first floor. I guess we would have to find out the way we found out that the person from Super Mario Sunshine was a tanned Running Man. -- կրակ (խոսել) -- 02:57, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm wondering if the origins of ??? might be the toilet ghost of Korean folklore. It appears as a hand sticking out of the toilet and asks if you prefer red or blue. (The answer determines how it kills you.) While Korea and Japan aren't on the friendliest of terms, I've seen cultural exchange between the two in media before, and this seems like just the sort of crazy story that the Zelda team would reference as a joke. --User:Bodo/sig 23:28, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Phoeni
In Skyward Sword, this thing is female, and is named Phoeni.KrytenKoro 04:25, 4 December 2011 (EST)
- Can you please cite your source? This sounds pretty "Phoeni" to me. User:Abdullah/sig 04:30, 4 December 2011 (EST)
- Unfortunately, I have already completed the quest with Karane and Pipit, and can no longer go back and use Fi on the hand, but the Prima guide gives the name as Phoeni. This should be quick to confirm for anyone who chose the other path.KrytenKoro 04:38, 4 December 2011 (EST)
- Does anyone have access to a non-PipitandKarane save file?KrytenKoro 19:09, 5 December 2011 (EST)
- Unfortunately, I have already completed the quest with Karane and Pipit, and can no longer go back and use Fi on the hand, but the Prima guide gives the name as Phoeni. This should be quick to confirm for anyone who chose the other path.KrytenKoro 04:38, 4 December 2011 (EST)
- "This is the hand of a ghost. The ghost's original name is unknown. Judging from its appearance, I calculate a 90% chance it belonged to a young girl. Over 80% of ghosts are said to harbor some kind of unfulfilled desire. I suggest you cease being scared and speak to her."
- "This is the hand of a ghost. Identity while alive is unknown. Judging from the look of this hand, the probability that it was a young girl's is 90%. Master, the letter you gave her from Cawlin has inspired feelings for him. The original purpose of the letter is still unclear."
Those are the only two comments Fi makes about her. I'll change her name back in light of this. However, I'd like it if you could find the pages that call her "Phoeni" so that we can source it somewhere. User:Abdullah/sig 04:16, 20 December 2011 (EST)
- ...huh. Well gotdammit, Prima.
- Anyway, it's the page in the side quest appendix covering the Cawlin quest. I'll try to look it up when I get home.KrytenKoro 09:41, 20 December 2011 (EST)
Moaning Myrtle
Is it possible that ??? from SS could be a reference of “moaning” Myrtle from the Harry Potter-series? I mean, both of them is ghosts and both of them live on toilets. --Niklas 10:53, 26 January 2012 (EST) Template:OT
- How is that Off-Topic? I just thought of it, so we could set it in on trivia or something as a referance! --Niklas 12:42, 27 January 2012 (EST)
