  Thanks for watching this look into the Master Sword's abilities! There are so many I couldn't even cover them all in detail without this video being insanely long, but another huge one is the power to break the curse on Link during Twilight Princess! A huge thank you again to Heroic Replicas for sending me such a beautiful sword, I still genuinely can't believe it!

  The most important ability of the master sword is to notify when the wii control has low battery

  &quot;The eternal hero of Hyrule, Link, is only ever as strong as the items he carries with him.&quot;<br>[Proceeds to kill Ganon with a pot lid and nothing else]

  Don&apos;t forget one of it&apos;s much lesser talked about abilities: The ability to either transform an existing sheath/scabbard to fit itself into or create a fitting one out of nothing immediately after Link gets possession of it.

  That last line about the master sword carrying the power and hope of Hyrule’s people is eerily similar to what Eiji Aonuma said about the fierce deity mask. He essentially said the exact same thing about the residents of Termina in terms of whose soul was inside the mask, so maybe that’s why the fierce deity resembles link? Maybe the fierce deity mask is the Terminian counterpart to the master sword? It does sort of make link age after all 🧐🧐

  I love that he used the phrase &quot;*regular* magical sword designed to oust evil.&quot; We may as well also point out that Link is no <b>ordinary</b> magic-wielding, time-traveling, dimension-traversing, boulder-tossing, fairy-capturing, ghost-busting, earthenware-smashing, generationally-recurring, nigh-mute elf kid who can also play songs by ear on an obscure 19th-century wind instrument. You know, just for clarity&apos;s sake.

  Zeltik: &quot;of all the swords that Link has had in his arsenal, one sword stands out from the rest&quot;<br><br>Me: The BigGoron Sword

  The detail I love most about the sword is the name. Skyward Sword hints that it was never actually given the name of Master Sword, and that the name is a simple reference to the first owner; Link, who she lovingly refers to as her master. To Fi, she will always be Master&apos;s sword.

  Zeltik... you missed a prime opportunity to drop the most iconic line in the series! The Master Sword is a vessel containing the hopes and prayers of sages and princesses passed. When Link wields it, he&apos;s not alone. It&apos;s all summed up at the very beginning of the very first game: &quot;It&apos;s dangerous to go alone. Take this.&quot;

  Might be interesting for a future Zelda game to give the Master Sword a “skill tree” that would allow players to spec into different abilities the sword has had across various games

  Here&apos;s something often overlooked when dealing with &quot;ancient weapons&quot;, just because someone created something doesn&apos;t mean they conceived of every possible use for it. It could very well be that the medallions in LttP were the products of sages between OoT and LttP that studied the sword and came up with new ways to utilize its power.<br>Technology evolves over time. New people edit and overhaul existing designs. It really shouldn&apos;t be any different with magical items. We even see in LBW that the blacksmiths at the time are capable of either upgrading the Master Sword&apos;s blade edge, or at the very least repairing the wear and tear of the ages so much that it looks like upgrading.<br>New sages and blacksmiths probably can&apos;t (and really shouldn&apos;t be able to) vastly increase the immense power that Hylia and the Golden Goddess put into the blade, but there&apos;s no reason to think that they couldn&apos;t essentially make it more efficient. And add bells and whistles.

  It’s nothing compared to the master bottle, the bane of Ganondorf during tennis battles
