The Master Sword is one of the most iconic weapons in video game history, and it makes a triumphant return to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It is a powerful sword with many advantages that you will definitely want to take advantage of. However, the game doesn’t tell you how to get it, and even if you know where to find it, you still need to go through a few steps before you can get your hands on it.
This weapon works differently than any other in the game and can even be upgraded to become unbreakable. All of that and more is covered in this guide. This is how the master sword is inserted. breath of the wild.

Where can you find the master sword?
The Master Sword is found next to the Great Deku Tree in the Korok Forest, in the northern part of Hyrule. To get there, you need to go through the dense Lost Forest. However, it can’t just run like you might expect. Instead, there is a specific path that you must follow to reach Korok Forest. If you stray, you’ll be teleported back to the start, but we’ll show you how to get past it.
Start by heading to the eastern part of the Lost Forest, where you will see a path that leads to the Korok Forest. You can spawn at Woodland Tower as it is the closest shrine. At first you will see different flames so use one to light your torch. The puzzle is simple: follow the direction of the flame of your torch. You will notice that the wind will blow it in a certain direction and what you have to do is follow it. We recommend running about 20 feet, stopping, assessing the direction of the flame, and adjusting if necessary.
Be careful not to drop the torch or the flame will go out. Follow the path checking the direction of the flames and you will eventually reach Korok Forest. When you arrive, you’ll unlock a teleportation point, so you no longer have to run through the forest. Just double here if you need to.
What do you need to get the Master Sword?
When you arrive at Korok Forest, you will see the Master Sword in all its glory. It is on the ground in front of the Great Deku Tree and all you have to do is pull it. But, unsurprisingly, you can’t just walk up and take it out without first completing the requirements. To draw the sword, Link must have 13 permanent heart containers (he doesn’t count consuming a powerful recipe to obtain temporary hearts). This is basically the equivalent of completing 40 shrines (or all Divine Beasts and about 24 shrines, or some combination thereof), so he returns when you have a total of 13 hearts.
Once you’ve done that, walk over to the Master Sword and press AND to pull it out, and finally (after a dramatic sequence), Link will pull it out of the ground. Hurrah! You already have the master sword!
Can a master sword break?
The main reason to get your hands on the Master Sword is that it doesn’t break permanently, unlike most weapons in the game. Instead, it uses a simple reload mechanic. It also has a base damage of 30, which increases to 60 when near Guardians (and other enemies like Ganon). You can upgrade Master Sword’s base damage to 40, 50, or 60 by completing Trial of the Sword as part of The Master Trials DLC, which we’ll cover below.
If you upgrade it to 60 damage, the weapon becomes unbreakable, but you will need to reload it after a while. By default, the weapon may not have the absolute best damage in the game, but since it doesn’t permanently break, it’s worth getting your hands on. Other than that, it looks great.
How do you charge the Master Sword?
The only drawback to the weapon is that it has to be reloaded after it is spent. If you hit something with the sword, be it an enemy or an object in your environment, the weapon will break. After enough damage, it will “break” completely, but not forever.
You don’t have to do anything to refill it after it runs out. Simply wait 10 minutes in-game for it to recharge. You can check the master sword in your inventory to see how much time is left before it becomes available for use again. Note that the weapon will only reload after it is “broken”. Some players have wondered if you can recharge it while it’s still usable, but that’s not possible. Wait for it to run out of juice and then it will start charging. Once recharged, it will be as good as new, you do not need to buy anything or use items to make it work again.
How do you upgrade the Master Sword?
Upgrading the Master Sword is one of the most difficult tasks in the game. To upgrade your weapon, you must complete various stages of the Trial of the Sword challenge, which consists of round-robin battles against waves of enemies. The Trial of the Sword challenge is only available if you have The Master Trials DLC (which can be purchased with the game’s Season Pass).
The reason this challenge is so difficult is because Link starts with nothing: no healing items, armor, weapons, or equipment. As he completes each wave, he can pick up items and carry them over to subsequent rounds, so he’ll want to use his equipment carefully and sparingly. There are 23 floors in total, with three checkpoints throughout the challenge.
There are no save points between rounds, but if you reach certain floors, you can start there instead of at the start of the entire challenge. The tests come in three sets: initial, intermediate, and final. These are the prizes for each series of tests:
- Novice (Floor 1 to 12): Master Sword Damage 40
- Medium (Floors 13-16): Main Sword Damage 50
- Ending (Floors 17-23): Master Sword Damage 60
To start the Trial of Sword challenge, talk to the Great Deku Tree in the Korok Forest (after purchasing the DLC). The tree will inform you that you can upgrade the sword by completing circular trials, which is much harder than it sounds.
The previous floors are not too difficult, so you have to use them to collect as many supplies as possible. Try your best to clear each wave without getting hit so you can save your healing items for the harder floors later. It is also recommended that you collect the weapons that your enemies drop, as you will need all the supplies you can get for the later stages. It’s best to pull enemies in to engage them one on one rather than multiple enemies at once.
Occasionally you’ll find a safe level that contains a large amount of cooking supplies that you can get healing items for. Use these levels to give yourself a breather and make sure you grab as much as you can to stay well equipped. Remember, if you die, you start over from the beginning of the last checkpoint (one, 13, or 17, depending on how far you got).
After completing floor 23, you are rewarded with a max level Master Sword, capped at 60 damage, along with a fancy new lightning attack. This challenge is absolutely difficult, but it is worth it because the benefits are incredible.
