![]() | A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on October 21, 2021. The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was designed to be an origin story for the Master Sword? |
Despite fan insistence, neither the Magical Sword nor the White Sword are actually the Master Sword; Nintendo had the chance to make it so when this game was ported to the Game Boy Advance, but they did not.
Now this is not *wrong*, but it's not *right* either. Nintendo didn't (to my knowledge) change Gannon, Rupy, Rupies, etc. etc. etc. nor did they correct the Old man's tentative grasp of the English language. Now I'm not going to revert it (well, I don't have the power to, but that's not the point!), but I don't think this is really "true" as such, judging by the other errors still featured in the game. What do you think? Please discuss. Master Thief Garrett 09:49, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Note that many do not consider the Wind Waker proper canon.
If someone would state where it's said that the Master Sword is also called the "Sword of Evil's Bane" it would be more authoritive. Cúchulainn 00:08, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)
Erm, it's called SoEB up, down and across Ocarina of Time. Sheik, Rauru, the manual, and the player's guide all refer to it as such. There are a couple in-game references in other games too. Adam Marx Squared 00:25, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
"Soul Calibur II and Super Smash Bros: MeleeLink's basic and most balanced weapon and companion to the Hylian Shield."
One problem, besides the colon of course: SSBM has no relevance _whatsoever_ to the storyline, whereas various interpretations of the storyline include SCII. Furthermore, I said "basic and most balanced weapon" because in SCII he has a number of weapons that are not the Master Sword & Hylian Shield (such as the Cane of Byrna, Mirror Shield or Razor Sword). If we use it in this sense, the Master Sword is actually his ONLY weapon in SSBM, the Bow, Bombs and Boomerang aside. For now, however, I will not remove it. For now.
Perhaps it would be better to organize first by name (magical sword vs. Master Sword) and then by game? --Tydaj 00:38, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I belive that the first time the Master Sword appeared (according to the timeline of all of the games together) was in OoT. Even though A Link to the Past was created first, wasn't it set later in the timeline than OoT? --A.J. 20:31, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
OoT was a prequal to The Legend of Zelda in the story line's chronology, but in actuality since LoZ was the first game, which inspired OoT, it carried the first notion of it having the virtue of being made first. I suppose you would have to decide on which sense to use, the storyline or real-time. EreinionFile:RAHSymbol.JPG 23:06, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
It's peculiar in that it's a sort of an anachronism (B is A because A is B sort of case). I think it should be stated that the term was first introduced to the public in the first game, but was used as a catalyst for the use in OoT, which consolodated the storyline.

OoT was not the first game created, but came first on the timeline. So the first appearence of the Master Sword was infact in Ocarina. So the main pic should be a pic of the sword from OoT.Toonami Reactor (talk) 14:50, 17 October 2008 (UTC)But that is only if you were to talk about timline wise (Which, to me, would be proper).Toonami Reactor (talk) 14:52, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Who cares about timeline? This is an encyclopedia, not a fan page. I want factual information. Not fictional what ifs.129.139.1.68 (talk) 16:53, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've been going through the article, and it feels very choppy. Does anyone object to my going through the entire article and fixing up some of the sections to make them flow a bit smoother? None of the information will be changed, or the article organization, just the sections themselves. If I don't get an objection by tomorrow, I'll proceed.

I was playing ocarina of time and I noticed that during the cutscene where you remove the master sword from its pedestal, there appears to be something written on the gold spot above the guard. Here are some screenshots. [1][2] Can anyone tell if it's Kanji or if it's just gibberish? Ziiv 04:49, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I was looking at a the official art for TW and in one of the pictures of link with the master sword I noticed some Hylian writing on the top of the hilt and on the golden diamond thing.--Suprboy772 (talk) 02:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This peaked my interest and i have to agree witht he first post. When young link first grabs the hilt of the sword it is the gold diamond however when he pulls it out the design changes. This probably dosent mean anything but yes, its true. 67.142.161.33 (talk) 20:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've moved Hyrule to Universe of The Legend of Zelda series, and am considering merging this into that as an "artifact of the series' universe". Comments? - A Link to the Past (talk) 04:07, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In the article it states that the Master Sword can control time. Whether this was ntended literally or for OoT's story line is debatable in my mind. The sword itself cannot control time, Raru states that after Child Link drew the sword from its pedestol he sealed Link's body in the chamber of sages for (roughly) 7 years. This was done so Link was able to wield the Master Sword in and all of its power. The sword however cannot control time, it merely acts as a bridge between the past (child Link) and the future (Adult Link). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.161.34 (talk) 18:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Greenish Pickle! I've only just recently had a discussion with Cukie Gherkin and we agreed to include it in the reception to replace another image. Its purpose is to illustrate how the sword has become an integral part of the character's visual identity e.g. as shown in cosplay. Fieryninja (talk) 10:22, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reception should form as paragraph not like this GreenishPickle! (🔔) 00:33, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
