@@brett9356 When you have the physical version of the game, you can delete data related to the game and you're back at 1.0.0. But I'm not sure if saves from a newer version are compatible with older ones. If you play on an emulator, the update can simply be deactivated.
That's a shame, and honestly, I'm kinda relieved. A LOT of steps just to get an unbreakable Master Sword. I do hope Nintendo releases a DLC which is similar to "Trial of the Sword" so you can unlock it's full power
Agreed. Would love a video on the technical explanation for how this works under the hood - I assume whoever figured this out has a deeper understanding of how this takes advantage of the way the game stores information in ram
Well most likely they just keep an eye open. We DID discover a glitch that duplicates a weapon at your feet by saving, doing some stuff and loading. When someone saw that starting a new game creates an auto-savefile they likely wondered "Ok does that glitch work between those two?", maybe just to get an edge for a new game to get an OP starting weapon. Then discovered that activated the item menu and thought "Ok then can I use this to send the Master Sword back too?" and it just happened to work.
I honestly think the master sword should be unbreakable in its base form but i think its awakened form that activates in depths should be the form that runs out of energy and has to recharge, its not a particularly op weapon by the time you get it back you should already have weapons with better attack power for fairly cheap than its base form. so I dont understand why it has to break like this it makes no sense from a lore perspective at the stage of the game you get it and it is also doesn't make sense from a balancing perspective especially since running an unbreakable weapon just mashing it wont save you if you suck at the game anyways when mobs surround and strafe behind you.
I dont think you understand how crazy base 30 power is in this game. Like yeah in BOTW a case can be made since good weapons are around 60-ish damage...but TOTK is all about fusion. Its why most weapons are decayed now so that when you fuse them it doesn't become too strong. For comparison, a royal broadsword in this game is one third of the master sword's base damage before any fusions. That's a big ass difference.
The Master Sword should be a unique item that cant be fused. I totaly agree with rusty blader. The Master Sword was always a holy weapon an now it got even stronger in lore than before. This weapon breaking bullsh*t needs to stop at some point. Just take the fusion part away from the Master Sword and make it unbreakable. That would be enough for me. And even that it is more like a emergency weapon
@@Incel-Master don’t know what’s the lore explanation in BOTW either. The memories show that the master sword didn’t break during the great calamity, but was slowly being eaten out by malice from the guardians. My own head canon is the sword 🗡 deteriorated with time. And as with one of the memories here in TOTK, the sword has the ability to protect its blade with sacred light (the blue glow) and heal itself of it breaks (10 minutes recharge) no other sword can do these things. (It’s a self explanatory way to look it positively)
have you ever noticed that when you die you reload an old save file but yet that old save file has a new icon on the map of where you died? this means that the game pulls other data onto your save file, this is how weapon duplication works, so knowing this you start playing around with the menus and save files, the master sword cannot break in the early game before Ganon so knowing that it’s simple, pull the master sword from a new game to your old save, so you just play around with the order of how you do things similar to how the duplication glitch works because we already know that works
@@KobeLoverTatum Yeah and this way they found a glitch that duplicates weapons by saving, doing some stuff, then loading the old savefile, and then a weapon from before you loaded just appears in your old save. So knowing that works, when someone started a new game and noticed it creates an auto save that you can load into along the old savefile, it was only natural to see what happens if you do that glitch between your main save and the new game auto save. Seing that works and activates the menu, it's only natural to see if the reverse is true too.
Hey friend, I just really really really want to say thank you. I have been trying to do this glitch for ever now, literally hours, following other people’s videos but have not been able to. I finally came across your video, because I could not for the life of me figure out what tiny little thing I was doing wrong or not doing at all, and with you not skipping on the little details I finally changed one tiny thing in my attempt and finally got the sword. Thank you so much!!!
I feel like the Master Sword should already be unbreakable though. Or, at the very least, you should be allowed to make it unbreakable through some sort of quest or achievement.
@@chriscortez2036 at the start of the breath of the wild, i think everyone had that feeling as well. Yet its still breakable... But im pretty sure there is a reason for it, but that's for the developers to decide whether its best or not to keep it. I just hope there is no patch that will cause an error to those that did these glitches. don't want to start all over again. 0.0
@chriscortez2036 30 base damage + x2 in depths + fuse + already good durability + 25 fuse durability point. The master sword is already very strong by itself, more in this game than before, making it unbreakable would be ridiculous.
for some people the fusing might not stay after you leave the shrine. it's kinda sad but you still have a perma 30dmg sword. though you cant fuse anything with it, nor can display it at home, but you can use it while the real one is recharging
Yup I got the sword. Fused and it disappeared. I found going to the end of the shrine it deletes the attachment. If you teleport out it stays for roughly 5 minutes. Still fun to have a 30 damage sword that can’t break.
Worked perfectly at my first try!!! Awsome and simple video congtrats! Make sure to save your game and then load before going out of the shrine and don't walk out of the shrine, warp out of it. ALSO remember to grab your shields back before you reload haha
Thank you so much! You just made this game so much more enjoyable for me. I HATE the weapon breaking system in botw and totk, and I like to only use the master sword when I get it, and now I can finally make this game much more like a traditional Zelda!
At first I thought it was a loophole because the Master Sword doesn't "break" it needed to recharge. But then I remember the sword getting wrecked by Mummy Ganondorf.

Just did this last night on 1.1.1 - I used another guide that only used 1 rock, after 20 tries I was about to give up as I was sure I was doing things right. What worked for me: - Stacked 2 rocks instead of just using 1 and the weapon finally spawned on stairs in new game save - Master Sword wasn't in water on main save BUT... - Used 1 boulder to get higher, found sword in wall (same wall you did glitch on) Hope this helps for anyone having issues.

there’s an easier way to fuse items to the master sword, stand against a wall and hold the msg not found, then open the map on the wheel where all your ability’s are. Before the map opens spam right on the d-pad and drop the msg not found and spam right on the d-pad and equip an unfused weapon. When the map opens, press plus to open the pause menu and drop the equipped unfused weapon. then fuse it to something and drop it and pick up the master sword (don’t pick up the other weapon).
@@jaqueline9279 make sure your holding out the msg not found out and your using an unfused weapon and equip and unequip the master sword when you’re done
I’m bummed this won’t work but I’m confused. You say after map opens drop unfused item and fuse it with something. What do you mean by that part? Fuse another weapon to the unfused weapon? Or am I supposed to pick it back up and fuse an item to it? No matter what method I try my fake master sword stays at 30.
Thanks! I was kinda getting sick of it not having the ability to increase durability through fuse or awakening, INCLUDING having an entire nerf of 60-40 durability. Nintendo, what the hell?
It took me a while to get it but I understand the mechanics now. When you drop a weapon but go back into pause you have to do it fast enough that the weapon hasn’t actually dropped yet. I don’t know if dropping the 2nd weapon is required but when you reload the auto-save that instruction to drop a weapon is still pending and gets processed once you load the autosave. Then repeat it when switching the master sword back into your original saved game.
Hi Bear, i would like to make a few corrections/clarifications: 1. The zuggle you've shown is kind of strange, and definitely not necessary. Drop the weapon you want to transfer from (far from the wall), equip MNF, face the wall, use the scope to do 180, but don't perfectly perpendicular to the wall. Parry three times, put down your shield, open your inventory, if you have three identical weapons (the best choice, you can also use long sticks for maximum success rate, but it's not needed), sort your inventory, equip the leftmost one, and then drop them from right to left, then equip MNF and drop it, then hit ++ as quick as you can. If it says you can't do that there but the three weapons are on the floor, then it worked. Pick up the weapon you dropped at the start, switch weapon, and then switch back. Congratulations, you got it. Sometimes, MNF will revert to how it was originally after exiting the shrine. To avoid this, simply save beforehand 2. The dropped weapons don't have to be unfused, the three i always use are, and they work perfectly fine 3. I've seen this misconception a lot, but what zuggle does isn't fusing a weapon to another. All it does is transfer durability, modifiers and fused materials. This means that the total damage isn't transferred either 4. I found out you can display MNF, by zuggling WITHOUT switching weapon at the end, and simply clicking display 5. As long as you save at the correct time, and make sure you have only two autosaves underneath the castle, MNF steal WILL work. If you have more, load your main save and start again. If you do it properly, you will never risk losing your main save. I did it twice lmao 6. This weapon can be A LOT stronger than one would think. It can do up to 388 damage in one normal hit. ((30+10+32)×2×1.5)×1.8 This is thanks to: Molduga jaw (32+) Modifier (10+) 1 durability (×2) Level 3 attack up food (×1.5) Bone proficiency (1.8) Don't worry, one durability won't make it break. MNF doesn't even have a durability value to begin with, it's just hardcoded to never break. It won't show 388 damage, because most of it comes from external buffs. The max it will show is 72. The damage is doubled if it's a jump attack, and becomes even higher if it's a sneak attack or the enemy is frozen, but these last two are very specific, they won't be too useful normally. This search for the most damage in one hit with one weapon is just for fun, and let me tell you, finding out you can do 3844 damage is really fun. Hope this helps!
Excellent. Thank you. I will try it out. I duplicated mnf x3. Here's to a Silver Lynel blade with a.....Gloom sword (To damage them over time) or Light Dragon Horn (to heal myself on hits) or with an Ancient part to create a One-hit obliterator...Master sword/s.
@JustRick I didn’t quite understand part 5 of your explanation. When will the game crash, and what are some detailed steps I can perform to prevent any data corruption or crashes? also, does storing MNF the place where you can save weapons solve this issue?
How are you getting the low durability damage and +10 on the mnf. I did this with the royal knight sword at 1 durability with +10 on it and everything. It only shows 62 on my mnf and damage is eh. Triple element is insane tho.
I got to say, alot of these "glitch" videos for TotK and BotW seem to require doing some pretty outlandish actions, and in an outlandish series of steps that just don't make sense to "accidentally" stumble across. But this is a pretty great video.
@@CardiBOntheTV I get some glitches that involve steps that people would normally do, might mess up and boom glitch found, then find a way to exploit it to .. move faster or duplicate an item or whatever. But some glitches seemed way to specific with steps that just don't make sense. I'll have to watch a few glitch videos again to see which ones jumped out at me as being extremely outlandish.
It might be too much for me to learn all of this. Not to mention I seriously like Link in his Green Tunic better, much better in the Green Tunic wielding the Master Sword.
Thank you so much for this guide. Helped me get it. I messed up choosing the right stair to step on because Zelda walked by but the good thing is I could keep loading that file until I found the right step and maintained my shrine autosave. I know this can't be obtained with the newest update so glad to have it for whenever I decide to (probably when dlc releases).
personally, im fine with it doing less damage, in other games there were sometimes better weapons than the master sword, like the biggoron sword or fairy sword. i just want it to be unbreakable.
don't forget that you can't put the new master sword away or else your fused weapon will disappear and also this master sword can drop when link gets elektricuted
@@xNevoro I mean that if you equip another weapon the fusion between the MsgNotFound Master sword and whatever weapon you used to add an item damage can disappear wich in my case happened when I got hit by an electric bat and had the Standart 30 damage sword back
What shocks me even more than the fact that this works and that someone discovered it, is the fact that the RAM between two totally isolated save games is not cleared *entirely*.
I found that after fighting the Gloom Hands and Phantom Ganon, the unbreakable Master Sword seems to stay in the glowing state, even when fused It does go away after unequipping or using fast travel
For those who can't get ur item to stay when you fuse your sword, fuse it in the overworld then go far away till the other fused item despawns and then the item should stay on ur sword
***READ THIS BEFORE ATTEMPTING*** Make sure the chest in the shrine is opened BEFORE attempting any of this. If you haven't opened the chest, knock it down, open it, LEAVE THE SHRINE, then start this video from the beginning. If the chest hasn't been opened, the weapon you drop will not spawn on the stairs underneath Hyrule Castle.
I followed the steps to the letter, even using the same weapons as him, but at step 15 the transferred weapon isn't appearing. Does it have something to do with the fact i got two autosaves from the intro?
I just can not do it, tried for hours, got the weapon to spawn 3 times under the castle, but when i go back to the master sword it's never there in the current save. what am i doing wrong :S
Not only was I able to get this Master Sword but was also able to take it and fuse it to a cannon Zonai device using a another glitch. Now it can fire barrages at enemies nearly decimating them with explosions! Bokoblins better ready themselves to die! >:).
If you run back up the stairs and break the mural, does Zelda have a reaction? Since you dropped a fused weapon, you can break the rubble on the murals
This is huge. It literally teleports the master sword or anyone weapon to the beginning of the game. I wonder if there are other places you can do this
Im going to do this because it'll be a novel little thing to show off to people if it ever gets patched and because i think it's funny to have 2 masterswords to beat ganons ass with

Beard bear it doesn’t matter if you hit that cracked pillar with the master sword or not, when you hit it you got a blue sparkle so it doesn’t take up durability any color other than blue when you hit it will take durability
So to get the fusion to stay just manual save the game and then you are good to go, my master sword is fused with a diamond for 55 damage abd im clowning everything with it
I've tried many times to fuse the master sword and i think i'm doing it well, but when i drop the fused weapon, there's no msg not found on the floor. Only one weapon, the fake ms remains in my inventory. Can anybody help me?
Do u have to keep the msgNotFound sword in the inventory after everything? I have my fused master sword but i‘m not sure if i have to keep the msg not found sword in my inventory

Before the map opens spam right on the d-pad and drop the msg not found and spam right on the d-pad and equip an unfused weapon. When the map opens, press plus to open the pause menu and drop the equipped unfused weapon. then fuse it to something and drop it and pick up the master sword (don’t pick up the other weapon).
Thanks, I couldn't replicate the method in the video but this worked perfectly.
Are u sure the process is exactly like this, I tried many times and it didn’t work for me 😢
@@jaqueline9279 make sure your holding out the msg not found out and your using an unfused weapon and equip and unequip the master sword when you’re done
Thank you so much! This worked perfectly
I’m bummed this won’t work but I’m confused. You say after map opens drop unfused item and fuse it with something. What do you mean by that part? Fuse another weapon to the unfused weapon? Or am I supposed to pick it back up and fuse an item to it? No matter what method I try my fake master sword stays at 30.
Thanks! I was kinda getting sick of it not having the ability to increase durability through fuse or awakening, INCLUDING having an entire nerf of 60-40 durability. Nintendo, what the hell?
It took me a while to get it but I understand the mechanics now. When you drop a weapon but go back into pause you have to do it fast enough that the weapon hasn’t actually dropped yet. I don’t know if dropping the 2nd weapon is required but when you reload the auto-save that instruction to drop a weapon is still pending and gets processed once you load the autosave. Then repeat it when switching the master sword back into your original saved game.
Is this working on the latest update? Because i've been trying like crazy and nothing.
@@homebrewGT2 I've been trying to, I can't seem to get it to work
@@canineknifeiv.6514 it was patched apparently

Hi Bear, i would like to make a few corrections/clarifications:
1. The zuggle you've shown is kind of strange, and definitely not necessary. Drop the weapon you want to transfer from (far from the wall), equip MNF, face the wall, use the scope to do 180, but don't perfectly perpendicular to the wall. Parry three times, put down your shield, open your inventory, if you have three identical weapons (the best choice, you can also use long sticks for maximum success rate, but it's not needed), sort your inventory, equip the leftmost one, and then drop them from right to left, then equip MNF and drop it, then hit ++ as quick as you can. If it says you can't do that there but the three weapons are on the floor, then it worked. Pick up the weapon you dropped at the start, switch weapon, and then switch back. Congratulations, you got it.
Sometimes, MNF will revert to how it was originally after exiting the shrine. To avoid this, simply save beforehand
2. The dropped weapons don't have to be unfused, the three i always use are, and they work perfectly fine
3. I've seen this misconception a lot, but what zuggle does isn't fusing a weapon to another. All it does is transfer durability, modifiers and fused materials. This means that the total damage isn't transferred either
4. I found out you can display MNF, by zuggling WITHOUT switching weapon at the end, and simply clicking display
5. As long as you save at the correct time, and make sure you have only two autosaves underneath the castle, MNF steal WILL work. If you have more, load your main save and start again. If you do it properly, you will never risk losing your main save.
I did it twice lmao
6. This weapon can be A LOT stronger than one would think. It can do up to 388 damage in one normal hit.
((30+10+32)×2×1.5)×1.8
This is thanks to:
Molduga jaw (32+)
Modifier (10+)
1 durability (×2)
Level 3 attack up food (×1.5)
Bone proficiency (1.8)
Don't worry, one durability won't make it break. MNF doesn't even have a durability value to begin with, it's just hardcoded to never break.
It won't show 388 damage, because most of it comes from external buffs. The max it will show is 72.
The damage is doubled if it's a jump attack, and becomes even higher if it's a sneak attack or the enemy is frozen, but these last two are very specific, they won't be too useful normally.
This search for the most damage in one hit with one weapon is just for fun, and let me tell you, finding out you can do 3844 damage is really fun.
Hope this helps!
Excellent. Thank you. I will try it out. I duplicated mnf x3. Here's to a Silver Lynel blade with a.....Gloom sword (To damage them over time) or Light Dragon Horn (to heal myself on hits) or with an Ancient part to create a One-hit obliterator...Master sword/s.
@JustRick I didn’t quite understand part 5 of your explanation. When will the game crash, and what are some detailed steps I can perform to prevent any data corruption or crashes?
also, does storing MNF the place where you can save weapons solve this issue?
@@mariotrouncer1794 i actually haven't tried myself, so that's all i know
How are you getting the low durability damage and +10 on the mnf. I did this with the royal knight sword at 1 durability with +10 on it and everything. It only shows 62 on my mnf and damage is eh. Triple element is insane tho.
@@solace2005 gloom sword damages LINK over time, not the enemy
I got to say, alot of these "glitch" videos for TotK and BotW seem to require doing some pretty outlandish actions, and in an outlandish series of steps that just don't make sense to "accidentally" stumble across. But this is a pretty great video.
It's because they aren't accidentally stumbled across, people research into this stuff, put info together, test it out and discover a new glitch.
@@CardiBOntheTV I get some glitches that involve steps that people would normally do, might mess up and boom glitch found, then find a way to exploit it to .. move faster or duplicate an item or whatever. But some glitches seemed way to specific with steps that just don't make sense. I'll have to watch a few glitch videos again to see which ones jumped out at me as being extremely outlandish.
Video games are traditionally a series of smoke and mirrors. These glitches come from studying what's happening under the hood and exploiting it.
@@Dustin_Frost what I meant to say👍
So, it is confirmed… each save can branched into another timeline.
Multiverse confimed!
It might be too much for me to learn all of this. Not to mention I seriously like Link in his Green Tunic better, much better in the Green Tunic wielding the Master Sword.
Same
Thank you so much for this guide. Helped me get it. I messed up choosing the right stair to step on because Zelda walked by but the good thing is I could keep loading that file until I found the right step and maintained my shrine autosave. I know this can't be obtained with the newest update so glad to have it for whenever I decide to (probably when dlc releases).
frfr
personally, im fine with it doing less damage, in other games there were sometimes better weapons than the master sword, like the biggoron sword or fairy sword. i just want it to be unbreakable.
Same. Like what am I going to do when I fight Gannondorf? "Hold on Gannon! My sword broke. Give me ten minutes to get it hard again!"
@@Dustin_Frostin the final fight it never breaks
I’m more impressed that you managed to find the glitch
Thanks. Very easy to follow! Worked like a charm!
The Saved Datas is the Timeline itself.
Mindblown!!!
don't forget that you can't put the new master sword away or else your fused weapon will disappear and also this master sword can drop when link gets elektricuted
Wdym?
@@xNevoro I mean that if you equip another weapon the fusion between the MsgNotFound Master sword and whatever weapon you used to add an item damage can disappear wich in my case happened when I got hit by an electric bat and had the Standart 30 damage sword back
@@TheCludo so if you just switch between weapons in your inventory or when for example your case with the bat happens?
@@xNevoro both, a friend had the weapon swap thing happen to him
@@TheCludo ok so I should make sure to only use the glitched mastersword without swapping, to keep the fusion
What shocks me even more than the fact that this works and that someone discovered it, is the fact that the RAM between two totally isolated save games is not cleared *entirely*.
I found that after fighting the Gloom Hands and Phantom Ganon, the unbreakable Master Sword seems to stay in the glowing state, even when fused
It does go away after unequipping or using fast travel
How would someone even imagine to found this out is beyond me
What if you break the stone boulders that can be broken with a rock hammer in the reset-ed new game?
Step out and back into the shrine to reset
@@Lord_Drip no no what i mean is like if you break the stone boulders in the new game part when youve reset your game
@@Lord_Drip he means the boulders blocking the mural I'm guessing.
Danke!
They really found a glitch using multiversal communication
Thank you, I’ve seen other videos, and putting the chest on the rock did the trick!
Chest worked 1st time the rock was so infuriating 😂
No way that's amazing!! I need to test this out! Do i need an master sword in my main file before i do this? Just to make sure.
No you don't, literally just follow the steps in this video
For those who can't get ur item to stay when you fuse your sword, fuse it in the overworld then go far away till the other fused item despawns and then the item should stay on ur sword
Man I spent hours following the method Blaines posted and got nowhere. First try with this one!
This is the purest form of black magic. Some people are gamers, others are absolute glitch magicians.
***READ THIS BEFORE ATTEMPTING***
Make sure the chest in the shrine is opened BEFORE attempting any of this. If you haven't opened the chest, knock it down, open it, LEAVE THE SHRINE, then start this video from the beginning.
If the chest hasn't been opened, the weapon you drop will not spawn on the stairs underneath Hyrule Castle.
Wait this works in 1.1 2?
@@delta_player5 not sure. I never updated past 1.1.1
@@delta_player5 no it does not
Damn is there a way to go back an update

All this work.., the sword should have been unbreakable from the start… that was the one thing I hated in the last game: breakable weapons
Glitch hunters are making life easier for Nintendo in finding the flaws
I followed the steps to the letter, even using the same weapons as him, but at step 15 the transferred weapon isn't appearing. Does it have something to do with the fact i got two autosaves from the intro?
I’m having the same issue.
it happened to me too
it may have gotten patched in 1.1.2
@@antonoakenshield7362 Just checked, and in v1.1.2 the glitch got patched
I agree! Impossible to have accidently find this out!
I just can not do it, tried for hours, got the weapon to spawn 3 times under the castle, but when i go back to the master sword it's never there in the current save. what am i doing wrong :S
I didn’t expect the video to go fast I laughed at 0:48😂
Im having serious issues making this work but im gonna keep trying xD i cant get the dropped weapon to transfer
Same
I don’t think it works anymore.
It’s amazing that you can transfer shit between game files like this!
Why is there not an unbreakable weaker weapon. The glitched sword makes so much sense for the later half of games
Not only was I able to get this Master Sword but was also able to take it and fuse it to a cannon Zonai device using a another glitch. Now it can fire barrages at enemies nearly decimating them with explosions! Bokoblins better ready themselves to die! >:).
i ended up getting an extra master sword from this
If you run back up the stairs and break the mural, does Zelda have a reaction?
Since you dropped a fused weapon, you can break the rubble on the murals
Once you are down the stairs already, Zelda won't allow you to go back to the mural room.
@@HELLNICE really? I remember running back up there. But this was on day 1 of release. Maybe they changed it with an update.
@@Samus_Knight that’s what I’m guessing
Can’t check it right now since I sent l my switching for overheating.
This is huge. It literally teleports the master sword or anyone weapon to the beginning of the game. I wonder if there are other places you can do this
Ty! Wanted a unbreakable master sword, didnt care if it was strong or not, dont care if I cant fuse to it either, love ya
For some reason I get 2 auto saves in the new game, and I feel like it’s stopping it from working
I was sooo expecting to get Rick Rolled after all those steps.
Wow can’t believe time travel let’s you get both master swords
Thanks Nintendo… you patched one of the best glitches out there.
Im going to do this because it'll be a novel little thing to show off to people if it ever gets patched and because i think it's funny to have 2 masterswords to beat ganons ass with
This is like one of those rumours which that one kid would tell on the playground
“You go to this dead cockroach, stand 2 shoe-lengths away, hop 3 times, spin clockwise 360 degrees, take 3 steps back while looking at the cockroach, and you turn into a ghost”

@@thatnumbersix ooo nice! I Definitely wanna try but I'm also kinda scared I'll lose my maim game by doing this as I did alot already but at the sametime an unbreakable mastersword would be sooooo handy especially if I can fuse some good material to it to make it deal alot of damage
Beard bear it doesn’t matter if you hit that cracked pillar with the master sword or not, when you hit it you got a blue sparkle so it doesn’t take up durability any color other than blue when you hit it will take durability
I’m super confused on the fuse part any tips?
Do exactly as he does
I'm not sure why but i failed it four times in a row, changed nothing, and got it on my fifth attempt. Still this video was amazing
So to get the fusion to stay just manual save the game and then you are good to go, my master sword is fused with a diamond for 55 damage abd im clowning everything with it
Thank you! I will do that as I lost the fuse on mine
I really wish they had included a Trial of the Sword type challenge with the reward being an unbreakable Master Sword.

doing everything exactly but I cant get the master sword to drop during the fusion part

I hate that it 'breaks'. It should just be powerful while it's charged and then when the charge is gone you can still use it but it's not as powerful.
Yes, it should be like a less powerful lightsaber that never breaks.

Does this ruin your save file because I wanna get it on my main save
Edit: I learned doing this on your main save causes save corruption so guys do it on a different account
