    Which one is the strongest?
    The last upgraded mastersword (the golden sword) in A link to the past/Link between worlds or the ToTK master sword?

    • @GuyLinkBrushGaming
      @GuyLinkBrushGaming  Рік тому +17

      This is an interesting question! I'm gonna pin your comment. I would like to know people's thoughts on the most powerful Master Sword in Zelda games. Personally, I believe that the Golden Sword is more powerful than the ToTK version since most enemies can be defeated in a single hit. However, in my opinion, the most powerful Master Sword in the Zelda series is the one in Skyward Sword. It holds significance as the first game in the Zelda timeline and houses the spirit of the Goddess Sword, Fi, within it. The only drawback is that the Sword Beam takes some time to charge.

      I'd say lore-wise, it's probably TotK's since it spent tens of thousands of years soaking up divine power. In practice, though, it _really_ doesn't feel much different from the sword's default.
      Purely gameplay-wise, though, it's hard for me to say 'cause I haven't really experienced many of them.

      @@zekeram129 Its stats are actually the exact same as in BOTW, with 40 durability and 30 attack. This can be augmented with fusion, though, so its peak strength is a lot higher. Ironically, its powered up form is actually weaker this time around to compensate for greater frequency of enemies it's strong against, only doing 60 to the final boss.

      @@sheridan5175 It also does 60 Damage any time you're in battle against Phantom Ganon, and has infinite durability against Phantom Ganon and the Final Boss. It's pretty hilarious going to a place where Phantom Ganon spawns in while the Master Sword only has 1 durability left, so every hit becomes a double damage Critical Hit. The sword auto-repairs for the final battle though, so you can't do that there.
      It doesn't power up at all against the Gloom Hands though, for some reason. Not even halfway boosted like against Gloom covered enemies. Probably a developer oversight that hasn't been fixed, just like how the Master Sword only gets the durability boost from fusing the very first time you fuse a material on it and never again for the entire game. I'd imagine both of those would be noticed and addressed if they do another Trial of the Sword type of DLC, since they'd have to tweak the Master Sword's properties in that case anyway.

      Well, up until later, when I peeked at the Forgotten Foundation ahead of time. And I started trying to deny that maybe, the Light Dragon wasn't just "the Hylia-themed dragon"...

    The sword that seals the darkness is destroyed by Ganon. Zelda earns her title as legend and gives up everything to bring it back to Link, bathing the master sword in sacred sunlight for ten thousand years. At first she resists, trying to protect it, but then realizes it must be Link whom has finally come for it. And she lets it go. The back story, the sacrifice, the music, the zoom out on dragon back above golden clouds... It's magnificent.

    I've been very conflicted about this, but... between Age of Calamity and Tears of the Kingdom, which one has the crazier scene?
    Age of Calamity is still established as the only Master Sword scene to take place mid-combat. The Master Sword itself literally rescues Link and Zelda from death, Link doesn't spare any second after pulling the sword, and the music that plays alongside it is legendary.
    Tears of the Kingdom is the only Master Sword scene to take place somewhere away from its resting place, and the only one to take place up in the sky (Skyward Sword had its scene on the Surface). For the first time, Link is actively struggling to take the Sword, where in previous iterations (especially Twilight Princess) it was a mere test of strength. Link hears Zelda's final words before transforming into the Light Dragon, and he sets off to take out Ganondorf once and for all.

    Wind Waker's is great too, with all of its fanfare.
    Really, it just comes down to the ones I don't like, that being OoT's (it gets played so many damn times I got desensitized to it) and HW's (painfully generic). Every other one is alright at worst; SS's Goddess Sword pull is goofy, but in a fun kinda way. LttP's is primitive, sure, but it's held back by its hardware so I can't blame it. I haven't even experienced AoC's so I can't rank it.

      It's the L3 Sword Upgrade that can only be unlocked in a "Linked Game" Optional and most likely Non-Canonical. There is actually FIVE WAYS You can get the "MAster Sword" in the Oracle games
      The Default sword that you would get in the scenes depicted isn't the MS, but the "Noble Sword."
      1.)Oracle of Seasons - The Noble Sword is in the Holodrum"s Lost Woods, different from Alttp's Hyrule Lostwoods
      2.)Oracle of Ages - You get an old broken sword from a Zora, you get it repaired and it becomes the Noble Sword
      In a Linked Game, you Can Upgrade your Lv 1 sword to the Noble Sword way early via "Secrets" so the Master sword take's it place in those respective scenes.
      After beating an "Unlinked version" of either Oracle games, there is a post game where you can use "secrets" and get Upgrades.
      3.0Oracle of Seasons Postgame - You tell an Old Man a secret and Do a Trial. You get the Master sword
      4.)Oracle of Ages Postgame- You tell the King of Zora(present) the secret and he will polished your Noble sword. It becomes the Master sword
      You then can use the secret in the Linked game to Upgrade your sword. You go inside the Maku Tree and tell Farore the Secret. You can choose to upgrade your LV sword to the Noble sword earlier as mentioned earlier OR
      5)Get the Noble sword in the Linked Game as Normal and then Upgrade the Noble sword to the Master Sword from Farore
      Overall "the master sword" in the Oracle games is just a stronger sword, nothing special. It isnt required in beating Ganon or give an advantage
