| Aug 24, 2022 at 15:27 | comment | added | zibadawa timmy | @Stef Didn't Skyward Sword specifically say that said sword (which later came to be known as the Master Sword) was a creation and gift from The Goddess? | |
| Aug 24, 2022 at 9:07 | comment | added | Stef | The Triforce comes from the gods and is very "ancient", and thus exists in all Zelda games. The Master Sword, on the other hand, is never stated to come from the gods. So it might have been created at some point, and might not have existed before that. It is by far the most efficient way to fight Ganon, so once it has been created, it becomes crucial. But before its creation, Link had to make due without it. | |

| Jun 6, 2022 at 9:01 | comment | added | Princess Ada | Your second point about the similarities between the Master Sword and Magical Sword - "Providing a magical based blade attack" isn't actually true. In the first game Link has the magic sword lasers at full health with any sword, even the initial wooden sword. | |
