Evolution of Master Sword in Zelda Games (1991-2024) 

Which Zelda game has the best Master Sword scenes?

Favorites are probably Skyward Sword and TotK! I love the progress of the goddess sword how it becomes the master sword, and getting it in TotK is definitely one of the coolest!!

Wind Waker is my favorite sword pull. I mean, these gigantic knight statues are actually tipping their swords at your accomplishment, how empowering is that? Plus, the sage concerts are a delight too

The way you get the Master Sword was tragic and pretty dramatic in TOTK and I absolutely love it!!

i will say pulling the master sword in totk definitely felt the most epic, but there is somberness to it that the other games don't have quite as much. like in most of the other games it feels like a huge accomplishment, a big heroic moment and a symbol that link has taken another step in getting stronger for his journey. in totk, you get that feeling kind of, but more prominently is the feeling of loss. this power cost link one of the most important people -- likely _the most_ important -- in the world to him. and when he pulls the sword there is no swinging or flourishing it, just quiet contemplation before sheathing it. it is just lovely. i really enjoy these videos where you get to see all the scenes back to back and catch different things like this!

As a knight pulling out a sword out of a dragon's forehead in the skies I see this as an absolute win.

I just realized. I thought it was kinda weird how when the Master Sword was restored, its blade looked newer at the part where it broke and was patchy but I think I get it now. They wanted to make the sword look like it got a brand new, regenerated blade, so any remaining metal on the sword's blade that never broke off WOULD look a little more dull. Its kinda like when the scab on your arm or leg finally falls off and leaves a faded spot on your arm to remember where the wound was, but the rest of your skin that was unharmed looks completely fine. I love how they made the sword actually LOOK like it had a small amount of age to it, but with the brand new blade, you actually have a clean, pure, new, unstained sword

Golden master sword should return, imagine it at full power in Totk and FUSED with an item

14:06 mi favorito sin dudas. Ningun juego después de Twilight Princess me a hecho sentir la misma epicidad y emoción que fue este momento

I like the OOT cause the way they also hide the sword with the camera and the door opening its crazy nice Twilight comes second...the way he pics it up and an aura leaves the ground and the best part its that its the same temple from OOT. my god these details

One of the most iconic swords of all time! 🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️

40:31 Damn, that bird chirping is so spatial I thought it came outta my room window

YES Thank you I was waiting for this upload ever since tears of the kingdom came out. Appreciate it BeardBear! ❤

The scene from Twilight Princess has always been my ultimate favourite. There is just something about the way the fog gets repelled when Link raises the sword. The way midna reacts. That music that just sounds so triumphant and intimidating. The whole scene sort of radiates this energy of "you just witnessed the power of the great godess, and she has accepted you as her chosen one". The fog rolling back and the sun coming out is like saying "this relic is so holy and important that even the very dirt makes way for it" I feel like the only real-world equivalent would be if someone found the holy grail or the arc of the covenant. That's the level the master sword is at. A holy relic. Proof of the godess and the prophecy's existence. Physical proof of Hyrule's religion. I'm not even a religious or spiritual person, but I think I can understand what being religious must feel like through how I experience Zelda.

Awesome Video!

Link to the Past is my favorite game and master sword cut scene.

My favourite is the Oot sowrd pull was so overwhelming

I cried with the Last one

Oot, I always love listening to the Song of Time.

Love your videos! Keep them coming! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wind Waker's moment is really cool! I wish they ported it to the switch cuz I wasn't going to waste my money on a wii U that had only one game I wanted to play. Skyward Sword the process to upgrade the sword to its final form was part of the story so the excitement diminished a lot since I was focused on that.

A Link to the Past Master Sword will always have a very special place in my heart since that was my first Zelda game and that moment was too epic, making me feel powerful, but I think Skyward Sword is my favourite moment from all games, TOTK was close to replace my favourite moment but no, SS is still the best for me, oh gosh, I love so much The Legend of Zelda saga ❤️

Excelente. Gracias por el video.

The Master Sword-The Blade barely used in Smash because projectile spam is how you play Link! That, or use bombs only when close to your opponent.

The legend of Zelda greatness

Awesomeness video when can you do sonic and the secret rings 100%? ❤️❤️👍❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nice

All was awesome

is aways a exciting ando powerful moment i love it so much

twilight princess, botw, and totk on top 💪

Cool!😊

Pulling the master sword out a dragon's head, that was awesome. Tears of the kingdom, definitely the best.

Visually, TP-SS-BotW-AoC-TotK have the best Master Sword design. It's so good looking. Musically, huge fan of TP integrating the Hero's Theme with the Ballad of Twilight. Mechanically, WW and AoC take the cake: Working hard to get a new sword upgrade, pulling it, and then immediately after, being able to straight up mogg on the enemies that used to give you trouble is the essence of a good power fantasy. Both games' surprisingly deep combo system helps.

Let me ask you this have you ever played Phantom Hourglass cause you haven't put any clips of it in your evolutions?

I love how you see forest animals running around or circling around the Master Sword like it is their beloved guardian of the forest

Fi still is in there 😅

Just watching Wind Waker Link draw out the Master Sword reminds of childhood. Come one nintendo re:re:release this game for the switch!

When you pull out the Master Sword in TOTK, you’ll notice that part of it looks to made of the same material as the Light Dragon’s horns. She’s technically by your side for the rest of the game. 😭

I really enjoy the Skyward sword Master Sword and it means a ton of business and no evil will ever live

I'm not leaving this life until I get the master sword in every game and I'm doing it, disarm me, good luck please.

Honestly, the fact that you can still see where the old blade ends and the restored portion of the blade begins in totk is a little irritating to me.

Legendary Link pull out the Master sword

Tears of the Kingdoms master sword pull is the best. And it’s the best portrayed when done in the final battle.

If I can ask! In a link to the past, can all bosses after getting the master sword can be defeated without upgrading the master sword itself? Or does it have to be upgraded for better safe then sorry?

I know we're talking about Zelda games, but Smash Bros Brawl deserves at least an honorable mention.😁

What Zelda games has the master sword next?

I can’t wait for the legend of Zelda to get a movie along with Metroid, Kid icarus, StarFox and Earthbound!

Do any of you like the Sword Pull from Twilight Princess?

I like how all the other Links Take it out slowly like they know there the hero, and Hyrule warriors Link takes it out with brute force

Correction: TOTK was made in 2023, not 2024

I never grow tired of Link getting the Master Sword, not to mention that I seriously like him in his Green Tunic better. I'm upset he didn't wear it in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Now I got this thought that his Green Tunic is being forgotten.

1 other minor cutscene that includes the Master Sword pull...Smash Bros Brawl 🗡

Always loved Ocarina of Time but Twilight Princess 😮‍💨🤌🏻

I seriously like Link in his Green Tunic better. I’m disappointed that he wasn’t wearing it in the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Do you all like Link in his Green Tunic too?

Well I already pull out of the master sword in Ocarina of Time

Twilight princess was always the best especially for me❤

What about the master sword in the 1st NES game? 🤔

46:04 How did the Master Sword glow like that? As far as I can tell, it just starts to shine and make the counterfeit versions of the Champions disappear completely without a trace.

Thumbnail threw me off lol. Went from 2001 to 1998 and then forward again

43:46 Is Fi really inside the Master Sword itself?

For me is ocarina of time, twilight princess, breath of the wild or tears of kingdom.

Wheres the original?

bro did you forget totk came out in 2023

Is that dragon Zelda?

where is the legend of zelda majora's mask & the legend of zelda majora's mask 3D😔🥀⚰️

🥰

Deku Tree: What is it you plan to do next princess Zelda: I- Add: T MOBILE 5G NETWORK IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD

Age of calamity did it better than breath of the wild

TOTK might just be the weakest version out of all the Swords.
