Acquiring the Master Sword in Tears of the Kingdom requires a bit more effort than obtaining the Hylian Shield. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

• The Master Sword resides atop the Light Dragon. This airborne entity circles Hyrule on a fixed route. Locate Skyview Towers for aerial access.
• Utilize a Skyview Tower to ascend into the sky, enabling your vantage point to spot the Light Dragon. It can be identified by its size and vibrant light.
• Maneuver to the Light Dragon. Direct your descent onto its massive form.
• Locate the Master Sword atop the Light Dragon’s head.
• Crucial Step: You must have a fully upgraded stamina wheel. Gather Light of Blessings from completing Shrines throughout Hyrule. Each Shrine offers Light of Blessing and exchange it with a Goddess Statue for increased stamina.
• Once your stamina wheel is fully upgraded, approach the Master Sword and hold down the ‘A’ button to claim it.

While this method provides the Master Sword, you can also obtain it through completing specific main quests. These quests will inevitably lead you to the sword. Alternatively, completing a series of objectives related to The Dragon’s Tears provides an alternative path to claim the sword earlier in the game.

Mastering these techniques will allow you to acquire the most powerful weapons in Tears of the Kingdom, enhancing your gaming experience.
