Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom | How To Get Master Sword?

The Master Sword has been a staple weapon in the Legend of Zelda series and is no different in the latest installment, Zelda Tears of The Kingdom.

However, in the opening events of the game, the sword gets damaged, and Link loses access to it. Many players are wondering how to get it back. Here are all three methods for restoring and getting the Master Sword in Zelda Tears of The Kingdom.

Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom – Master Sword!

Before checking out the methods, be aware that there are minor spoilers about some characters ahead. While these are minimal, they may still reveal some information about characters or quests in the game. So it’s recommended to play a bit before accessing these quests to avoid any spoilers.

Method 1: Directly Landing on the Dragon

This is probably the fastest method of getting the sword, although it will require some trial and error. The Light Dragon circles around Hyrule, so try tracking down its path. Once you find a place closest to it, use your Ultrahand device and make a vehicle to fly towards it and jump on the dragon. One of the places that you can use to get to the Dragon is the Water Temple.

Note that while this is the best method to get the sword, you will skip out on some of the game’s lore. You will still be able to do the below two quests, but interactions with the characters may change slightly.

Method 2: Restoring the Deku Tree

The second-best method, but slightly harder, is to restore the Deku Tree. Make sure you have good weapons before attempting this because there will be many tough fights. You should also get the Flamebreaker Armor before attempting this method.

Here’s how to restore the Deku Tree:

  1. Enter the Minshi Woods Chasm.
  2. From there, go northwest to the ruins.
  3. Ascend up and talk to the Deku Tree in Korok Forest.
  4. Next, go to Korok Grove and defeat the Phantom Ganon.

After that, the Deku Tree will give you the location of the Dragon, making finding the Master Sword easier. Now use the first method to get to the Dragon and pull the Sword out of its head.

Method 3: Collecting 12 Dragon Tear Memories

The easiest but the longest method for restoring and getting the Master Sword is to collect all 12 Dragon Memories.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Talk to Impa to get the mission “Impa and the Geoglyphs.”
  2. Find all 11 Dragon Tears.
  3. Find the Hidden Dragon Tear in the middle of the Rist Peninsula.
  4. Find the Dragon in the Akkala region.
  5. Get on its head and pull out the Master Sword.

To collect all the Dragon Tears, you’ll need to explore the game’s world thoroughly. Once you have all the Dragon Tears, you’ll need to find the Light Dragon in the Akkala region to get the Master Sword.

Conclusion

The Master Sword is a powerful weapon that you’ll definitely want to have in your arsenal. With these three methods, you can get it back in Zelda Tears of The Kingdom. Each method has its own challenges, so choose the one that suits your playstyle the most. Whether you decide to land directly on the Dragon, restore the Deku Tree, or collect all 12 Dragon Tears, you’ll have the Master Sword back in no time.
