The Master Sword is a double-edged longsword with no fuller and a purple or blue hilt, although in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, the hilt is golden. However, no sages are shown having a role in the sword's creation during Skyward Sword. For many ages, the Master Sword lay hidden in its chamber, awaiting the time when the Hero spoken of in the prophecy would come to claim it.ĭuring The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Princess Zelda states that the Master Sword was crafted by the wisdom of the Ancient Sages. Only one worthy of the title of 'Hero' could pull the sword from the pedestal and unlock its true power. Ultimately, the sword and pedestal were both sealed inside a private chamber protected by a mighty stone barrier.

After its creation, the Master Sword was embedded into an enchanted pedestal, and the great Temple of Time was built around it. When this sword is bathed in three sacred flames, it was forged into the Master Sword.

According to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Hylia created the Goddess Sword so that her chosen hero could one day destroy Demise if he ever was resurrected.
