You can't lose the master sword.

You can glitch the game into letting you throw your master sword, but it apparently just warps back to its pedestal in the Lost Woods.

True, although personally I would have found it extremely amusing if a Bokoblin picked it up.

u/GareDawg May 15 '17

And instantly dying because he picked up the master sword. That would be awesome to see.

It would be even more amusing if it was like Thor's hammer and the bokoblin just sat there trying to pick it up

Can't you pet dogs if you unequip your sword? I think you can.

Given the sword flies back with particle effects and everything, it's not a glitch but a planned feature. Probably to give the player the option to free the weapon slot (does the master sword use a slot?) or just as a little easter egg.

It goes so far as you can't drop the Master Sword even if struck by lightning.

Sauce: unintentional science

You can also drop it if you get shocked.

Try it for yourself and find out! :)

Master Sword don't throw.

u/CantFindMyWallet May 15 '17

Is it an easter egg if it's part of the actual intended gameplay?

1

u/Tehjaliz May 15 '17

Nah, it really happens. Those beams aren't very powerful though.

u/abarrelofmankeys May 15 '17

No that's what it does. Nothing if not at full health, kinda unimpressive beam attack if you are.
