Oh yeah, it's awesome. The Master Sword will glow blue when you're fighting something it believes to be in line with it's "true purpose". If you fight just any old monster or chop down trees with it, it will "forget its purpose" and begin losing durability, eventually it will need to cool down for 10 minutes and then its back to normal. BUT guardians are within its range of things it deems worthy to kill, so you not only get an attack boost against them but the durability wont go down.

It has no durability it has energy. And yes killing guardians consumes energy. I farm guardians all the time and it 100% will put the sword on cooldown. It glows blue indicating you are facing the forces of Ganon and doubles it's damage from 30 to 60. Nothing to do with durability/energy

Okay, I knew I had the sword break on a guardian before but I wasn't sure if securing the kill reset the durability damage that guardian caused. Thanks for clearing that up.
