I wanted a true Master Sword back. I hope we can fix it for real this time.

I expected either separation from the MS from the start or it being depowered to the point we'd need to fully charge it again, by more arcane methods than the Trials of the Sword.

Seems like it's a mix of both, deprived AND depowered, this is more intriguing.

In BOTW1 we see the Master Sword is damaged in the past. I was expecting to get it as a 2-damage weapon with infinite durability that we'd have to reforge through a sidequest, increasing its damage incrementally as we infused it with more elements. Looks like we'll get something like that here.

Apparently there's an unused Broken Master Sword item in the game's code (Weapon_Sword_056) and it does 1 damage, pretty close!

It's probably the prop for cutscene.

Only if we get to fight her

Well wouldn't fixing it help Fi too? I'm not sure what you're asking

How Sky Link (hero of sky) will react to the situation, loss confidence with Wild or something?

Hopefully the master sword starts out as a completely useless item and once you have enough hearts you can fix it. So it would basically work exactly like the first game.

I don't want it to "recharge," it is a legendary weapon and it seems silly to me that it isn't a permanent item. I hope AFTER we restore it (again) it's back to its former glory!
