What Happens If You Throw the Master Sword?
The Master Sword is one of the most iconic and powerful weapons in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. With its ability to repel evil and vanquish darkness, it is an essential tool for any Link. But, can it be thrown away?
The answer is no. In the game, the Master Sword cannot be thrown away or dropped, not even with the ability of electricity to make players lose their grip on the weapon. This is stated clearly in the game and various sources.
A Legend of Zelda Tradition
In the Legend of Zelda series, the Master Sword is a sacred weapon entrusted to Link, the main protagonist. Its significance can be seen in its handling. The Master Sword requires care and attention, signifying its importance. Additionally, the Master Sword, once obtained, cannot be removed from the inventory. Instead, it remains in your hands, a symbol of power and strength.
Other Options
In that case, what are some other options to handle or wield the Master Sword? Here are a few:
- Sword Beam: Engage the Sword Beam mechanism, which allows Link to throw the Master Sword, but not in its pure form. A beam of energy extending from the Master Sword causes damage to enemies while simultaneously draining energy from the sword, slowing it down. Please note that the beam, like the sword itself, can be slowly drained of energy, increasing its damage over time but diminishing its overall power.

- Reclaim the Master Sword: In some instances, Link may find the opportunity to reclaim the Master Sword. However, this process recalls the sword, requiring you to ride into Hyrule Field and search for it. Ensure to have enough in-game resources** for effective battles and exploration.

An interesting tidbit – there are two types of ancient arrows in the game, normal and imbued with divine power. When used in battles against the Dark Beast Ganon, one with divine power is used with the Master Sword while riding around Hyrule Field (in-game reference: this could be explored in our blog: [link of other article on divine powers or Hyrule Field ride].).
