      Doesn't Zelda (who is the mortal incarnate of the goddess) technically complete the ritual and turn the Goddess Sword (made by the Goddess herself) into the true Master Sword? The Goddess Sword was made by Hylia, Link aids in its creation into the Master Sword, and Zelda completes the ritual by 'awakening' it (when Link first creates the Master Sword, it's dark and not as powerful)

      The Master Sword has broken spells in the past while in it's pedestal, but it has never stopped enemies the way that it did in Age of Calamity.
      Since it acted in that manner in response to Link reaching for Zelda in its immediate presence, it made sense that Link wouldn't require the same test that he did in Botw, as Hylia(Zelda) herself considered Link worthy of the Master Sword, and also happened to be in its immediate presence.

      I really miss the simplicity of ALttP in newer titles. ALttP has everything that makes Zelda great, without any of that nonsense, that was added over time, like absolutely silly characters or sidekicks that explain the obvious all the time.
      In general newer entries explain to much. I like the show, don't tell aspect if ALttP.
      And I also like the somewhat more serious tone it has compared to a Wind Waker or Minish Cap for example.
      But most of that is probably nostalgia, if I would play ALttP for the first time today, it would be a cool game, but not the same experience it was, when I spend years of my childhood playing this game.

      @@ricekrispies1917 Yeah ALttP pretty much sets the framework for most of the future games in the series. There's so many firsts in it. First incidence of Kakariko village, lost woods, master sword, ocarina, the sages, medallions, empty bottles, cuccos, various pieces of music and jingles that continue to recur throughout the series, etc. There's probably so much more I'm forgetting too. The basics were set in the NES Zelda games but the majority of what we know of today as Zelda originates from ALttP.

      @Mr7Reality Oh, it actually doesn't have to do the 25th anniversary, more like cherished memories. Well, November 21st is my birthday and when SS was released, it was a Sunday. Where I was at. everything was close, so it technically released on my bday. I didn't own a Wii, but I went to the bus to go to GameStop early to get the Special edition with gold wiimote. The bus had upped their fare and I didn't have enough, but some random guy who didn't know it was my birthday spotted me 25 cents so I could ride the bus. Amazing. I got to Gamestop, and apparently, the Special Editions required a pre-order; except they had spares which had not been claimed. I was able to buy a Special Edition on my bday like I wanted.
      But it doesn't end there. Dec 3rd, we had my birthday party. My friends let me try out Skyward Sword, and I loved it. Then, my older brother took me home, back then he lived a long ways from me and the drive was 20 minutes. I had friends at my party who lived in the neighboring city I lived in, but it was my brother who took me home. We got there, my brother asked if he could come inside. There, on my gaming chair was this huge Best Buy bag. My brother joked: "thieves don't usually leave things." I looked inside the bag.
      A brand new black Wii and Wii Component cables. I was so happy. My brother hugged me and said, "Happy birthday." :')
      That's why I will never sell my Wii nor my original copy of Skyward Sword.

    Link fully powering the Master Sword in BoTW is the best one for me. It’s not technically a sword pull, but it carries the weight of one. It’s a little more somber and downplayed rather than being this epic moment. It’s nighttime and you can hear the breeze and the sounds of the woods, Link closes his eyes and you can tell he feels not only the power of the sword, but Fi as well. Then it plays her leitmotif and she talks to him, even for that brief second. Makes me so emotional every time I watch it. The absolute best Master Sword moment out of all Zelda games.

    Honestly Skyward Sword had the BEST Master Sword Obtained moment, because you not only earned it, but FORGED IT YOURSELF. You proved that you are the one with the three goddesses blessing, you proved that you are able to wield the ENTIRE Triforce and not just the Triforce of courage, and you had Hylia HERSELF bless the sword in front of you, all while saying you are worthy. That to me, is the hypest of all moments.
    Twilight princess, imo, wasn't all that great. It's okay if you liked it, but me personally, it wasn't AS impactful. Sure we got to see that the stories are true and it purges the evil from you, but no other Link can say they MADE the Mastersword. (fixing it doesn't count)

The point of BOTW’s weapon system is that you find a weapon - it breaks - you get a new one, because player needs to defeat enemies using various weapons or not using weapons at all if you want to be creative or you don’t like the weapons. The game doesn’t let you get OP with the damage of Savage Lynel weapons with extra damage bonus, only with stamina and hearts.

      There’s a theory that the pendants in ALttP were made from the spiritual stones in Ocarina of Time. The Hyrule Historia book also says that the Master Sword pedestal in ALttP is actually all that remains of the Temple of Time from Ocarina of Time. So in reality, it’s possible that ALttP Link is actually reenacting the same ritual to pull the Master Sword as the Link from Ocarina of Time.
      The same goes for TWW where Link uses three pearls (which look very similar to the three pendants, minus the necklace part) to summon the Tower of the Gods, which is the gateway to Hyrule Castle - where the Master Sword is.

    Link pulling out the Master Sword in Twilight Princess looked best to me. The wind whirling around him and even Midna being near speechless really added to the epic feel.

    My favorite sword pull is a tie between Link to the Pasts and Ocarina of Times, Ocarina of Times is so iconic, and I’d be willing to argue is probably the most recognizable cutscene in gaming, but the compressed powerful sound of the pull in Link to the Pasts, followed by the harsh sound of wind blowing is so damn powerful

    The _Master Sword._
    Also known as The Sword Of Evils Bane, it is a sacred blade that evil can never touch.
    Only the chosen hero of Hyrule may wield its sacred power.

    Damn, now that I look back at twilight princess. The animations are much worse in the master sword cutscene than I remember. If you look closely, when link is pulling up the sword, they forgot to make two models. Which means the sword in the pedestal was anchored onto his rig. Which is why you can see shaking in the sword(It is connected to his wrist, so any wrist movement affects the sword). Also, when he does the main pulling animation, his right arm is just floating Infront of the sword.
    (Edit: Oh, and also I just noticed. In the main pulling animation, the master sword isn't even in the pedestal. You have to look very closely though.)
    I like how they perfected the pulling in Breath of the Wild, it's damn near seamless. No Shakey swords, no floating hands.
