Zelda Master Sword

The Master Sword, also known as the Blade of Evil’s Bane, the Legendary Sword, the Master Sword of Resurrection and the Sword that Seals the Darkness, is a recurring legendary sword in the Legend of Zelda series. Originally crafted by the goddess Hylia as the Goddess Sword, it was later forged into the Master Sword by the Goddess’s chosen hero and its spirit, Fi, who bathed it in the three Sacred Flames located across the land that would become the Kingdom of Hyrule.

The Sword is often seen to choose or accept its master by its own will, always a hero who has gone through great trials that test his courage, wisdom and power to prove him worthy of wielding it. This may be the conscious choice of the sword’s spirit, Fi, who sleeps eternally within the sword and only assists her heroic master.
