Master Sword Lv3
Template:Item The Master Sword Lv3 is a recurring item in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][note 1] It is the ultimate upgrade to the Master Sword and thus the strongest Sword in the games it appears in.[3] The Master Sword Lv3 goes unnamed in Ancient Stone Tablets.
Location and Uses
A Link to the Past
In order to obtain the Master Sword Lv3, Link must throw the Master Sword Lv2 into the Mysterious Pond of the Dark World within the Pyramid of Power in A Link to the Past. As a result, the Cursed Fairy will transform it into the Master Sword Lv3. It has a golden blade, green hilt, and is usually eight times stronger than the Fighter's Sword. In the Game Boy Advance version of the game, it also has the ability to break Pots and Skulls.
A Link Between Worlds
The Master Sword Lv3 is the Master Sword at its maximum strength in A Link Between Worlds.[4] It is obtained similarly to the Master Sword Lv2, requiring two pieces of Master Ore, but they must be taken to the Blacksmith at the Blacksmith's Forge in Lorule.
Other Appearances
Ancient Stone Tablets
In Ancient Stone Tablets, the Sword is known as the LV4 Sword. When the Hero of Light draws the Master Sword from the Lost Woods, they obtain it at this power level from the start, due to it being strengthened to this state by Link prior to the events of the game. When obtained, the rental Shops will no longer offer a higher level.
