Can you make the Master Sword recharge faster?
Like the champion powers, the Master Sword does not begin regenerating until it is completely used up. Keeping it in your pocket when it's weak does not help you get it back to full durability faster - you have to expend it to zero before the timer starts.
According to some studies and personal tests I've done - based on the fully powered up version it has nearly 200 durability and as such can make around 200 strikes before needing to recharge, which takes 10 game hours (10 real life minutes) to recharge back to a brand new, usable state.
you have to fully drain it before it will start to recharge. Once fully drained it will recharge in 10 minutes.
The reason the Master Sword deals only 30 damage and wears out so quickly when attacking “regular enemies” is because it had been broken and worn down a hundred years ago in the battles during the Great Calamity. It has lost its strength and is no longer able to perform at peak capacity.
After extended use, the Master Sword will run out of energy and will explode as if it were breaking. Instead of being gone, it sits in your inventory and is unusable until it recharges. So how long does it take for the Master Sword to recharge? Just 10 minutes of real time.
The Master Sword does not break, but it does run out of energy. It takes 10 minutes to recharge. The Master Sword has an attack power of 30 which jumps to 60 when Link is fighting Calamity enemies.
Does the Max Master Sword break? The Master Sword breaks, but it doesn't break like any other weapon in Breath of the Wild. Instead, its power drains. After several minutes, you can use it again.
The Master Sword is one of the most powerful weapons found in Zelda BOTW. Its durability is infinite as it never breaks.
Not worth mentioning on an answer, but when it's flashing red, that means that it has 3 hits left, so you can hit twice and then throw it to deal 2x damage.
If Link survives until the end, the Sword Sage will enhance the Master Sword with the power to stay fully charged -- dealing 60 damage -- at all times, instead of just in the presence of Calamity and corrupted Guardians.
How do you get the Master Sword to full power?
At the very end of each Trial of the Sword challenge, the Master Sword will be permanently powered up an extra 10 damage, reaching 60 damage after the third trial. After finishing the third trial you'll also get a new powerful beam attack and you won't ever have to wait for the Master Sword to recharge in the future.
After you've finished all three trials, you'll be rewarded with special Master Sword upgrades after each one. For the Beginner Trials, which end after round 12, you'll get Master Sword upgrades up to 40. For the Middle Trials, which end at round 16, you'll get Master Sword upgrades up to 50.

While the Hylian Shield has a vast amount of durability, unlike the Master Sword it's not invincible and can break. If that happens, it won't no longer appear inside the Hylian Castle Lockup, and instead must be purchased from a special vendor after the end of a long quest.
If Link is inside a dungeon, near Guardians or Malice, the blade of the sword will glow with a light blue aura. While in this state, the Master Sword will deal 60 damage and will only change back to 30 (with exception of the Trial of the Sword DLC) if moved away from malice.
The master sword really comes into a class of its own in the game's dungeons. When you're in areas permeated by Ganon's corruption, like dungeons, the sword takes on a blue glow. This means its attack power has increased significantly, making it perhaps the most powerful one-handed weapon in the game.
Thankfully, the Master Sword does not break in Breath of the Wild. Instead, its power will drain, and you will have to wait for it to recharge before using it again. For whatever reason, if you lose the Master Sword, the player will get the message: “The Master Sword has returned to the forest.”
The Master Sword is unique in that it's the only unbreakable weapon in the game. Its durability wanes with use, but after a few minutes recharging in your inventory, it's good to go again.
TIL: When the Master Sword shines with a bright blue light, it is unbreakable.
While in this state, it has greatly increased durability and can be used for a great amount of time, as long as it hitting the above enemies. Hitting rocks etc while the blade is glowing blue will still lose durability at a normal rate.

What is the best shield in Zelda?
The Hylian Shield is, without a doubt, the strongest shield in BOTW because of its high stats. It has a damage protection of 80, and it has 800 base durability. Its durability alone makes it a top contender for the best shield, and it's tough to compete with.
You can upgrade the Master Sword's base damage to 40, 50, or 60 by completing the Trial of the Sword as part of The Master Trials DLC, which we'll outline below. If you upgrade it to damage 60, the weapon becomes unbreakable, but you'll still need to recharge it after a while.
Of all the weapons in Breath of the Wild, the Master Sword is by far the best. This weapon is a special one because it doesn't actually break, it just needs to be recharged after being used for a while. But this powerful weapon and its special properties don't come without some sacrifices.
The final two Zelda swords with the potential to outdo the Master Sword both appear in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. These are the Fierce Deity Sword and the Great Fairy Sword.
Once you've gotten it, the Master Sword is also extremely effective against Guardians. With the exception of the Scouts found in shrines, being near Guardians turns the Master Sword into its glowing, massively empowered form, allowing you to dismantle ground-bound Guardians with ease.
The Corrupt Master Sword is the corrupted version of the Master Sword. It can be upgraded to the Deep Corrupt Master Sword. If desired, either variant can be purified back into the standard Master Sword.
With an attack rating of 44 and a durability level of 120, the Ancient Bow is quite possibly one of the toughest items in the entirety of Breath of the Wild, able to be a reliable weapon for Link that won't break anytime soon.
I thought it was a bit challenging in the standard game. It is a cakewalk compared to Master Mode. The jump in difficulty isn't just overwhelming.
Interact with the campfire and wait until morning, then mash the interact button (A) to grab the Master Sword as the campfire action concludes. Link will take the sword without having to drain his health and complete the trial.
No, but it has severely enhanced durability. Well, technically the Master Sword has infinite durability, because when it “breaks” it just has to recharge for ten minutes and then it is as good as new. What I mean by the Master Sword's “durability” is the amount of hits it takes before it has to recharge.

Fighting and needing health isn't mandatory. But you need to explore and that's where stamina helps. Since you can cook meals/elixirs to max out both your health and stamina, it would make sense to cut one of those out of the equation to save time. And if I had to choose which to cut, it would be cooking for stamina.
No, only the red hearts count. From the Prima guide: To get the Master Sword you need a total of 13 hearts. Any additional hearts you get from food or other abilities do not count toward the 13-heart total.
According to Zelda, Link never speaks because he thinks it is “necessary to stay strong and to silently bear any burden.” If we take the diary at face value, not only does this entry explain that Breath of the Wild's Link is the strong, silent type because he doesn't want anyone to worry about him, but it confirms that ...
Be aware that he only sells one at a time, and it costs 3,000 Rupees to buy a new one!

The most famous Hylians are the many heroes and princesses that share the same name as one another, the latter being of blood relation and naming tradition. Hylians have the same life expectancy as regular humans.
