Upgrading the Master Sword beyond its standard form doesn’t just have to be about damage and cosmetics, however.
After all, if it’s truly Link’s final showdown with the ultimate evil - a fight Zelda herself isn’t sure she can win - why not make the sword as strong as it can be? Perhaps I’m getting my hopes up, but the stakes seem higher than ever before in Tears of the Kingdom, making it the perfect time to go all out. The sword upgrade was one of my favorite features in each of those games, and I was disappointed when it didn’t return in Breath of the Wild. Each upgrade strengthens the damage the weapons deal. Consistent between the two is the color of the blades, with red for the first upgrade, and gold for the second. In the former, the sword takes on the appearance of another arm entirely, while in the latter, just the blade changes color. Each game has two upgrades: the Tempered Sword and the Golden Sword in A Link to the Past, and the Master Sword Lv2 and Lv3 in A Link Between Worlds.
Assuming restoration is indeed the goal, the question lingers: Is that all? Twice has the player been able to upgrade the Master Sword, in A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds.
