Yeah not much to say, just a CRT to update the Master Sword.
Here's my updated version of the holy knife, current profile for comparisons sake, it's mostly the P&A section that was revised but I made some alterations to other stuff, most notably the needed prerequisites to use it and a few extra notes. Down below is a quick run down of all the changes:
All previous abilities, plus Holy Manipulation (Imbued with light that's effective against demons[1] and was further blessed with holy power by Hylia[6], evil beings are unable to touch the sword[7], it's holy power is also enough to instantly destroy creatures created by Calamity Ganons malice[8]), Light Manipulation (It can project light[9]), Power Nullification & Purification (Can shatter magical barriers[10], and it could dispel the evil magic Zant had cast onto Link[9]), Soul Manipulation & Sealing (When the Hero of Time first drew the Master Sword his spirit was sealed within the Sacred Realm until he was old enough to wield it[7], which is confirmed to be the Master Swords doing[11], sealed away Demises residual consciousness[12]), Life-Force & Electricity Absorption (The Master Sword drains the life from those who attempt to wield it, only allowing itself to be used if the person trying to use it is powerful enough, it also ignores superficial enhancements and only tests the natural strength of the user[13], and it can absorb electricity[12]), slightly enhanced Energy Projection (Allows the wielder to shoot energy beams without the need for charging the energy first, but only if the user is in peak condition[14]), Petrification (Turned Ganon to stone[15]), Attack Reflection (It's been stated[14] and shown that it can deflect magical attacks[16]), Limited Time Stop & Time Travel (Was used by the Golden Goddesses as a lock to keep Ganon's army frozen in time[17], and can allow Link to travel back in time[18], however the Master Sword can only perform such abilities while placed within its pedestal), and Regeneration Negation (Up to a Low-Godly level, without the Triforce of Power Ganondorf was unable to regenerate after being stabbed through the chest by the Master Sword and died shortly after[19])
Needed Prerequisite for Use: The wielder must be 12 years old or older to wield it (The Hero of Time was sealed away for 7 years by the Master as his initial age of 9 years made him too young to wield it, however the 12 year old Hero of Winds had no such issue), they must also possess the strength needed to wield it otherwise the sword will drain their life energy until they die (A weakened Hero of the Wild could not pull the sword from the pedestal as it would have killed him, it was only after becoming more powerful that he was able to safely wield it)
Note 3: Ganondorf stating that the Master Sword acted as a seal on his power is a mistranslation, it only acted as a seal to keep his army of demons frozen in time
Also I removed the Master Sword image from the image tabber since it's literally just the True Master Sword.
Here's my updated version of the holy knife, current profile for comparisons sake, it's mostly the P&A section that was revised but I made some alterations to other stuff, most notably the needed prerequisites to use it and a few extra notes. Down below is a quick run down of all the changes:
- Split it's P&A section into two tabs and added scans, references, and added/removed several powers. I changed Power Absorption to Life-Force Absorption as it's more accurate, added in it's ability to absorb the sacred flames and lightning, added limited time stop and changed time travel to also make it limited, removed the ability to fire destructive air slashes as I couldn't find anything like that, and removed it's resistance to Curse Manipulation and Darkness Manipulation as it's only negated curses and nothing about the twilight realm would affect Link anyway (Only the patches of darkness Zant makes affects Link, and the sword doesn't prevent that).
All previous abilities, plus Holy Manipulation (Imbued with light that's effective against demons[1] and was further blessed with holy power by Hylia[6], evil beings are unable to touch the sword[7], it's holy power is also enough to instantly destroy creatures created by Calamity Ganons malice[8]), Light Manipulation (It can project light[9]), Power Nullification & Purification (Can shatter magical barriers[10], and it could dispel the evil magic Zant had cast onto Link[9]), Soul Manipulation & Sealing (When the Hero of Time first drew the Master Sword his spirit was sealed within the Sacred Realm until he was old enough to wield it[7], which is confirmed to be the Master Swords doing[11], sealed away Demises residual consciousness[12]), Life-Force & Electricity Absorption (The Master Sword drains the life from those who attempt to wield it, only allowing itself to be used if the person trying to use it is powerful enough, it also ignores superficial enhancements and only tests the natural strength of the user[13], and it can absorb electricity[12]), slightly enhanced Energy Projection (Allows the wielder to shoot energy beams without the need for charging the energy first, but only if the user is in peak condition[14]), Petrification (Turned Ganon to stone[15]), Attack Reflection (It's been stated[14] and shown that it can deflect magical attacks[16]), Limited Time Stop & Time Travel (Was used by the Golden Goddesses as a lock to keep Ganon's army frozen in time[17], and can allow Link to travel back in time[18], however the Master Sword can only perform such abilities while placed within its pedestal), and Regeneration Negation (Up to a Low-Godly level, without the Triforce of Power Ganondorf was unable to regenerate after being stabbed through the chest by the Master Sword and died shortly after[19])
- Changed the materials and elements and the needed prerequisites for it's use. Couldn't find anything that calls the sacred flames representing the three primal forces of the Zelda universe (Or anything that suggests power, wisdom, and courage are the three primal forces in the first place) so I just changed it to the flames represeting the golden goddesses. Got rid of the part that says only Link and Zelda can actually wield the sword, with the exception of Skyward Sword the games just say only worthy heroes can use it not very specifically Link and Zelda, also removed needed to go through trials of courage wisdom and power since as BOTW shows us you mostly just need to be buff and pure of heart to use it, trial stuff is mostly in universe reasons for Link to even reach the sword in the first place. Added actual prerequisites that are shown like how you need to be old enough and strong enough to use it, otherwise it'll seal you or just kill you.
Needed Prerequisite for Use: The wielder must be 12 years old or older to wield it (The Hero of Time was sealed away for 7 years by the Master as his initial age of 9 years made him too young to wield it, however the 12 year old Hero of Winds had no such issue), they must also possess the strength needed to wield it otherwise the sword will drain their life energy until they die (A weakened Hero of the Wild could not pull the sword from the pedestal as it would have killed him, it was only after becoming more powerful that he was able to safely wield it)
- And finally I added two extra notes, one detailing why every Link that has used the Master Sword shouldn't just get the ability to use all it's powers, and another one that brings up a statement from Wind Waker that says the sword can weaken Ganons magic and how it's a mistranslation as the original japanese text only says it seals Ganons legion of demons.
Note 3: Ganondorf stating that the Master Sword acted as a seal on his power is a mistranslation, it only acted as a seal to keep his army of demons frozen in time
Also I removed the Master Sword image from the image tabber since it's literally just the True Master Sword.
