Finding the Master Sword has always been one of the more exciting parts of the Zelda franchise, with every entry hearkening back to older games while maintaining a unique style. Tears of the Kingdom pushes this concept even further, especially given how the Master Sword was little more than an Easter egg in Breath of the Wild. Even with all the changes Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have brought to the Zelda franchise, the Master Sword quest in Tears of the Kingdom proves the games haven’t forgotten their roots.
