Hey, listen Link, the Master Sword is special, okay? This mystical weapon isn't just some ordinary chunk of metal forged by a second rate blacksmith, it's a magical blade of destruction that makes Ganondorf cower in fear at the very sight of it. If this iteration of the Demon Thief had a tail, it would certainly be between his legs after witnessing Link brandish it in hand.

You just gotta grab those three special gems by befriending the locals first so you can get your hands on the Master Sword and voila, mission complete!

Except you're not even close to the end of your journey; this is just the beginning. No mere child can wield the awesome power of a weapon forged by the Gods - take a nap for seven years and then come back as an angsty, teenage version of yourself to unlock its true potential, yeah?
