NEW SUPER EASY GLITCH TO GET THE MASTER SWORD WITH 3 HEARTS (2021)

[Musikur]

Amazing! There are times when as a casual, you wonder, "How did someone figure this out!?", and then there are times like this, where you are like "How has it gone this long without any one finding this?!"

[mrpotch]

To those who cant get the glitch to work, put the campfire very near the sword and then position yourself where the sword is in between link and the campfire. Look straight to where both the sword and campire is; it should say "pull". Slowly look up until it changes to "sit". Sleep, wait, then start spamming A when the black loading screen fades out.

IMPORTANT! Just tried this and need to comment that you MUST have a weapon slot available or it will play the jingle for getting the sword, but Link will not pick the sword up. You can just perform the glitch again, so it's not too disastrous, but save yourself the trouble

After around 10 tries I got it! The comments helped out a lot. I don’t think the positioning of the wood matters, as long as you’re somewhat between the wood and the sword, then look up, where link is barely visible (you have to still be able to see him, my failed attempts I was just seeing the trees, so make sure he’s still somewhat visible)…then mash the A button right when the screen goes dark…boom, master sword. Thank you!

It's insane how these glitches are still being found :D

GENUINE ! placed the wood in the same location as this video, then lit the wood.. positioned Link to view both fire and Master Sword, looked up at the Tree, Link barely visible, sat till morning, and mashed the A button.. the "Pull" turned into "Take" in a split second and BAM! MASTER SWORD ACQUIRED ! Thanks to this video tip and everyone in the comments for clarifying.

imagine the deku tree like link what are you doi- WAIT WHAT HOW DID YOU GET THAT

[moritzbr]

I just did that with only 4 hearts, having just started my run and I now have the master sword. This is glorious!

[LukesWatching]

As soon as you said “all you need is a campfire, ” I fell out of my chair…

[shinysilverstardust]

I feel like the Deku Tree is just so shocked by Link setting his bretheren on fire, that he just gives Link the sword

[ghibligerbil]

*Pulls out the master sword*
Me: *Freaking out*
The game: You can't carry anymore melee weapons

WORKED OCTOBER 2021!!! You have to have your camera positioned looking at the trees before you hit A for sit/wait. The first time I tried, I hit sit before I positioned my camera properly and it didn't work. Second time worked like a charm. TYSM

I'm not a speedrunner but this looks like something fun to do just to make a new playthrough different, getting it so early.

unfortunately for people who want to skip the hearts requirement for the quest progression this glitch only gives link the master sword, not progresses the story so if you want the game to recognize that you have the master sword now for story reasons, you still need to pull the air where the master sword was.

Saw this video, booted up my save that was just past the Plateau, and within 15 minutes I had the master sword.

INSANELY easy 10/10 would disappoint the Deku Tree again

[nukeocelot]

Fun fact: you are still able to do the Master Sword challenge, you just have to die (preferably on the pedestal) and the mission will be activated, now you need to move slowly on the pedestal untill you see the option to return the Master Sword. CONGRATS! You can make the Master Sword Challenge with only 3 hearts

Tried this glitch and it totally works!! Incredibly easy. Thanks for the quick tutorial Lim!

[Gfreak]

The funniest part is, the entire setup for this glitch sounds like a playground rumor from Pokémon Red and Blue. Only it's actually legit.

[FinagleBagel]

Wait?! This means that a campfire delays Aventags for a second. I see potential for much more with this

[thelastsidewalk]

Thanks for this. I haven't yet played BotW but it was disappointing to hear you needed a certain amount of health to get the master sword (as I enjoy three-heart runs).
I'm very glad to see this.
