You and the Master Sword in TotK: A Totally Rad Guide (According to Austin John Plays...and Maybe Me)
Let's face it, acquiring the Master Sword in Tears of the Kingdom is kind of a right of passage. You gotta have that iconic blade by your side to vanquish evil and, more importantly, look super cool while doing it. But how exactly do you snag this legendary weapon? Well, fret no more, adventurer extraordinaire, because I've got you covered (with the help of the awesome Austin John Plays, of course).

Gone Fishin'...For a Dragon?
Forget the Korok Forest of Breath of the Wild. This time around, things are a tad more...dynamic. The Master Sword is chilling on the back of a giant LIGHT DRAGON. Yep, you read that right. A majestic, sky-bound lizard is basically playing keep-away with your destiny.
Subheading: So, how do we find this majestic (and slightly inconveniently mobile) creature?
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
There are actually two ways to track down this luminous lizard, and Austin John Plays has the lowdown on both:
The Great Deku Tree's Got Your Back (Again): Seems the old sprout remembers you from your Breath of the Wild escapades. Help him out with a little problem (don't worry, it's not another talking poop blob) and he'll point you in the right direction. Expect cryptic riddles and vague pronouncements – it's all part of the charm!
Dragon Tears: A DIY Treasure Hunt: Scattered across Hyrule are these shimmering mcguffins called Dragon Tears. Collect all 12 and you'll not only unlock some sweet memories, but also get a handy dandy tracker that leads you straight to the light dragon. Bonus points for feeling like Indiana Jones.
Sword Time, Baby!
Once you've located the dragon (hopefully without getting roasted by its fiery breath), it's time to claim your prize. Here's where things get interesting:
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
Unlike Breath of the Wild, you won't need a certain number of hearts. This time, you need enough stamina. Two full wheels to be exact. So get ready to climb, paraglide, and dodge like a maniac to reach the top of that dragon.

And then...BAM! A glorious cutscene, some epic revelations (thanks, memories!), and the Master Sword is finally yours!
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
Important Note: The Master Sword seems to have gotten a bit of a makeover in TotK. It's adorned with fancy Zonai runes and can apparently fuse with other objects. Sweet!
