Has the Master Sword Glitch been patched in BOTW?

No, major Master Sword glitches, especially the popular "Campfire" or "Early" Master Sword glitch, have not been patched in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BOTW) and still work as of late 2024/2025, allowing players to get the sword before the intended time, though some users report potential softlocks or altered quest progression if done incorrectly on a first playthrough. Nintendo hasn't released significant updates for BOTW in years, so most gameplay exploits remain functional, but it's wise to save often.

Can the Master Sword be broken in BOTW?

No, the Master Sword in Breath of the Wild doesn't permanently break; it runs out of energy and becomes unusable, but it recharges after about 10 minutes (or 10 game hours) and can be used infinitely, especially after completing the Trial of the Sword DLC, which increases its power and durability. When near Malice or Guardians, it glows and deals double damage (60 attack power), and this powered-up state also recharges but has much higher durability.

Is there an unbreakable sword in BOTW?

In Zelda: Breath of the Wild, no sword is truly unbreakable by default, but the Master Sword is special: it runs out of energy and recharges (10 mins) instead of shattering, and can become permanently powered-up and durable after completing the Master Trials DLC, effectively making it unbreakable during combat. Other "unbreakable" options involve glitches or using other unique items like the One-Hit Obliterator (temporary), but the Master Sword's recharge and DLC upgrade are the intended ways to have a near-permanent powerful sword.
