The Master Sword is decayed in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom because it was shattered and corrupted by Ganondorf's Gloom beneath Hyrule Castle when Link first confronted the Demon King, weakening it and draining Link's own power.

What is a panic Blood Moon botw?

A "Panic Blood Moon" in Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW) is a special, unscheduled Blood Moon triggered by the game running out of memory or assets, forcing a hard reset to prevent crashes, often occurring during the daytime or in unusual spots, unlike normal Blood Moons that reset the world at midnight every few hours. It's essentially the game hitting its memory limit from too many items, enemies, or physics calculations (like using Stasis/Opal bows on rocks), causing an immediate respawn of enemies and items, sometimes with lag, to clear the system's RAM.
