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.
