How to Get an Unbreakable Master Sword in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK)

Are you wondering how to get an unbreakable Master Sword in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? Players have found many exploits in TOTK, but unfortunately, most have been patched out. Luckily, the method used below has been confirmed to work by our team and will still allow you to get an unbreakable Master Sword. In addition, we have found that any items created through an exploit will remain even after the game removes the steps to get it, making this a worthwhile endeavor.

Stand on the chest attached to the rock and pause the game. While standing there, drop your currently-equipped fused weapon and equip another unfused one. These next steps must happen quickly: close the inventory menu, open the inventory menu, and drop the equipped weapon. Then, reload the intro autosave where you saw the mural Beneath Hyrule Castle.

Go down and pick up the transferred weapon. This is the fused weapon you dropped earlier.

Pick up the fake Master Sword from where you fused the rock and chest. While this version of Master Sword is unbreakable, you cannot fuse items to it right now, which we will fix below.
