| - The sword and shield were first unsheathed in "And then there was Nox Decious" and wasn't seen again until "Like Hyrule, but not" (it wasn't used for that long due to an accident on set). Link uses this sword to deliver the final blow to Steven Bauer in the episode "Blood Money." In his battle with the Darkness, the Master Sword briefly holds its ground against the Black Widow Blade. In Season Five, Professor Oak sends Mario, Brock, and Gary on a journey to Hyrule to find the Master Sword, which is the only weapon that can kill Ganon. After Link was sealed in the Dark Realm (according to Talon), the Master Sword resurfaced in the Lost Woods. Later on, Mario, Brock, and Gary locate the Sword, embedded in a tree stump, but none of them are able to remove it. Merlin then speaks to Mario and informs him that the Master Sword is still resonating with Link's spirit and decides to train him in wizardry to strengthen Mario's spirit in hopes that the Sword will forget Link's. Although Mario finishes his training, it isn't enough and as a result, Link, Merlin, and the Darkness merge their spirits with Mario so he can wield the sword. This works and Mario is able to kill Ganon with the sword, thus saving the day. It is unknown what happened to the sword afterwards, though it can be presumed that Mario returned it to the Lost Woods.
