Master Sword:
[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]
-The Master Sword seen in ALttP was the first of many.
Found in the pedestal deep within the Lost Woods of Hyrule,
the Master Sword allowed Link to penetrate the evil that had
overtaken Hyrule Castle. It also allowed Link to shoot
a beam from his blade. It could be upgraded to the
Tempered Sword followed by the Golden Sword.
[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]
-It is possible to go through LA and never see this
upgrade. The Master Sword is obtained by collecting 20
of the Secret Seashells and returning them to the Seashell
Mansion. The sword allows Link to shoot a beam when he has full hearts.
[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]
-The Master Sword seen in OoT (seen in this game) was more like
a river of time. Once Link grabbed this mighty sword from the Pedestal
of Time within the Temple of Time, he was trapped in the Sacred Realm for
7 long years until he was old enough to become the Hero of Time, which was
his destiny. The Master Sword was the only thing that could
help Link defeat evil.
[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Oracle of Seasons]
-The Master Sword in OoA and OoS was merely an upgraded version of Link's
Noble Sword (and actually a secret only obtainable through playing both games).
The Master Sword was given to Link through password systems. Link can get it from
a man below the Clock Shop in Seasons(after learning a password from an Elderly
Woman in Labrynna) or from King Zora in Ages(after learning a password from a Zora
in Hero's Cave in Holodrum) or from Farore in the Maku Tree (through other passwords).
The sword allows you to damage Ganon with a slash rather than having to do Spin Attacks
and does more damage overall.
[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]
-The Master Sword in WW was gained upon entering Hyrule after prooving to the Gods that
you are worthy. Lying in a pedestal under Hyrule Castle, the Master Sword has been
dormant and locks away Ganon's true power. Upon grabbing the artifact, Link
unleashes Ganon's power and is still unable to defeat him. Upon saving the Sages of
Wind and Earth, Link is able to truly awaken the Master Sword and return it to
its "blade of evil's bane" status.
