Dialog[edit]
Great Deku Tree: Who is that...? Did I doze off again? Hrm? Well, well... it's you. You finally decided to return. Better late than never. After 100 years, I'd nearly given up hope on seeing you again. Even my patience has limits, you know... That look on your face tells me that you have no recollection of me, however. I have watched over Hyrule since time immemorial. Many have referred to me over the ages as the Deku Tree. That is the weapon created by the ancient Goddess. The sword that seals the darkness - that only the chosen knight can wield against the Calamity Ganon. Believe it or not...it was actually you who wielded that sword 100 years ago. But I must warn you to take extreme caution. The sword stands as a test to anyone who would dare attempt to possess it. As you are now, I cannot say whether you are worthy or not... If you sought to free the sword in any sort of weakened state, you would surely lose your life where you stand. Best of luck, young one...
Great Deku Tree: If you hope to pull the sword from its resting place, you must use your true strength. Let us see whether or not you currently possess said power.
Great Deku Tree: What you just saw happened where you stand 100 years ago... After you were separated from the sword, the princess thought to bring it here, where she knew that it would be safe under my watch. She continues to fight, trapped deep within the confines of Hyrule Castle. Her heart cascades with faith that you will return. She has a smile like the sun... I would do much to feel its warmth upon me once again.
Great Deku Tree: That blade has a name... It is the Master Sword. When used against Calamity Ganon or those tainted by his Malice, it will become suffused with holy light... At such times, the true power of the sword will manifest... but be warned. Do not rely too much on its power. If you wield it without need, its power will exhausted and it will no longer be of use to you... Should this happen, you must wait for the sword to recover. It was your partner a century ago... use it with care... And wield it bravely for the ones who waits for you...
Mysterious Voice: Chosen one... The hero called Link... The time has come. You are now ready to test the limits of your courage. At the place where you reunited with the Master Sword, the sacred Korok Forest... Go there and heed the Great Deku Tree's words. Do so, and a glorious trial will be bestowed upon you.
Great Deku Tree: Hm? What's this? A voice beckoned you here? I see. So the time has come. I shall now tell you all I know about the arduous trial that awaits you. That sword you have reunited with... the Master Sword... it has yet to realize its true splendor.
Mysterious Voice: To the blade's chosen hero... In the name of the Goddess Hylia, I offer the trial of the Sword. You presently lack the power necessary to wield the true splendor of the Master Sword... You must fortify your mind, body and soul by eradicating all obstacles that appear in this realm. In this illusory realm of sacred mystery, anything can happen... All that you obtain here will be lost upon your return to the reality you know. Chosen hero of the Master Sword... Overcome the Trial of the Sword and claim the blade's true splendor! This trial shall test your courage to ensure you are worth of this splendor. It is called the Trial of the Sword. It will challenge you as you have never been challenged before. All of your weapons and armor will be sealed away. You must face your enemies without the tools you've come to rely on. Once you have tempered your soul and proven your wisdom and courage by completing the Trial of the Sword... the Master Sword shall truly be yours! ...Hm. Unless my eyes deceive me, you seem quite willing to take on this trial. A hero through and through! Now, Link... Place the Master Sword in its pedestal.
Great Deku Tree: Ah. You have finally returned. You look stronger than when last I saw you... The Master Sword you wield is now more powerful than before.
Great Deku Tree: If you desire still more power and wish to retry the blade's test... once again place the Master Sword in its pedestal.
Great Deku Tree: Ah, So you have finally returned. Your mind, body, and soul are now ready to wield the Master Sword at its full potential. You never fail to impress! Now you are truly with that sword of yours. I must say, its sacred glow suits you well. As ever, I shall watch over your journey from here... The Princess... I am certain Hyrule's princess is pleased with your accomplishment as well...
