it was way too easy to sequence break the master sword quest.
after the last tear I saw dragon zelda and just hopped on her and grabbed the sword. and I read later online the deku tree is part of the quest. I still don't understand why would you go there instead of the dragon? lol I know the sword was there in BOTW but it was very clear in this game that zelda has it.
I did the deku tree later and got basically no reward so yeah great quest design
