📋 About This Mod
Adds all but one stage of the Goddess Sword to Master Sword Evolution line from Skyward Sword to Baldur's Gate 3.
Currently only the Master Sword has a unique model, pending finding open permission models for the other stages.
I intend to adapt more Zelda items as my modding familiarity with BG3 improves.
Currently requires JWL Crafting Framework for the progression.
Each step uses the Iron Anvil, and has the Sword on the left, and the gem to upgrade it on the right.
The upgrade path is:
Goddess Sword + Farore's Emerald -> Goddess Longsword
Goddess Longsword + Nayru's Sapphire -> Goddess White Sword
Goddess White Sword + Din's Ruby -> Master Sword
Item Locations:
Goddess Sword - Dammon Act 1
Farore's Emerald - Volo's Rescue Reward (Same quest reward as the Blazer of Benevolence)
Nayru's Sapphire - Dammon Act 2
Din's Ruby - Reward for Saving Nightsong (Same quest reward as Moonlight Glaive)

Compatibility:
Minor interaction with Whispers of the Divine. The glowmap on the Master Sword will change color if the character holding it is an Aasimar from the mod, matching the glow on said race's fingertips.
Cheif-01 for the Master Sword model.
groggurt & bubwv on discord for their 5e Zelda homebrew items that served as inspiration.
Adds the Master Sword to Baldur's Gate 3, starting as the Goddess Sword and upgrading through progression. Only the Master Sword has a custom model currently, with other items possibly coming. A niche weapon mod for Zelda fans, with modest community traction (20 endorsements).
