How to upgrade Master Sword damage to 60

The raise the damage output to 60, you’ll need to finish the entire Trial of the Sword. However, you’ll get incremental upgrades between stages. When you finish the begginer trials, you’ll get 10 more damage. The same goes for the middle trials. This means you don’t have to aim for full completion right away – your sword will be upgraded even if you finish only the easiest part of the trial.

Yes. Once you’ve beaten the final trials, the sword will get a blue glow that doesn’t wear off. It will look just like in the picture above.
