| ==History==
| | The '''Master Cycle''' is one of four vehicles included in the [[The Legend of Zelda X Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content pack for ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. It is an inside drifting motorcycle based and named after the signature sword [[Link]] wields in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, the [[ZeldaWiki:Master Sword|Master Sword]], and is shaped after a horse. The sides of the motorcycle feature his signature shield, the [[ZeldaWiki:Hylian Shield|Hylian Shield]]. |
| ===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
| |
| The Master Cycle is included in [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content pack of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. Its biggest strengths are its speed and handling, while its known weakness is its traction. It is the fastest bike in the game and is tied with [[The Duke]] for having the highest weight and lowest acceleration of all bikes. The bike is unique in that no other vehicle part in the game shares its stats. A CPU-controlled [[Link]] will occasionally use this vehicle body, paired with the [[Triforce Tires]], and [[Hylian Kite]]. The Master Cycle shares its engine sound with the [[Bone Rattler]] which is a {{wp|straight-twin engine}}.

|
| In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the Master Cycle is part of the base game and is randomly unlocked by collecting [[coin]]s. A CPU ''The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword''-style Link can use this bike body. However, its stats are different, with its only advantage being a small ground speed boost, while its water speed, acceleration, anti-gravity handling, traction, and mini-turbo are hindered. The Master Cycle shares its stats with both the [[Sneeker]] and [[Gold Standard]]. This version also includes the [[Master Cycle Zero]], a counterpart to the Master Cycle used by [[zeldawiki:Champion's Tunic|Champion's Tunic]] Link.
| | The artwork design for Link riding the Master Cycle is drawn in the same style as artwork from ''[[ZeldaWiki:The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'', rather than 3D renders like the rest of the ''Mario Kart 8'' characters. As stated by [https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/522430647143763968/photo/1 Nintendo's Twitter account], the Master Cycle has "plenty of horsepower", a reference to Link traveling by [[ZeldaWiki:Epona|horse]] in his games. |

| |
|
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
| | A CPU-controlled [[Link]] will occasionally use this vehicle body, paired with the [[Triforce Tires]], and [[Hylian Kite]]. |
| The Master Cycle appears as a Legend-class Grab-type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}} with two support slots in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. When used, this [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] increases a fighter's speed in battle. The Master Cycle spirit can be obtained only by summoning it with [[City Tripper]], Mach Rider, and Excitebike spirits and an Attack-type core.
