A new way to do the "keep the master sword" glitch!
No other item but DF works for this glitch, I've tried them all. Basically I moved into the cutscene and immediately used DF which canceled Link's normal animations, preventing him from drawing his sword. Since Link's sword isn't drawn, Ganon can't knock it away.
How to do:
1. Stand just outside of the cutscene(literally like an step away from triggering it).
2. Move forward and IMMEDIATELY use Din's Fire.
No shield needed!
I'm certain that this would be faster than supersliding for a TAS run that gets Din's Fire(side-hop/backwalk into cutscene and use DF), not to mention Link's blank stare as Ganon transforms is just priceless.
