The Lost Woods are appropriately named because you'll more than likely get lost in them.
If you approach from the South of the forest, you'll enter the Lost Woods. The first step to finding the Master Sword in Zelda: Breath of the Wild is making it to the Great Hyrule Forest. Or you could just do what I did and accidentally run into it exploring Hyrule. The best way to find where the Master Sword lies is by completing the Main Quest 'Captured Memories,' which tells the story of Zelda and Link before the calamity. However, there aren't many clues given about its location. Throughout Zelda: Breath of the Wild people from Link's past allude to a sword he once carried that can 'seal the darkness.' Fans of the franchise will quickly understand that they're talking about 'The Blade of Evil's Bane,' the Master Sword. Finding the Master Sword is difficult enough.
