Can the Master Sword permanently break?

Unfortunately, the answer to that question is yes. If you use the Master Sword too much in Breath of the Wild, it will eventually break in a fight, and you won't be able to use it.

Does the Master Sword get destroyed?

Unlike the vast majority of other weapons, the Master Sword becomes depleted of energy instead of breaking. At this point, players are unable to use the Master Sword until they give it enough time to recharge.
