It's a couple seconds after the time I gave you, because I was giving the whole description of the sword. The actual quote is at 1:28 where Zelda says, "It is a sacred blade that evil can never touch."
Personally I don't think Kratos is all that evil. He's just anger incarnite. He saved greece from the persian invasion and gave up his daughter to save the world from getting destroyed. Moraility wise he's not randomly evil for the sake of it, unlike ganondorf, he just lives in a much harsher world. Wouldn't the MasterSword choose him to take out Ganondorf?
Which leads to a conflict of morality. Anger is a cardinal sin, after all. You could say that Zelda isn't as "harsh" a world as God of War (though not an accurate description), so it tends to judge good and evil as more black and white, with little gray. Twilight Princess was changing that a bit, with Midna falling more under the gray end yet still being affected. And technically, Ganondorf's original goal was to secure Hyrule so that his people wouldn't have to suffer and die in the desert. He had entirely good intentions before his desire to rule Hyrule (and the Triforce) consumed him.
If Kratos grew up in Hyrule he might be able to weild it, but he wouldn't be the brutal sociopath we all know.
If not does he have to fight barehanded the whole game?!? I remember he got 2 hookshots in TP. Could Kratos possibly attach knives to the tips and use them like the BoC?
He could use the normal non-Master Sword, Ball & Chain, Bow & Arrows, Bombs, Boomerang, etc. and probaly rely on Zelda's Light Aeeows to fight Ganondorf. Or the Clawshots I guess.
