I wonder can Glowforge manage to engrave the curve of the Master Sword.
How can I put the 3D file into Glowforge?

it could theoretically do 180 degrees of it as long as there are no overhangs. you’d need something like a depth map of the 3d model looking straight on, and you’d only be able to do it on a relatively small scale.
if you’re steady enough you might be able to heat warp flat acrylic.
there are a few other ways you might do curved surfaces but it’s a lot of conjecture and finish time.

If you mean engraving on a curved surface, that is to be implemented in future releases of the UI. Right now I believe we can only do flat.
Also is that small enough to fit inside the forge or the passthrough on a pro?
If I am correct, that is the Master Sword that came with the Collectors Edition of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Which means its the size of a letter opener, so yes it can fit easily.
It is also something I think is awesome.

So your saying I can’t halve a guy with it? No fun there…

Sure you can…either little elves or lots of whacks 
When you come across a body in the forest that’s split in half, you don’t stop to argue technique and criticize the number of strokes required

Fair enough
Want to insert south park clip of Cartman trying to kill Kyle with a Wiffle bat
So enough derailing…(my bad)
Anyone have a better answer then the above?
