Zelda Master Sword Forged For Fan

Posted by simoniker on from the very-committed-or-should-be-committed? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Do you pretend you are the Hero of Time in your sleep? Are you the biggest Zelda fan on the block? Well, take a gander at what this Zelda fan owns... a real-life replica of the famous Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda series." The article mentions: "After a ten-month wait period and a £1,800 transaction (around $3,300)... [a Scottish] blacksmith provided updates of his progress during the one-and-a-half-month forging process."

    Time to cancel that credit card, NOW, Manny/Susan. Your link just allowed (with the help of a VERY stupid ecommerce website) people to gain access to your credit card info. :(

    Read the comments on the planetgamecube.com forums (the thread is linked to from the news story, which is linked to in the /. announcement.) The guy is a PGC regular: He says it weighs 18 pounds, and swings great. Also said that it sounds great when it slices through the air. :) Now, if only I could get one of those....

    i couldn't figure out from the pictures whether the guard was plastic that had been chromed or if that was a wax mold the smith used in the forging process.

    The ALT tag for the image identifies it as the wax mold.
