Hat man es schon uebertrieben, wenn man ein Spiel so gut findet, dass man sich ein echtes Schwert schmieden laesst? Ich weiss es nicht, aber ich find's auf jeden Fall cool (^^ ) [...]

Master Sword Forged
March 6, 2004 at 16:10 PST
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...

When we read that Paul Hantschel, one of our forum users, owns a real-life replica of the famous Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda series, we couldn’t just leave well enough alone. So we contacted Paul and asked for some details on his little artifact.

Mr. Hantschel emailed blacksmith Rob Miller of Castle Keep, located in Scotland, with the initial concept and original artwork. Around a week later, Rob responded and requested detailed dimensions for every aspect of Link’s Master Sword. After a ten-month wait period and a £1,800 transaction (around $3,300), Rob began work on the sword of legends.

The blacksmith provided updates of his progress during the one-and-a-half-month forging process. With them he included photographs of the sword, which Paul has graciously shared with PGC:

That’s one great sword, if you ask us! Paul agrees. "Now I've just got to go to my local gravestone peddler and get a Pedestal of Time made up!"

doch damit nicht genug: wer sein Schwert auch schwingen will, ohne dafuer ins Gefaengnis gehen zu muessen, der sollte mal einen Blick auf diesen Wiimote-Aufsatz werfen - mit Hyrule Schild als Nunchuk-Ersatz!

Ausserdem haben sich einige Entwickler noch ihre Gedanken um die arme vernachlaessigte Welt der Racing-Gamer gemacht. Ganz zu schweigen von den nostalgisch beeinflussten Classic-Controller-Aufsaetzen.
