After building a Hylian Shield, it was time to add the Master Sword to my connection as well! I only used very basic tools and materials so you can easily follow my steps and create it as well! It's a really fun and exciting project and just perfect if you want to get into prop making! Just follow my steps and create your own Master Sword!

Hey, I think that's really cool that you left in the first approach of the wing guards that didn't work, and the comments on how you'd improve the build if you did it again. When you see people making things online, most of the mistakes are edited out and it seems like makers are flawless super-creators. But you showed us that you're an ordinary person, just like us; and if YOU can do the cool thing, then so can WE!

[@teddyboy5932]

Basic materials she said...

[@teddyboy5932]

@meleeBird well she says that we can do this at home, but I don't know how to get half of the materials if she's american she probably can find all of this in Walmart, but I dont have walmarts here supermarkets sell only groceries

[@polarbear1600]

@teddyboy I only have basic equipment too (dremmel and a heat gun is all I have) . I think the only equipment you really really need and should invest in is a dremmel. With a dremmel you can basically sculpt anything out of foam. Not sure where you live but you can try to source foam online and pipe, metal rod etc can be found in hardware stores or even everyday items. With less equipment it may mean you need to think outside the box a bit or take longer, but still doable. Good luck!

[@Adrianaisjawsome]

I LOVE that you made this with supplies everyone at home can use. Thank you!

[@landonhagan450]

To my knowledge, this is the best Master Sword replica ever created. Real metal replica's made by skilled craftsmen are always too skinny because the actual design would make it un-usably heavy, whereas foam replicas often have the proper overall shape, but lack true craftsmanship and look poorly made. This, however, is accurate, usable, and extremely high quality! If there's one thing I'd change, I'd change the color of the blade from the silver it has here to the white-gold it is in later games, but that's purely a matter of personal taste. Also, in addition to using a stronger core, another quality of life improvement would be changing the shape of the grip from circular to ovular or octagonal. A cylindrical grip makes it much easier for your grip to slip, causing you to lose track of the sword's orientation in the hand when you aren't looking, which can cause you to accidentally drop it or, if you're pantomiming a cut, accidentally slap your target with the flat instead of the edge. Ovular or octagonal grips lock the position in place and gives you an instinctual feel for the orientation of the sword in space (this is called edge alignment). This might seem unnecessary for a prop, but it actually makes it feel generally better and easier to handle.

[@AquaJew]

This is amazing. Link is one of my top dream cosplays, and thanks to you, I know how to make the sword and shield. I have yet to get into using foam, but I *have* created a few "Sh*tty" costumes over the years. My 2020 plan is, after building up better healthy habits, start making more "Sh*tty" costumes, until one day, maybe they're not so "Sh*tty" anymore. ("Sh*tty" because of how Svetlana talks about making her first costumes, and how to have confidence in starting out)

[@KamuiCosplay]

Haha you get the idea!

[@danielymatiaspet4875]

That is a nice motivation!

[@omikronweapon]

dude. I thought my first costume was só good. until I saw the first óther cosplayer on the floor. For the second one I put in more effort, and while it was still a long way off from the quality I wanted, a few people áctually wanted to take my picture. It's really a matter of making a crappy one first, and keep on improving until you say "you know.. it's honestly not crappy anymore".

[@query1527]

In the UK we have these markets called "car boot sales" where people sell their old junk from their cars. I always go to these and buy poopy old golf clubs because many have carbon fibre shafts. I often find some for £1-2 each.

[@zackfishle1009]

Nice work. Try taking an idea from foam core fiber glass boat building. You take a soft core(foam, wood, etc) with a ridgid shell laminated on both sides. So, make an EVA sandwich laminated to something ridgid and you could make something really sturdy. Ridgid might not be the best term, the exterior shell must resist tension. It can't stretch. Maybe make a 5+ layer sandwich with eva on the outside and core. We took a piece of weak foam and fiber glassed both sides. When I was done, I could jump on it. It did flex some, but it wasn't noodly. I'm 90 Kilo. The carbon rod sounds 90% easier. Glück und Erfolg im neuen Jahr! You are starting to inspire me. It is too bad I have enough projects to see me to summer.

[@billybailey5424]

So glad to see another video. You guys always make my day!

I wonder if a bamboo core would work. It's pretty stiff and lighter than a hardwood strip or thicker aluminum or steel rod. Neat build regardless!

I'm still very proud, especially with the wing thingies. Struggled a lot with them, but the worst was actually the part on the tip of the grip. Daran bin ich echt verzweifelt xD At last it was worth every second of suffering though, as my friend was reeeaaally happy, I've never had such a reaction to a present before! :D So I'm really grateful for all your tutorials and books, I never would've been able to do this without them
