The Story

This was inspired by the Master Sword the Link wields in the Legend of Zelda. The original sword design is very impractical, so I had to make a lot of changes to this sword to make it functional. The blade shape had to be narrowed to reduce the weight and I added a fuller to replace that flat part of the blade. I took some unnecessary elements off the hand guard and redesigned what remained. The pommel was on the small side, so I made it bigger and altered the design to help with balancing the sword. By making these changes I made a functional version that pays homage to the original.
