Master Sword "Replicas"
Вставка

- As a Zelda fan, I’ve wanted a replica of the iconic Master Sword for some time. Over the years, I did occasionally look up replicas, but never thoroughly searched to find a definitive one. However, that’s what I’ll be doing in this video: Looking at every affordable Master Sword replica I can find online and figuring out if any are worthy of being displayed in my bedroom.

Bro wasn't the chosen one, so he just took the sword with the stone attached 💀
no, he just attached it for more power, just like in TotK.
bruh pulled it like he Jack Horner in Puss in Boots 2 💀

take a shot every time he says hilt
Alcohol poisoning speed run
Yeah, I really wish I had brushed up on my sword anatomy before recording this, lol. Though, you’d still be comatose if you were to take a shot every time I said “guard” in that case. If it means anything, I just assumed “hilt” was another way of referring to the guard since you could call the handle a handle or grip, and sheath a sheath or scabbard. It seemed like every element of a sword had at least 1 other synonym from those two instances alone, so I just thought when people mentioned the hilt, they were referring to solely the guard.
I did realize the error by the end of my recording session (I didn’t feel like recording over every single time I improperly used "hilt", lol), so I do refer to the guard properly at 19:23. That’s one less shot you guys would have taken.
Rip
I kant even tok rait now.
Are you looking to get winehoused?
I've been in Master Sword replica hell for the past few months just like you and I'm so glad someone else shares my experience.
I am back a month later. I was thinking about this video lol. I managed to nab a preorder for the Proplica master sword... My god, the images of it are beautiful. Accurate scabbard, accurate handle, accurate everything, AND SOUNDS. God I'm so excited. Hopefully they release more though because I fought tooth and nail to be able to get an order in! Godspeed.
@@Wisplore I'll get a metal replica of the master sword that a dude from my country sells for $111, it's made from a mold of the foam sword at 7:04
5:02 I have this replica and can confirm part of the guard broke off when it fell from my umbrella holder
I have one too, it broke as well!😢
I got 2 and it happened to both haha
Same thing happened to mine, the guard straight up broke in half down the middle.

Lol no he didn't
Wow, how did I end up in this virgin convention. Ill see myself out.
a 3d printed master sword is the best way to get the accuracy you’re so picky for, i 3d printed one and with enough effort it looks perfect and i reinforced the inside with metal rods for structural integrity. 3d printing props isn’t nearly as easy as you think it is and they’re much better than you’d expect
Hearing him say 3d printing is "lazy" hurt my soul
You wouldn't know genuine effort if it snapped it's pink bra in your face.
The amount of time put into modeling, printing, sanding, priming, and painting a prop the size of a damn sword is probably more than anyone would be willing to put into something that would be sold.
For as nitpicky a person you seem like, I would've expected you to understand the level of detail poured into it.
Bruh most 3d print users just get a model off the internet take off the support and boom they got a sword and they did it with the right color they don't even have to sand or paint it
@@Samy-e5i They still have to sand it. shit looks weird with all the printer lines
@@buhgingo2933.02 nozzle or resin printer go brrr
Fr I’m making a master sword rn and when he said that comment it just stung. It’s taken me 2 months to make and apparently bc u can get files online it’s “lazy” and “cheap”. I wish people respected the hard work that people put in into creating.
@@Samy-e5i dude, you cant just print something the size of a sword in one go that would be a massive printer your gonna have to print in parts so attaching those securely and seamlessly would be awful then you have to sand that bumpy ass shit completely smooth to get it to not look like a rubber chicken, and that's hard for a small thing, so something as large as a sword would be extremely tedious , now you have paint it, painting it, well your painting a whole sword with meticulous detail because if you fuck it up to much you gotta sand it back down because of the paint building up, and that's after you've spent all this time getting it ready to print with knowledge that if you mess up to much or break it you have to do all this again and it could take who knows how long for you to get a print ready again, because yes if a slight little thing messes up while its printing it could mess up the whole print, so with the fact that this is multiple large prints it would be unlikely everything goes perfectly on the first go, so until i see you go through all this effort to make a perfect master sword don't call it lazy.
Bro knows nothing about 3d printing. It is not a press button make product process. There is tons of work that goes into 3d modeling software to make a quality model. Even with the most expensive machines there is so much fine tuning and settings optimizations required to get a decent result. Getting the perfect settings for your machine can take months or even years. And even then there is hours upon hours of post processing, filling, sanding, painting, assembling, and even sometimes mold making. To call 3d printing lazy is just stubborn ignorance and dismissive of an artform you clearly dont understand.
Sure, theres plenty of 3d printed garbage and crap looking products because the barrier of entry has gotten so affordable but most people dont put in the work to master this craft. But that is true with every artform.
Finally someone pointed out the master sword "replica" scam
Sadly we non rich adults have no other choice!
I have the light blue one i of course knew it was fake but i really wanted a foam one!
bro didnt play a zelda game until 2014 and says "fake gamer girls" lol
Calling 3D printed prop sellers "lazy" and how "the machine spits it out" shows how little you know about it. There is an entire community around 3d printing props, and as someone who does the hobby myself and has 3d printed a 100% accurate master sword from botw, the process is painstakingly tedious and labor-intensive. Not only do you have to have your printer settings tuned damn-near perfectly to get it to print right, the amount of sanding, priming, filling, and painting that takes place afterwards is insane, that is only if you have the dedication to make the prop look smooth and not printed, which is what I do. Think whatever you wanna think, but 3D printers do way more than just spit out models. They aren't magic machines.
lol
I agree completely with this. plus getting the models can be a headache
@@owenbyrne9850 Yes, ESPECIALLY if you model them yourself. That's a whole other beast.
Ok yah I agree and disagree at the same time on the premise that he wasn’t just looking for a 3d printed version he was looking for anything acrurate
I suppose if you compare it to actually forging a replica, 3D printing it is prettu much still is a small feat.
Lot of weird women hating in a video about master swords…
the dramatic sigh + misogynist joke + sonic png was so embarrassing. I had to pause for a minute to laugh. that shit came out of nowhere.
The full tang master sword is how the master sword would look and function as an irl blade made for actual combat. Yeah its not accurate to the games but it's accurate to real life function which I think is pretty neat
I think it look pretty close the the link to the past master sword
The in-game 64 version is different from the promotional art. It still wouldn't be accurate irl :P
that last sword having a dulled out tip might be due to the bladed weapon safety regulations of wherever they are?
Makes enough sense
Yeah that was the most obvious conclusion I came up with instantly not sure why that was a dig against it. Its literally a weapon
Yeah they need to move if that’s the case. Imagine you can’t own a sword with a point, because the government says so.
@kainepercle4549 it'd more like "due laws against owning bladed weapons, you need to have a licence to own a sword" or a general "you are now allowed to own bladed weapons" and due to having a dulled tip it doesn't count as a sword.
@@kainepercle4549 It's not a regulation for the buyer, it's for the seller. These regulations exist even in the US. You can buy the sword and sharpen it, no problem. But the seller would need to have special licenses, good lawyers, long contracts and ID verification at checkout, etc. Just like with firearms, nothing is stopping you from owning one (for the most part) - but there are laws in place limiting who can sell them.
16:35 My guy, it was the third game in the damn series! They weren't thinking that far ahead!
Lol, yeah, and at 17:19 I basically say that by acknowledging ALttP was when the Master Sword debuted. Maybe if you had waited 44 seconds before commenting, you wouldn’t have had to point out something already addressed, my guy.
@@niftydrifter i mean i don't feel loke its a bad thing tho, they thought about something so they said it when they thought it, i can get getting frustrated about it but you shouldn't get hostile about it
@@frenchtheguy "Hostile?"
@@DamageJackyl idk the first guy didn't sound that serious about it to me but i don't really know its just that his response felt like it was more serious than it needed to be im not trying to start an argument it jut made me feel off
Bro threw in some of his incel jokes
I can almost guarantee the "Best" one at the end is partially 3d printed. You can see what appears to be layer lines on the crescent part. It was most likely cast in metal afterwards. I may be wrong.
No way this dude having a fit about a sword from a video game is calling 3D printing lazy.
Bandai is making one for their Proplica line, so good news!
From the pictures it does look exactly like the one in BotW but the proplica line uses PVC, so when it comes out I'd wait for a reviewer to get their hands on it before I buy it.
@@Mb_Drei That’s fair. I have a metal replica and those always feel nicer, but the bandai one might have cool effects
Yup, it actually looks incredible, so I’m waiting for that one to hopefully deliver
The struggle to find a good master sword replica is real…
Can you show me a link?
Oh, Thats great! I already have their Keyblade Proplica (and credit card debt) They're Sculpts are great!
This video kind of pisses me off a bit. Half of it is him complaining that third-party companies aren't making a 100% accurate replica of the master sword. They cant fully copy its design due to copyright laws. I thought that was kind of obvious.
The 3d printing part also angers me a bit. Calling it lazy and junk isn't too cool since most people selling 3d prints online are there to make a quick buck. Sure some people really put in the effort to use strong materials and different colors to get a quality finished product. But most are using cheap materials to sell a cheap product online and make a bunch of money in a timely manner.
A lot of the things said in this video are just a bit wrong, I think Nifty should put a bit more time and care into educating himself before he says stuff on the internet. Of course its not all bad, just miss informing people should typically be avoided since most of them are very impressionable.
3:27 bro pulled out the misogyny + sonic render combo over the silly metal stick 💀
would've been funnier if after he said that we saw that one clip of Ninja with a big butt imitating them
Exactly what I thought watching this.
seriously though it was so unnecessary
How disappointing
came out of nowhere lmao
Loved the crafts u showed at the beginning of the video, it reminded me of the ones i used to do when i was a kid myself! Gotta say tho, the casual mysogyny at 3:27 and 3:49 kinda put me off lol, maybe work on that :)
…That isn’t mysogyny lmao
#1 is bashing Onlyfans models and #2 is bashing ‘fake gamers’ jokingly
@iamerror6546 it is, #1 is bashing specifically FEMALE OF models and #2 is implying female = fake gamer
@@dasideaccount 1.) Female OF models specifically are the ones that make the absolute most on there so it’s a general statement to say ‘Talentless OF Model’ and specifically mean women, who make a lot more on there compared to men.
2.) He was talking about the woman in the image, who absolutely looks like somebody who was paid to dress up like that and nothing more. As in a ‘Hey guys look it’s a woman that likes this! You should buy it!’. Plus the entire video is about inaccurate replicas and he sorta implies that you’re a fake zelda fan if you like the other ones too. Stop with your whiny ‘He’s a mysogynist!!!!!’ bullshit.
@iamerror6546 keep kidding yourself all you want, i really don't care. I never said he himself is a raging misogynist, but he was, in fact, making misogynistic jokes. Bye :)
@@dasideaccount When it’s against a woman, it’s mysogynistic. When it’s against a man, it’s all in good fun. Sod off with your unneeded comments on it
sorry i think it’s funny that at 18:00 “lazy 3d prints” are bad, but then at 18:04, the sword is good, even when, except for the blade, it’s visibly 3d printed💀
Not only that, there are some other swords i saw in this video that were VISIBLY printed.
The 18:04 is actually cast in aluminum. Used 3d printed forms.
@@ej-1608 the blade itself is but the hilt is entirely 3d printed. an issue with many master sword replicas like those is that the blade outweighs the hilt and literally snaps out of it. obviously still visually cool but the irony in his observation was funny
So for all your trash talking about 3D printing, its painfully obvious you know nothing about the process. I looked up the seller that you say want to buy from, and have shared pictures of his sword. The blade might be aluminum, but its unmistakable that the entire handle/hilt is 3D printed, and badly. Thick layer lines, and no kind of sanding or post-processing.
I really wanted to watch this video, I’m genuinely interested in the topic. But I couldn’t stop cringing at the casual misogyny that just KEPT popping up. I felt like someone was reading a 4chan board out loud to me.
literally pissed me off so much
@@drewbuescherreal
And this is why I always check the comments first, thanks man
Not 4chan XD
I didn’t see this comment but the first comment caught me so off guard, you mean there’s MORE? To be clear, I stopped watching after a bit, I knew exactly what I was getting into, a 4-Chan/Reddit post made into a video.
7:00 Well, here's the plot twist: the Master Sword's hilt it NOT purple.
The thing is, just like the Master Sword has only been blue in one game, there's only one game in the series in which the Master Sword has been purple too. And that's Twilight Princess.
So if it's not blue nor purple... Then what color is it? The answer is INDIGO.
Indigo is the color that sits right in between blue and purple. But depending on the lighting, it can look bluer than it actually is. Also, one of the most common forms of colorblindness is one that makes people struggle to see shades of red, so for them the Master Sword always looks blue.
Literally I wish more people pointed this out
saying “canonical” in a zelda video is laughable
Lmao, yeah. Perhaps I should have replaced every instance of me saying canon/canonical here to “the most consistent”.
@@niftydrifter agreed, “canonical” is a term that has no meaning in terms of Zelda
@@icommitdie8756 unless wer'e bringing up that one series of 2 games from 1993...
My favorite parts are the incel shit and lack of understanding 3d printing props. Especially since the last one he complained about had clearly 3d printed parts.
Master Sword from LTP and several other instances have had a blue color or aura to the blade. They handed you diamonds and you apparently didn't have enough hearts to shoot the beam!
Amazing job on the paper art though, Id have that stuff on display.
If it's a joke @ 3:30 or not, it left a bad taste. I was interested in the content and now I just have the ick from you.

@@SumGum cause its gross. Get the bag however you can. Aint no shame.
4:01 thats the master sword from A Link To The Past, that's why it looks so different
Was about to say the same thing right from the official artwork.
That brass sword has been around for some time. I remember seeing it years ago, and back then I too initially believed it was emulating the look of the Master Sword from A Link to the Past. I do show that sword later in the video (16:50), but I’m not seeing the resemblance you guys seem to be seeing. The shaping of the blades and guards aren’t the same, the guards’ colors don’t really match, the handle on the official art is red with a completely different texture, and the hilt gems are different shapes.
www.heroicreplicas.com/portfolio/link-to-the-past-master-sword
That’s a link to a replica of the ALttP Master Sword by Heroic Replicas. It resembles what's depicted in the official art significantly better. Also, a couple other commenters here have brought up how this brass sword was created by some guy who wanted to make a more practical Master Sword, and manufacturers just took his design and pumped out a bunch of replicas of it. Considering there are many listings for this sword on Amazon and other sites- all with minor variations in not only the sword itself, but the scabbard as well- I’m led to believe the narrative that it’s merely a reimagining that was simply stolen and mass produced (and not someone’s attempt at replicating the ALttP’s Master Sword).
Then again, I could be completely blind and not be seeing what you guys are.
@@niftydrifter Heroic Replicas also has a nigh 1:1 replica of the modern Master Sword, albeit extremely expensive. I got some custom work done from them a few years ago on an upgraded version of the cheap HF Murasama replica you'll see everywhere on the internet
@niftydrifter actually nevermind apparently you mentioned it in the video and I just wasn't listening actively
based on the cover art maybe
I know I'm a bit late finding this video, but yeah this was pretty much my experience when I was looking for my Master Sword a few years ago. For one of the the most iconic swords in gaming, I just couldn't believe how much junk was out there - and the complete lack of attention to detail really surprised me. Worst part was for a lot of them, people lapped it up and almost nobody seemed to notice. I'm glad you pointed out many of those glowing reviews are fake, but I've definitely seen even real people commenting extremely positive things about some real shoddy replicas. Left me scratching my head for sure.
In the end, while expensive, I went with Heroic Replicas. It was the only one with the attention to detail I was looking for.
i don't think i like this guy. from complaining about the smallest details in existence to the weirdly sexist comments. just build your own master sword at that point if you're that picky about the details.
never once did you notice the taper of the blade's edge going toward the tip as a detail, which many of these were not accurate with.
also, the idea that the Master Sword should never change appearance or need upgrading is fantasy on your part. in the canon of the games, the power of the Master Sword can and does fade over time. it's a part of the plotline of Wind Waker that its power must be restored. in Ocarina of Time, it's able to send Link's consciousness seven years into the future, but by A Link to the Past, it's so weak that a random blacksmith can strengthen it with a standard tempering and you still need the Silver Arrows to help destroy Ganon. speaking of the upgrades in A Link to the Past, by the way: they don't literally look like the concept art you showed. it's concept art for a reason. the in-game sprite shows the same sword with updated color schemes, and in A Link Between Worlds - the direct sequel set in the same Hyrule which also makes available those upgrades - it's shown to be the Master Sword in its original form, just with a changed blade color.
you _still_ aren't the Zelda expert you think you are. add to that your casual misogynistic comments, and we have ourselves a real loser.
this fandom doesn't need your voice until you do some growing up.
Both you and the creator of this video need to chill
(Although, before you get me wrong, you _are_ right.)
I am a person that likes to imagine what it'd be like if the games were done better/in a different way (like mixing BotW and TotK's story, mechanics and looks to make the perfect modern Zelda game, or making a hypothetical TotK based HW: AoC mod), so I get what he says about Link from ALttP simply throwing the M-sword to something like a blacksmith or a pond to enhance it, however, the M-sword wasn't in its prime (actually, far from it), so it's comprehensible why the upgrades.
On the other hand, the names...
Yeah, maybe instead of tempered and golden sword, we could have gotten the tempered and golden Master Sword. Although, it was the sword's debut, so, as the video creator said in one of his comments, it's not that much of a problem. He could have been less picky about it, though.
Also, one minor mistake in your comment- ALBW isn't ALttP's sequel, it comes after the oracles and LA (not Los Angeles, Link's Awakening lol), with a different Link from the other four games. It _is_ on the same Hyrule, and it's also a spiritual succesor to ALttP, because of the story, Dark World, items, etc. (Hero of Legend/New Hero of Legend, although the 2nd name is lazy). For reference, the follow-up to ALBW is TH (Triforce Heroes, which is barely a Zelda game in terms of story, although I love the mechanics except for offline game).
yeah you’re right. i clicked on this video bc i’m a massive zelda fan and i thought this would just be a fun vid poking fun at poorly made master sword replicas. but this dude gives off major incel vibes, i couldn’t keep watching after the second sexist remark he made.
Finally someone who thinks this too, I really wanted to enjoy this video but by the second random misogynistic attempt at a joke I was put off. Pair that with the major "ermmm achshually the Master sword should be like this all the time because its my favourite and that means its the best" energy and you get an uncomfortable user clicking off and removing their like.
Oh fuck off, all you drooling, gaped, herpes-ridden *PUSSIES.* Calling out e-whoredom is absolutely based.

The first one is literally mocking the OF girls and the second one it’s obvious that he is mocking that a half naked woman is advertising an item that is supposed to be for children
5:03, the guard does indeed break easily, i got this specific one as a gift in like 2014, i was carful with it, but it did end up breaking eventually, i still have it, the guard is pretty much all gone, and the blade wobbles, not the best quality in general

This fits perfectly.
You beat me to the quote! Immediately thought of this while watching the video lol Good catch! ;)
In the last Etsy sellers defense, i could be wrong but im pretty sure knives and swords have to be dull when shipped. And the buyer has to sharpen the blade themselves.
5:02 as someone who owns one of these,yes the crossguard instantly snaps from falling into stuff,it happened twice
3:28 Zelda fan try not to be an incel challenge
9:55 the blade is a pale blue in skyward sword and the part of the blade repaired by Zelda in totk is also blue and unlike skyward were you could wrongly argue that it’s just a stylistic choice the parts that weren’t damaged are gray and the rest is the same pale blue as the blade in skyward sword
ok so two things 1: i have that same master sword light and 2: i went to west edmonton mall and saw a perfect master sword replaca
I think I might've seen the same one
fuckin random ass misogyny jumpscare like 3 minutes in wtf
Love the video! I'm a fan of UA-cam which pushed me to wa-
But actually, I love the video, and personally believe you should be a bigger UA-camr with the quality of the content.
"I don't see the appeal of wanting a blackened master sword," You simply do not understand what it is like to be shadow the hedgehog in real life. I've always gravitated to the dark clones of popular heroes, dark link being no exception. Its just how i'm wired :3
Would've been a great video without the wierd comments in it... Why you gotta be the cliché of the nerdy incel? Just be a nerd! That's cool. Also 3d printing actually takes a great amount of time and effort, it's pretty annoying that you're being so demeaning towards those who do it. 🤷♀️
the best shot at finding good master sword replicas is honestly just going to comic con😭
Terraria, Minecraft, Sonic, Zelda stuff in one video, amazing content pal!
He has my respect for the true nights Edge
This reminds me of when I would make cardboard gameboys, and had paper games inside that you would pull up and down the paper to play
Yes! I used to do this too, except I’d make a paper DS and have a long strip of paper with a drawn-out 2D level and slide the DS along it. I was just copying stuff I had seen on UA-cam at the time, so it wasn’t really original, lol.
I also remember making a handheld based off the one depicted in this SpongeBob scene:
ua-cam.com/video/RuieI8kRfpA/v-deo.html
and cutting out slabs of cardboard that acted as cartridges you could shove into it. These “cartridges” would have still images of gameplay that would be positioned right at the handheld’s screen when inserted.
Good times.
@@niftydrifterI have a foam master sword that my dad bought for me after my birthday.
I dont know if you have seen but Proplica are bringing out an official master sword and it looks amazing, perfect PURPLE colour. I do want to get one from heroic replicas though as they are probably the best out here, the hylian shield also looks amazing by them.
you made me watch a 20 minute long talk about interesting and unique master sword designs instead of making your own, because thats what i expected from a master sword replica, but you did say replicas so i cant argue
About your issue with upgrading it in A Link to the Past, it still is a Base 30 Damage weapon, upgrading it to a 120 Damage Sword like in A Link to the Past is actually pretty sick.
And the Regular Master Sword cannot even hurt Ganon in A Link to the Past without using spin attacks because Ganon has the Full Triforce in his Posession and the Holiness of the Master Sword isnt that powerful enough , it needs to become the Golden Sword
Yeah, a significant damage increase and Ganon being unfazed by anything weaker than the Golden Sword IS pretty awesome, but stuff like that is irrelevant to the point I was trying to make in that tangent. The issues I have with upgrading the Master Sword in ALttP is that it’s physically altered (the color schemes on the swords’ pixel art change) and the ways to upgrade it aren’t necessarily fitting. These two things make the sword seem like it wasn't so legendary after all.
If I remember correctly, the Master Sword becomes the Tempered Sword after giving it to some blacksmiths, then becomes the Golden Sword after tossing it into some pool of water somewhere.
Such methods of upgrading insinuate the weapon wasn’t initially created to be the strongest it could have been. You mean to tell me Link’s perilous journey to temper the Goddess Sword into the Master Sword in Skyward Sword wasn’t enough, and sometime later another incarnation of Link just had to throw it into some fancy water to make it way better? Hell, it's not even called the "Master Sword" after the upgrades, which further sullies the mythical weapon.
Sure, if the sword is initially weak because of some excuse like dissipating power between games, that’s fine because it means the sword was initially much more powerful. If it can be upgraded, it should be through means less superficial (if that makes any sense). That’s why I mentioned Breath of the Wild’s Trial of the Sword being an exception, as it was merely unlocking the original, true power of the sword, and the method of getting said power wasn't something lame-ish like giving the sword to little blacksmiths who pound it with some hammers centuries after the legendary sword was born.
If there were some Captain America game where you could collect pieces of metal to reinforce his iconic shield, that would diminish its strength and origin by implying this near-indestructible weapon wasn’t created to be the best it could have been, and could easily be made better by finding some random chunks of metal somewhere. There would have to be some appropriate lore like, “Oh, before Howard Stark [the creator of the shield] died, he left some notes detailing the locations of several previously-unknown pieces of vibranium he would have loved to add to the shield himself,” in such a case.
Perhaps I should have been as explicit in the video as I am here, but I thought my mentioning of the BotW exception was sufficient. Hopefully, no one gets super angry about it, but if they do, maybe they’ll run into this comment for the clarification.
This whole thing is super nitpicky, I know, but I guess as someone whose first Zelda game with the Master Sword wasn’t ALttP, I expect the weapon and its reputation to be consistent. Again, Nintendo likely didn’t realize the Master Sword was going to be such a staple back then, so it’s not really that big a deal.

I caj completely understand that, but the idea that the sword can become evem stronger was also used in other Scenarios, we simply seem to forget that.
In Twilight Princess while the Sword is able to do an Exorcism on Link everytime he transforms into a Wolf when touching Zant's Shadow Crystals he made with Ganondorf's magic.
But only after powering up the Master Sword with the Light of the Sols it can cut through the Fog made out of Shadow Crystals.
And even Tears of the Kingdom showed us that the Master Sword can become stronger.
Not only did Zelda purify it to be immune to Gloom Corrosion which caused it to shatter, it also does the same ammount of Damage while almost every other Melee Weapon got a debuff of around 1/3 of its former strength (which is most likely Because the injury of Link's arm might reduce the force he is swinging the Weapons with)
Which means for example the Boulder Breaker was a 60 Damage weapon, now it is around 40 (38 is shown but claymores and similar 2 handed weapons deal 5% extra damage)
The Royal Broad Sword made 36 in Botw, now it is 24
The royal Guard Sword deals 48 in Botw, in TotK it's just 30
And the Master Sword kept the same damage values, which does theoretically means it did indeed get a bit stronger, considering that it should have 20 if it has the debuff as well but instead it still has 30, and eventhough it does only 45 damage in the Awakened state you also should remember that 60 Damage in Botw would be equal to 40,which means the Master Sword is even in the Awakened state a bit stronger.
it is just Link's Arm which is pretty weak.
@@Chris-gx1ei Lol, when it came to the weapon nerfs in TotK, I just thought of it from a game design perspective, where they clearly wanted you to power up the swords with Fuse to make them stronger, so I didn't think much of it. Link's arm being weaker is a good in-universe explanation, but I can't really agree that "60 damage in BotW is basically equal to 40 in TotK" especially since the sword does power up to 60 in TotK when fighting Phantom Ganons and Ganondorf. I understand where you're coming from, though. Everything else being weaker understandably makes the Master Sword seem stronger by comparison.
The sword no longer being affected by Gloom after it's healed is a better example of a genuine upgrade, as it shows the sword had adapted over time, but that's a more relative addition there to explain how it can now stand a chance against this specific Ganondorf and doesn't really change anything gameplay-wise. This likely won't be referred back to in later games (unless Gloom were to make a return). When the next Zelda game that has the Master Sword comes out (and takes place after TotK), it likely wont seem any stronger just because it became immune to Gloom previously.
As for Twilight Princess, I didn't mind imbuing the Master Sword with the power of the Sols since it didn't really change the look of it, only applying some light around the blade. On top of that, the power is only present when Link is in the Twilight Realm, so it always felt more like a surface-level addition to the Master Sword rather than a true upgrade (similar to fusing things to the sword in TotK). Like what I said about the Gloom immunity, the light of the Sols upgrade is more just a gimmick specific to Twilight Princess that has yet to be referred to in other titles since we haven't explored the Twilight Realm outside that one specific game.
In the end, as long as there's no drastic change in appearance to the sword when "upgrading", I'm fine with it. Raw damage numbers don't matter much since they're relative to their respective games (I lump BotW and TotK together since they're directly connected), and neither do specific changes to the weapon that are there more so for lore/consistency (Gloom in TotK) and gimmicks (Dark Fog in TP). Something like A Link Between Worlds with the Master Ore upgrades is different, in my opinion. We permanently added more metal to the sword with 4 chunks of ore, and since it's blade is now yellow/golden to reflect that upgrade, it should stay that color in later games unless we had lore explaining how the additional metal was taken out of the sword between games somehow (let's ignore wacky theories and timeline stuff, lol). Essentially, the additional power the sword gets in TotK and TP is different compared to direct strength upgrades we see in ALBW and ALttP.
I also just don't like the inconsistency of something like, "The Golden Sword was the only sword strong enough to damage Ganon in ALttP, but in Ocarina of Time the sword was capable of beating him without such an upgrade". I guess that would lead some people to argue OoT Ganon was actually weaker than ALttP Ganon, but at that point the discussion's just going to get tiresome, and I’ll just fall back to, “just keep the Master Sword’s look consistent”.
@@niftydrifterlate to the party, but oot ganon is significantly weaker than alttp's ganon, seeing as alttp takes place hundreds of years after oot during the fallen hero timeline. the master sword was essentially abandoned in a clearing for hundreds of years, bathed in sunlight and protected, yes, but while its base form might have once been enough to stop ganon, since ganon is in possession of the full triforce, not just the triforce of power, and has grown stronger in the hundreds if not thousands of years after killing the hero of time, it makes sense that the once unbeatable, divine sword doesnt have the power to do any direct damage to him anymore, thus upgrading and reforging the sword to be stronger makes sense, since that is technically what happens in skyward sword with the goddess sword once being strong enough to defeat demise, but needing to be forged into the master sword to defeat him once more.
both windwaker and breath of the wild show the master sword having lost its power and needing to be restored before becoming the true blade of evils bane, so its not outside of lore to think that when the master sword is returned to its pedestal and loses a wielder, it slowly loses power until its able to be returned to its full glory, whether it be through trials, practice, or reforging.
sorry for the rant but thats just how i see it, taking in account of the lore
@@themainnerd0566 Technically with the full Triforce Ganon is Potentially Omnipotent with minor limitations the moment he has it, I don't think he can get more Powerful than infinity over time with it. The moment you have the full Triforce under control you are almost as powerful as the Christian God, the Zelda Multiverse obeys your will when you have it - but they are some minor limitations to the Triforce, like for example that Members of the Gods Tribe cannot use it or that the Sacred Realm actually keeps its power within itself so that no one can simply wish himself out, or the Master Sword being the only weapon immune to its powers.
As someone who has been cardboard crafting, sewing, forging, and 3d printing, if you’ve never 3d printed before I don’t wanna hear you say it’s easy or lazy. Compared to making my own metal master sword 3d printing is the most annoying one out of everything (and I made an entire spider man costume by hand 3 times) I was really enjoying this vid till ur ignorance ruined it.
Hating on women is not gonna fix your problems bro. Sorry you never got any affection, hope it gets better man. Start by taking a hard look at yourself and why you hate women so much. Talk to someone, go to therapy, it helps
I’m pretty sure he doesn’t say he hates woman no offense

@@Great_saiyaman922 RIGHT
I suggest checking Renaissance fairs when replica shopping, they tend to have a wide variety and you can find an accurate piece here and there.
This guy is so relatable and is so underrated

Update on the Master sword replica, nintendo just recently announced an official Master Sword replica thats gonna be available in japan and i think america too!

I can almost guarantee it's because Nintendo owns copy rights to the Master Sword.
Someone else selling a perfect replica would be murky legal waters at best, so more than likely they all opt for it to be slightly different to not get sued.
Never heard someone complain so much.
I have the costume prop at home and it’s not that bad if you just want a Master Sword replica for an affordable price. It’s just plastic, but it’s still better than many of the other swords shown in this video. In fact, I still have it on display to this day!
You know, I unironically wanted to do a video like this, talking about the same swords and stuff and you beat me to time. But hey, congrats! It's still a great video, and I really liked it!
Boy, those boxy hand colored, papercraft really took me back. That was exactly the stuff I was making when I was a kid
A couple months ago, I went into a comicbook shop at a mall in my area. and they'd recently begun stocking a few hard foam swords, from what looked like various anime. The one day I went in, my eye was instantly drawn to a master sword, hanging on the wall among them. The reason it caught my eye was because it was shockingly accurate. And when I say accurate I'm holding that to the very highest standard. It looked like it had been directly modeled from a piece of official skyward sword art. The proportions of the blade, guard, hilt and insignia were all perfect and I mean PERFECT. The wings attached correctly, everything's the right shape and thickness. I'm not sure if its one hundred percent lifesize, but it feels like it is. It's even big enough to be held with two hands. The only point of inaccuracy was the light blue blade, but it is tinted blue in a lot SS and Botw's official art and it glows blue in game anyway, so it's barely an issue. The thing is, I have no idea where they got it. I've never seen another one, and it had no tags or labels, just a sticker with $25 written in marker on it. It must have come from the place as the other hard foam swords they get, but I don't know who supplies them. If I ever find out, the first thing I'm doing is seeing about getting a sheath.
3:27 bruh that was pretty gross ngl
There is theory that says that the Master sword from wind waker is a replica made by the sages and the sheika, thats why it looks different and well blue.
When Link left the adult timeline the Master sword left the timeline with him.
And maybe the green and gold master sword might be an attempt of making a nice looking golden master sword from a Link between worlds
It is supposed to be the real master sword in a diffrent artstyle!
@@Videospiel-Man5730 I don't think so, its to different to be the real master sword.
@@AlexxxMYLSince2013 Dude adult ootlink looks completly diffrent in Wind waker so why shouldnt the sword look diffrent too!?
@@Videospiel-Man5730 because when Link was send back in time by Zelda he left with the master sword, leaving Toon Link's timeline without it.
Soo, u realize that “if only I was a mildly attractive female with no talent” joke was a bit sexist right???
I had all of these problems when I tried to find a good replica years ago it’s actually crazy there isn’t a half decent replica under 300 dollars
how u gunna be that picky and broke at the same time
OOT 3D was my first Zelda game too bro! (and yes, it was the Nintendo selects version)
You don’t UNDERSTAND how much I needed this video in my life, I HATEEEE these “replicas” and it’s so ugly or not even the right color or shape or even design, I’m extremely picky about these replicas just like yourself but this video brings peace to my soul knowing there’s someone out there just like me when it comes to a video game sword being inaccurate
The thing is right, I'm trying to enjoy the video so hard but genuinly your tone and attitude just comes across as bitching and complaining at times, Yes alot of these aren't good products and should be better quality, but saying that 3d printing is "lazy" is just really lame dude
man really pulled out misoginy over a plastic video game. and also calling 3D printing lazy, even tough it takes HOURS or even days depending on the whole product, and sometimes it just doesnt even work properly
I bought the one at 5:54 when I was like 11, I still have it over a decade later, but the tip is broken off and the wings on the guard have also gone throughout extensive use. It was a nice nostalgia hit to see what it originally looked like, haha.
I also got the dark variation of the "weird blue lip" version as a christmas gift not too long ago, it makes for decent enough office decor.
Is this video a joke? Half of the info is just flat out wrong.
4:05 fun fact: this is actually the ALTTP manga Master Sword. The cover shows that color scheme but with a more accurate shape.
I wonder why he considers Wind Waker not canon when it's officially stated to be so?
Edit: Now I feel bad if he actually bought that sword off Etsy because of how PROPLICA came out with their preorders for an official, metal, accurate, $200 Master Sword replica... (this is not an ad, but I wouldn't mind getting paid for this)
The story is canon, the looks aren't.
(I mean, no offense to WW, and I wouldn't mind if I got a WW Master Sword, but imagine TotK Link's legendary weapon with that look.)
Then again, there _are_ theories that say that WW's Master Sword is another Master Sword.
i think he means the most consistent look
Funny story, Bandai actually just announced they’re making a Replica Master Sword as part of the Proplica series. It’s over 40 inches long and it even has a sheath and looks really good.
It's illegal to have videos so awesome with only 20k subs
yeah! I'd expect 40k subs at least... I wonder what's scaring half the ppl away?
@@Goddess_Moros They bought the fake swords and are convincing themselves that it wasn't an expensive mistake... :P
So, I bought that Twilight Princess shield at an anime convention years and years ago. The handles broke from me just carrying it around. You dodged a bullet on that one. The screws holding the handles in place were less than half an inch thick.
Actually, the hilt of the Master Sword is indigo which is in between blue and violet (purple).
i would say 🤓 but the video is also very 🤓 so you get a pass
@@frenchtheguy I honestly don't get what that emoji is supposed to do to people who is knowledgeable about their certain interests. It almost comes off as projection/jealousy from people who lacks hobbies...
I actually bought the second blue blade master sword and I am really happy with it. It came with a nice leather and metal scabbard, and the blue blade isn’t all too bad. Looks like the powered up master sword tbh. Only gripe is that it is a bit heavy.
