Link's Master Sword Forged
The Master Sword, the sword that allows Link to wield unimaginable power - power to slay tyranny time and time again. Yes that sword has been forged. A Zelda fan name Paul Hantschel sent artwork and a request to renowned blacksmith Rob Miller of Scotland for help. Nearly 8 months later and $3,300, the sword was forged.
The replica is incredibly beautiful and although not the first - it certainly the most accurate. Many of the other replicas I've seen are too thin. The Master Sword is hefty, not dainty. Only a hero with great strength like Link can wield the weight.

Lookie here for the original post. Mr. Hantschel, I envy you.
