By the way, this is a real sword, right? I mean you can kill people with it can't you? If you wanted to that is.

I've got a plain old Starfire sword for practice combat.
Well, I wasn't totally sure.
Did the the guy from Castle Keep say anything about it? I mean, did he know it was from a video game and stuff, or did you just send in the pic, he made it, end of story?
You should tell Nintendo about this as well, if you haven't already.

How much would it cost for them to make another replica, seeing as they've already done the molds and such? I really want one, however I think I'd get the OoT blue one. Do they also make sheaths for them? The OoT blue and gold sheath is just too cool.

No, that was DoS attacks and hackers. It sucked too. I'm still not done cleaning up from the incident in December.

Hackers are people who know really well the workings of a specific medium or problem, and they develop a sort of natural intuition for it. Kids who carry out DOS attacks are called 'crackers'. Getting the two mixed up is a big no-no.

The story was still up last time I checked. Only the Talkback thread is gone.
I couldn't find either- I had to send manunited to this thread instead.
Also, the sword is based on the Master Sword from LttP, no? If so, then it is indeed a faithful replica- I don't think a guy willing to dish out $3,000 for a sword would arbitrarily decide on the wrong color for the hilt.

Do you have any sketches or designes that guy made for your sword? I'm making wooden replicas of famous swords and someone wants me to make the master sword for him. You can mail me or go to my site http://www.geocities.com/wesselzelda2/swordshome.html

you can make the steel blue?
Why not... paint it or something?
I didn't think the handle of the master sword was metal, too
Post by: Coarse_Limely on April 08, 2004, 10:32:08 AM
Anywho, yes, you can make metal blue, but it's a complicated process that's costly and can also weaken the metal to a certain degree, as I understand it. Painting it would look ugly and/or require constant touch-ups.

I have a few questions for you.... First off, did you get the tri-force symbol just forged into the sword, or did you get the actual dimensions and the sword from nintendo? (or whoever owns the rights) If so, how did you get the legality part of the project taken care of? I wanted to get some "authentic" work from some anime done myself and just wandered how I could go about doing it. Thanks for the help!!
Post by: Coarse_Limely on April 08, 2004, 02:25:58 PM
So long as the item isn't being mass-produced and sold on ebay or anything like that, legality really isn't an issue. It shouldn't be a problem to have your replicas made.
As for the dimensions, I extrapolated them from the games within a certain margin for error and scaled them to my own height vs. Link's (I'm a bit taller).
Post by: Link_Up on April 10, 2004, 01:33:01 PM
How heavy is that (really nice) sword anyway? I just got Narsil in and that thing is about 10 kilo's. Here are some measurements:
Overall Length: 52-7/8"
Blade Length: 40-5/8"
Blade Thickness: 1/4"
Post by: Coarse_Limely on April 10, 2004, 05:15:29 PM
I like the replicas of Narsil that are circulating, myself. My favorite is the Shards of Narsil one, though, where it's still in its shattered state. Not very useful, but a great-looking display piece.

That still looks pretty close to a real ocarina. It's sweet.

Task 2: Make a tuned Ocarina
Task 3: Make an accurate replica of the Zelda Ocarina.
