Feel like celebrating Zelda’s 25th birthday with something big, bulky and heroic? It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this stuff. https://kotaku.com/happy-25th-birthday-the-legend-of-zelda-5765780 This Zelda sword and shield (of which there are two sets, one for Ocarina of Time and one for Twilight Princess) were made by Fiberglass Blades, a small custom accessory and weapon builder specialising in cosplay gear. If you think [[link]] the shield looks [[link]] enormous and heavy, well, you’re only half right.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); It only looks heavy, thanks to a lavish helping of automotive paint that [[link]] gives it that “steel” appearance. It’s actually made of resin, with a foam-filled interior to ensure that the shield is actually extremely light, should you want to actually use it for cosplay (and don’t have the guns to lug around a proper metal shield all day). The swords are similar, made again of resin but this time reinforced with aluminum and fiberglass rods. These aren’t museum pieces; you can actually buy them, with contact info at the link below.
