A creative fan of The Legend of Zelda has ingeniously crossed the iconic Nintendo franchise with LEGO by crafting a replica of the Master Sword using spare bricks. While the colors are a mix of multicolored LEGO pieces, the design unmistakably resembles the legendary weapon from The Legend of Zelda series.
The Master Sword has been a hallmark of the Zelda franchise for over 30 years, first appearing in the 1991 game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It has since become a recurring weapon, featuring prominently in titles like Breath of the Wild and even making a cameo in the Switch port of Skyrim.
Fan-made replicas of the Master Sword are common, but Reddit user Tinenan's creation stands out due to its distinct multicolored look while retaining the essential elements that make it recognizable. The creator shared an image of the sword on the official Zelda subreddit, showcasing the life-sized replica emerging from a base adorned with the Triforce symbol from the series.
Fans quickly praised the build, expressing admiration for how the builder managed to keep the Master Sword recognizable despite using a rainbow of LEGO bricks instead of its traditional color scheme. Many comments focused on the impressive design and made references to the legendary achievements of the Master Sword throughout the series.
Regarding the construction process, Tinenan mentioned that they built the entire sword from the base to the hilt with patience and a lot of LEGO pieces, without using any guides or blueprints. Specific details about the sword's size or the time it took to build were not provided. The sword is seemingly attached to the base, making it impossible to wield like Link does in the games.
While this Master Sword was crafted by hand without instructions, fans eager to bring the Zelda franchise to life with LEGO bricks in an official capacity won't have to wait long. An official Zelda LEGO set based on the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time is set to release later this year, offering fans the opportunity to build something from the series themselves.
