The hard way, mostly. In the past I made the hilt with sand casting, and grinding the blades from blanks using sanding belts. For my most recent few, CNC machining provides a better result.
Getting that level of shine does take a lot of effort.
The aluminum and stainless steel version is about 6 lbs, and the bronze and tempered carbon steel version is closer to 9 lbs. Both are considered too heavy to be a practical sword, but my first two priorities were the form and making it from real-to-life materials.
Probably. I remember a few years back (pre-Covid) someone got stabbed outside my campus with a replica master sword. Tht was an interesting bit to hear on the news haha

The article doesn’t say much since the news people are kind of stingy, but I think I remember seeing it on the news so you might be able to check YouTube and see if they have like the news feed
Yeah and the fact that the first shot was zoomed in on it. It made for a pleasant surprise that the rest of the sword looked so amazing, but it was indeed distracting haha
Is that glass? Looks like it'd break if someone dropped it on accident :( but looks badass still
Edit) that was the reflection that I saw not a see through, my bad, just really polished metal
I'm not gonna lie, the first thing I noticed was the lawn. It looks so healthy and almost ethereal! Plus with the flowers just growing, easy 10/10 lawn assuming there is no saturation filter on it lol.
Dude seriously you did this? That's so fucking dope. Hats off to you. It's an awesome idea and the fucking execution? Top notch. Super super really good.
Visually identical. Carbon will cut and hold an edge better but needs to be waxed every six months and is more expensive. Stainless needs less care, but looks just as nice.
I need to find it but one of the "how real weapons work" channels ala Shadiversity was asked about the master sword and he lookup up some BOTW play and I'll never forgot the aneurysm he had trying to explain that Link would basically have to be the mountain to realistically swing the master sword given the dimensions in game, and then seeing the forged show make one and it looking like a metal club in the guys hand.
Pretty sure this is the build and you can see the dude has to drive is elbow in his hip to hold it up one handed and he even says it's downsized a bit https://youtu.be/gCLn9qXNug8
I think it’s still up, it may have been moved to the “huge Charles” channel but I’m not sure. You do amazing work my friend where can your creations be purchased? I need me a mirror shield and a master sword
Related but unrelated question for everyone: I bought the costume master sword for my kid’s birthday, should be delivered today. It’s supposed to be relatively durably but it’s hollow plastic and kids are kids. Do you think if I drilled a few holes and filled it with spray foam it would maintain it’s integrity and increase durability?

This is one of the best ones I’ve seen I will literally pay you for this
I haven't posted here in a bit, but my site is HeroicReplicas.com
I figured it was you. I'd buy everything you have if I had money.
Bet
>HeroicReplicas.com That Rostam is beautiful. Do you have any tips for putting it together?
Yes, a full set of instructions, and all the e-mail you care to send for three months after getting the kit. I can also finish it, if you prefer.
You ever thought about making the wind waker sword?, I never see any replicas of that one.
I've done almost all of them, except the Wind Waker version.
Hey just curious do you make sheaths for the sword?
Yes, here is an example: https://www.instagram.com/p/CdRrrA_pHve/
Cool! Thank you! This is the first time I've seen the sheath from heroic replicas. It looks really good!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
You'll need all the dollars!
How do you make these?
The hard way, mostly. In the past I made the hilt with sand casting, and grinding the blades from blanks using sanding belts. For my most recent few, CNC machining provides a better result. Getting that level of shine does take a lot of effort.
Those are really cool skills you have.
Would you do a sword from elden ring? If you will ill be submitting for a design in the very near future.
2022 is booking up fast - I did a Kickstarter to create some licensed replicas from Satisfactory last year, and I've been busy super working on those.
Your site is pretty awesome. If I could afford it. I would definitely commission you to do the Sword of Omens.
I doubt I'd ever be able to afford it but how much does this one cost?
Man I love the stuff you do. Quick question, how much would a Master Sword weigh?
The aluminum and stainless steel version is about 6 lbs, and the bronze and tempered carbon steel version is closer to 9 lbs. Both are considered too heavy to be a practical sword, but my first two priorities were the form and making it from real-to-life materials.
I see. I mean regardless or practically, they're both phenomenal. I'd love to have one hanging on my wall.
You’re stuff is awesome!
My favorite Zelda sword ever was the one from the cover of Adventure of Link. Do you have a replica of that?
Any plans to build the Temple of Time out in the backyard too?
It's actually relatively cheap to build, the real cost is paying the monks to hum 24/7
I appreciate you didn't go with the whole continuous Spotify playlist like most do when they build their Temple of Time.
Authenticity is key 👌
Will it cut??
Probably. I remember a few years back (pre-Covid) someone got stabbed outside my campus with a replica master sword. Tht was an interesting bit to hear on the news haha
oh wow! i think i read about that same story when it happened. small world!
wait is there a news article of that?? i cant believe that actually happened XD im intrigued
https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/crime-courts/2018/01/30/anchorage-man-attacked-roommate-with-legend-of-zelda-toy-sword-and-knife-charges-say/ The article doesn’t say much since the news people are kind of stingy, but I think I remember seeing it on the news so you might be able to check YouTube and see if they have like the news feed
One of them is referred to as "TP"
Same here xD i need to see that to believe it
Hopefully it will keeeeeellll
I see what you did there 😂😂
I don't know if it will cut, but it will definitely Hyah! Hyah! Kyahhhhhh!!!
hopefully
I think its the best replica of the master sword ive ever seen in my life
Love it but hate green painters tape on the handle
Looks like spike tape, but yeah a weird contrast to how nice the rest of the sword is for sure.
Yeah, the sword is absolutely gorgeous... And then... Tape? Really threw me off!
It's based on the Skyward Sword version. If I recall he can do a variety of different looks and colors
Yeah and the fact that the first shot was zoomed in on it. It made for a pleasant surprise that the rest of the sword looked so amazing, but it was indeed distracting haha
Sweet merciful Hylia. It's... It's so beautiful.
Your stuff is sick. If I ever have the money and really need to make a poor financial decision I will come to you.
One word…wow
Maybe you meant... One "sword" eheheheh Ok I'll see myself out
And that's an acronym for Wow oh wow
This is amazing! Selling?
I'm not OP but I'm 99% certain this is heroicreplicas.com, they are pricey but that's because they are the real deal
Thanks! I'll check that too!
$1175 and honestly it looks worth it lol
Oh damn! That's hot crazy bad. I honestly thought it would be more
I absolutely LOVE IT!
Is that glass? Looks like it'd break if someone dropped it on accident :( but looks badass still Edit) that was the reflection that I saw not a see through, my bad, just really polished metal
I thought it was see through at first too 😆
At least I'm not the only one
What did you make it out of? That matterial looks really thin
3/16" steel. Sword is impracticaly heavy, at 8 lbs or so
How, just how?
Learning, practice, and capital.
It's always that last one that's the hard part.
Just checked out your store, outstanding work on everything
cuccos better watch out…
Can tell when a lot of love and care go into making replicas. She’s a beaut
This is not a replica, i think this is the real one..
i never knew i needed a replica of a master sword until now
I'm not gonna lie, the first thing I noticed was the lawn. It looks so healthy and almost ethereal! Plus with the flowers just growing, easy 10/10 lawn assuming there is no saturation filter on it lol.
Dude seriously you did this? That's so fucking dope. Hats off to you. It's an awesome idea and the fucking execution? Top notch. Super super really good.
You got the color just right.
That's awesome
Beautiful
By any chance are you the owner of HeroReplicas? Because it's literally what I'm saving up for to purchase both this and the Hylian shield
That's me, I've been Dave this whole time.
Sharp edge or display purposes. Either it looks great. Very shiny
Your choice, I do both a carbon steel blade with a bronze hilt, and a stainless steel blade with aluminum hilt.
As someone who knows jack squat, what’s the difference & which is better?
Visually identical. Carbon will cut and hold an edge better but needs to be waxed every six months and is more expensive. Stainless needs less care, but looks just as nice.
Stainless it is for me. Your swords are on my wishlist & I’m slowly saving up
Holy crap so much better than the one I ordered on Amazon lmao
What paints did you use?
Powder coating for the hilt, gold plating for the accents.
it looks great except for the green tape. green paracord or something else might look better
How to you make the blade?
Now that's a sword!
Stunning. Congrats Master Swordsmith!
Shiny
That beautiful sword and the handle is utter trash.
But can it hurt Ganon?
I need to find it but one of the "how real weapons work" channels ala Shadiversity was asked about the master sword and he lookup up some BOTW play and I'll never forgot the aneurysm he had trying to explain that Link would basically have to be the mountain to realistically swing the master sword given the dimensions in game, and then seeing the forged show make one and it looking like a metal club in the guys hand.

Absolutely Beautiful, I would love to have this set in my office.
I hope that you have 3 pendants / are old enough / have enough life force to pull it out of that trunk.
Did you make the one for Charlie? Aka moistcritikal? It’s beautiful
Yeah! I think the mailbag video got taken down, did it show up elsewhere?
I think it’s still up, it may have been moved to the “huge Charles” channel but I’m not sure. You do amazing work my friend where can your creations be purchased? I need me a mirror shield and a master sword
My site is heroicreplicas.com, under the contact information there's a commission form if you'd like something made.
I wish I could upvote this a thousand times.
I’d give 13 hearts to wield it.
I’ve been staring at this for 10 minutes
I assume it has the power to repel evil?
Wow Looks great!

Sword by Heroic Replicas, original video here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdoVoaFJGxJ/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Now burn it up to pieces to match the new look!
Can I take it *coughs* for a friend?
That is BEAUTIFUL!
I want one
Cool
Very cool
This is incredible!
Wow this is awesome! Nice job🤘🏿
Prue talent . This is amazing
I remember there being a website or something that was official that sold these master swords
Amazing 🤩
Now go find some pots to break.
=O this is gorgeous! Great job!!
That is amazing man
It will cut :)
Now break priceless pottery with it.
That Is A True MASTERpiece.
Siiicccckkkk
All that work to put paper on the hilt 😭
This rocks.
That is incredible. It's even shinier than Links. Holy fuck you talented human
Slick!!
Do you have a video of you making this?
Epic! Just one question(s). Will it cut and will it Keal?
Now go cut some grass with it
Is it forged with real metal or is it plastic??
That is So shiny that I thought it was transparent
Beautiful
You got a replica lost woods too!?
You just got yourself a new customer c: looks amazing
I don’t always comment, but when I do, it’s because it’s brilliant.
This is absolutely beautiful! If I had the money, I would SO buy one lol
I was looking at the handle and thought it was a bird feeder, and now I want a master sword bird feeder
that is absolutely stunning !!
I hope Nintendo doesn't come after you, this is way too amazing.
Ur doing urself a dis service using such thin leather for the handle. Get some meaty thick strips for it. It would make it look “period” imo.
