Master Sword From Video Game - Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild

I decided to make the Master Sword from the acclaimed video game, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. My name is Sahan Abraham and I am a junior at Dublin Jerome in Ohio. This project was initially a personal side project that I would work on the side of my main assignments, however, this quickly turned into a passion project that I would dedicate a lot of time into and finally finish. I love playing video games, and BOTW is a personal favorite of mine. So when the opportunity arose, I took on the challenge to recreate this iconic gaming icon.

Step 1: Handle

For the First piece, I made the handle, mainly made from a revolved sketch to two disk-shaped bottoms.

Then I attached a cylinder and used the thread tool to give a 'grip type' design.

Step 2: Hilt Plus Handle Plate

The Master Sword from the Game has a distinctly shaped hilt with slots for which the Wings and the Blade fit through.

This was made purely from speculation and eyeballing the measurements. This is a major part as almost all the pieces are connected to this piece. The dimensions and scaling factor are decided by the Hilt. A circular base was added for the easy attachment of the handle below it.

Step 3: Blade Plus Insignia

Main Blade is made of a horizontally elongated hexagon for both the long side and the short side. In between both blades is the emblem/ insignia. This was made by sketching out the shape and increasing the filet to a lot more than needed to give it the extra curve and a swooping shape. The symbol is the Triforce symbol from the Zelda games and is colored yellow to help it stand out.

Step 4: Feather Wings

These are the feather wings that are both attached to the side of the hilt, giving the sword's base and complete look. These serve no purpose other than to accessory proposes. These were a challenge to make as I was stumped on how I was going to achieve its signature corrugated design. I achieved this by taking an overview plane above the wings, sketching out the required amount and size of indentations needed, and cutting through the wings as needed.

Step 5: Attachment of Complete Blade Only

All that was left was to insert/ mate/ and flush the blade, handle, plate, and wings into the hilt and complete the blade.

Step 6: Base

In my opinion, to honor the origin of the blade, I had to give the sword its stone as well. So I made a simple double-level triangular base with a blade-sized cut through the base's center to hold the blade upright.

Step 7: Final Product

This is it, after a lot of time and effort, I am pretty proud of the final product that I was able to accomplish.

This is the culmination of the Complete blade Assembly attached inside of the base.

Step 8: 3D Printed Version
