Summary
A player ofThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomhas recreated several in-game weapons in real life. Other players haverecreated real-life items inTears of the Kingdom, so it only makes sense to go the other way around.
Much like its groundbreaking predecessor,The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomboasts a variety of cool-looking yet breakable weaponry to use in combat, ranging from a measly tree branch to sturdier swords crafted for the royal guard. InTears of the Kingdom’s story, the Upheaval sent Gloom spraying onto Hyrule’s surface, decaying most of its weaponry, but thankfully Link’s new Fuse ability allows him to overcome this with some powerful combinations. That said, stronger and rust-free versions of these weapons can be found in the Depths by taking them from the spirits of old explorers, and those variants were clearly what inspired this fan’s art.

Reddit user dreadhawk17 shared a series of photographs depicting several recreated pieces of equipment fromTears of the Kingdom, created through sculpting and paint. Aside from a wooden replica ofMajora’s Mask an unlockable piece of in-game gear, the others replicate various in-game weapons, including the restored and decayed versions of the Master Sword, a Gerudo Scimitar, a Royal Guard Broadsword and Claymore, and the rare, hard-to-come-by Demise Sword. Apparently, these sculptures were commissions from a fan of the user, although the Demise Sword was shrunken down to accommodate for the fact that real life humans aren’t as large as its original wielder.
Many fellow Redditors in the comments appeared quite impressed with what they saw. Some questioned how exactly these copies were made, but others suggested that they were 3D printed. Others decide to take their sarcastic or joking jabs at the objects being replicated, warning the OP not to put on Majora’s Mask or poking fun at how brittleTears of the Kingdom’s Royal Guard weapons tend to bedespite their majestic designs. When pressed for details, the OP noted that the project took about seven months, with each individual sculpture taking four to five weeks even while working on two at once.
Over the decades, video game fans have shown their love for their favorite games in a variety of ways, and one of the most common forms in recent years are real-life replicas of in-game characters or items, some larger in scale than others.Tears of the Kingdomplayers have replicated its charactersand items in a variety of creative ways, despite the game being less than three months old, so it should be a treat to see where the community will go next.
