The blade of evil’s bane, the Master Sword, is a legendary weapon. Appearing in most titles of the Legend of Zelda video game series, the Master Sword is wielded by heroes and feared by foes.

Tony Swatton, a blacksmith of 30-plus years, hosts Man at Arms: taking what was once fictional and bringing it to life in his shop. This hand-crafted Master Sword, based off of the design in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time looks just like it does in the game – magnificent and deadly. It’s amazing to see such a laborious process documented in such a short clip.

Of course, this isn’t the only fictional blade Tony has forged. Check out the AWE me channel on YouTube for Ichigo’s Zangetsu, Sora’s Kingdom Key, Sokka’s Meteor Sword and much, much more.
