YouTube member and craftsman HappyAtom has uploaded his latest video that goes over step-by-step instructions on how to recreate your own replica wooden shield from the Legend of Zelda.

YouTuber ZaziNombies has recently built a life size Hylian Shield comprised entirely of LEGOs. The shield is based off the Skyward Sword design, but to make it similar to his Minecraft style creations he used a more pixel art look when making it. The shield is made up by a whopping 2000 LEGOs, is 28 inches long and 2o inches wide, and as ZaziNombies himself predicts, can withstand multiple slashes from a proper metal sword. The best way to see…
Pretty much all of the replica Hylian Shields out there that you can buy are made of wood.

A little more closely they could be said to resemble the Deku Shield with the red design on a wooden…

Skyward Sword introduced a semi-advanced upgrade system to make leveling Link more interesting. What it brought to the table was something fresh and new while unrefined all the awhile. The acquisition of said treasures was actually enjoyable, but the amount and variety of treasures necessary to successfully refine equipment was unbalanced. When it comes to The Legend of Zelda, gamers have high standards for every new title. Nintendo was bold to experiment with a deeper upgrade system, however they nearly…
