    A Historical Analysis of the Practicality of the Weapons in Zelda. Part I: The Master Sword.

    Sure, but largely my design changes would be the same. Thinning the blade, tapering it a bit, and trimming down the guard. I could use that as an opportunity to talk about arming swords, or one-handed swords, but overall the view I shared here would be mostly the same.
