Unlike the Magic Sword, although the Weapon Gallery blurb references The Legend of Zelda, it takes no visual cues from any sprites or art related to the Magical Shield in that game. Instead, it is a new design created with reference to the Magic Sword as seen in Soulcalibur II, itself based on art from the LOZ Instruction Booklet.
