Becoming the Hero of Time is cheaper than it was last year

You know what's missing from this blogger's life, apart from a fleet of Aston Martins, an unlimited supply of Cool Original Doritos with salsa dip, and a wife who is also Audrey Tautou? The Master Sword, that's what.Fortunately, Zelda fan and amateur bladesmith Jerry Bennett has given yours truly a chance to fill that weapon-shaped hole with this frankly stunning functional rendition of gaming's most famous blade. Jerry has placed the weapon on eBay with a "Buy It Now" price of $1,800, which is some $1,500 cheaper than the Master Sword we wrote about last year.
With a blade forged from three pounds of steel, a handle crafted from the wood of a golden apple tree, and the ability to repel all that is evil in the land of Hyrule, we're truly sorry we don't have two grand burning a hole in our pockets. As it is, we can only scroll sadly through the various pictures of the sword we'll never own over on this forum thread. Join us, why don't you.

You're not gonna TRY to get it? Come on, do anything! Become a ninja, say you can't pay for a cast for your broken arm, ANYTHING!

i was really close to buying a cheap-o master sword near where i live. it was 60 bucks, but it was dull and made out of a cheaper steel and wood. well, i think the handle was plastic. but still, as a prop for movies or just to keep in my house, it looked pretty awesome. they also had the shield there too! i dunno the price for that though..

And so begins my quest to become a swordsmith and make myself a Master Sword and Gunblade, among other sexy weapons. :D

That is one shiny Master Sword... And it would be pretty funny (but awesome!) if the pedestal was included.

That is the most beautiful replica of the Master sword that I've ever seen.
