Description
Here it is, in all it's painted glory. (Insert LOZ Discovery music) The Guardian of Hyrule... that is the name I am going with. I thought it fits because Link is prety much the Guardian of Hyrule and half of the handle guard is half of his shield.. hence guarding.. The idea came partly from fellow Deviant datazeroone2 because of his suggestion: "Hylian Defender" For those who don't know, this is my first attempt at designing my own custom keyblade. I chose to theme it after The Legend of Zelda because LOZ Twilight Princess was by far my all time favorite game... I still remember the day I finished it, I think I was 8 or 9, definitely one of my proudest moments.

The keyblade is entirely composed of MDF except for the green deer skin wrapping the handle. The pieces were cut out with a jigsaw and hand carved with a knife and assorted wood working tools. The total length is exactly 4 feet not including the keychain and it took about two weeks to finish. That includes coming up with the design, cutting and carving, and then painting.

You can see my original concept art here : www.deviantart.com/art/Legend-…

You can also see some WIP pics on my Facebook page : www.facebook.com/pages/Sephiro…

The unpainted version is here : www.deviantart.com/art/Unpaint…

If you'd like to make your own version, I've made a digital template for the keyblade here : sephiroths-shadow.deviantart.c…

I hope you guys like it and, as always, I'd love to hear what you think of it.

see ya
