           hands walking around.  its an example of how incredibly efficient

When we read that Paul Hantschel, one of our forum users, owns a real-life replica of the famous Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda series, we couldnt just leave well enough alone. So we contacted Paul and asked for some details on his little artifact. Hantschel emailed blacksmith Rob Miller of Castle Keep , located in Scotland, with the initial concept and original artwork. Around a week later, Rob responded and requested detailed dimensions for every aspect of Links Master Sword. After a ten-month wait period and a 1,800 transaction around $3,300, Rob began work on the sword of legends. The blacksmith provided updates of his progress during the one-and-a-half-month forging process. With them he included photographs of the sword, which Paul has graciously shared with PGC: Thats one great sword, if you ask us! Now Ive just got to go to my local gravestone peddler and get a Pedestal of Time made up! Michael TYP says: Thats quite an investment, but it is a damn cool one!
