Zelda: Breath of the Wild fan makes Guardian Sword++ out of stained glass

fans are eagerly waiting The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom To launch, while spinning fan theories and creating impressive works of art in the meantime. One such task is to take a stained glass on the Guardian Sword ++, the most advanced version of the weapon the Legend of Zelda: breath of the wild,

breath of the wild Filled with all kinds of weapons, of course, but it’s particularly well being recreated in stained glass thanks to the vibrancy of its design. The stained glass version of the sword shimmers beautifully in the sunlight, refracting light in the background. Creator apirsdotter “fell in love” breath of the wild “I had a little savings when the lockdown started after I bought my Switch light,” he explained via email. “I was hesitant because it was already a few years old, but I decided to give it a try, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.”

He started the project while waiting for the game’s sequel to launch. “Obviously, I was really excited when I heard about the release tears of the kingdomand I can’t think of anything else,” he said. “So when I was working on my last stained glass project, genshin impact, This weapon came to mind.

When he shared his creation on Reddit, it quickly went viral. Several commenters also cracked weapon durability jokes – perhaps a stained glass sword would be more durable than the in-game version of the weapon?

It took about a week to make the stained glass sword, from the days of “designing the pattern” – to make sure it was strong enough to actually be made once – and “choosing the colors, it making sure I had the right glass sheets,” as well as all the cutting, grinding, and soldering work. Cutting even the most curved parts proved a challenge. “It might take three to four tries before some of them get it right !” he said. He has worked with stained glass for less than a year now, and aims to recreate other weapons from video games and anime.

In breath of the wild, Link can obtain the Guardian Sword after defeating the Guardian Scout. But getting the Guardian Sword++ link requires beating “A Major Test of Strength” trial in the Shrine, which means defeating Guardian Scout IV – one of the more deadly enemies you can find in this type of dungeon.

Just don’t try to fight the stained glass, no matter how tempting it may look. “I didn’t even think about how fragile it was when I was preparing it,” said Apiersdotter. “If anyone buys it, please don’t carry it around fighting invisible Bokoblins.”
