Tamashii Nations, which is based in Tokyo, has just unveiled its latest product, a life-sized replica of The Legend of Zelda's Master Sword that is built with sound effects, songs, and a vibration feature.
The replica Master Sword measures 41.3 inches long and is already available for pre-order with a price of $200 and will be released somewhere between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. Additionally, the item will come with a sheath and a dedicated display stand for authentic home display.

The product has become available as the Master Sword is probably one of, if not the most, iconic weapons in the history of video games. It was introduced in the highly popular Legend of Zelda franchise.
The sword has a legendary status as the ultimate weapon against evil and has been wielded by Link in his quest to protect the kingdom of Hyrule and its Princess Zelda.
There have been many versions of the sword throughout the years but each has been necessary in taking down various incarnations of the evil Ganon, according to BleedingCool.
It also appears that Tamashii Nations is taking a short break from the S.H.Figuarts game in order to dive into the world of The Legend of Zelda with its new replica. The company noted that the item contains sound effects related to the Master Sword and songs from The Legend of Zelda series.
When the item is in Sound Effect Mode, inputting commands for each button will play the corresponding sound effect. Additionally, the replica Master Sword's vibration gimmicks are built-in to match each action.

Tamashii Nations said that the dedicated display stand that is included with the product has a base that can be arranged to display the Master Sword in its sheath. This item is most likely going to be a fine addition to any collector's assembly of video game paraphernalia.
While the replica Master Sword is just that, a replica, people who buy it should still care when handling it because it is made from a high-quality ABS material and has some degree of sharpness to its blade, said GameSpot.
The Legend of Zelda Franchise
The replica Master Sword's $200 price tag can be somewhat daunting for some, which is fortunate that the item comes in a cheaper $25 version. While this particular Master Sword replica is not as detailed, or as sharp, it will be easier to get your hands on.
On top of the replica Master Sword, you can also get an iconic Hylian Shield replica from The Legend of Zelda series that Link usually carries around for only $20. While this particular item won't be sturdy enough to stop a frontal assault, at least it looks the part.
The reveal of the item comes as The Legend of Zelda franchise is still one of the most popular video game series today. Since its inception, there have been a number of collectibles that have been put on sale.
These include the Zelda Figma action figures that were produced by Good Smile which allow fans to recreate scenes and poses from the games. This is because the items themselves have a high level of articulation, according to GameRant.
