Master Sword (The Legend of Zelda Fan Art)
When evil engulfs the land completely and all hope is nearly lost, a hero will come. Only he will be able to claim this mighty blade.
This is the Blade of Evil’s Bane, more commonly know as Master Sword, a sword that appears often in The Legend of Zelda. With each game the design of the sword has changed, sometimes a tiny bit, sometimes drastically to fit the various art styles of the franchise throughout the years.
My model is roughly based on the Twilight Princess iteration.
I tested baking separate pieces a couple of times (especially the handguard), to get shapes that look good while trying to stay true to the references. Also quite happy with the triangle count which is 5.114.
