    I've had the same Master Sword for a couple of years, and mine too has "Made in Pakistan" written right on it. I love it.

    @LicouriceXLazarus: Actually, the sunlight coming through my window and reflecting from the various blades and armor I've collected over the years gives it a really nice effect. In fact the only disappointment I've ever had when it's come to these weapons was when I realized the Master Sword won't shoot sword lasers when I'm at full health.


    Sarcasm aside, what would you rather have us do? Hang up a bunch of worthless paper posters? Confine our hobby only to the television screen? No, I'll pass on that- I like swords. I like video games. Such a combination is perfect for me, and I'm not ashamed to show that to anyone who ever sees my room. The only stigmas to being a gamer now are the ones we put upon ourselves through our actions, or likewise, inaction.


    And because of those people who get divorced 'cause of WoW. I mean, c'mon, even I have limits.

    @Aerokii: Really? they shoot lazers when i use it? either you're master sword is fake, or you're not as healthy as you say you are?

    @LicouriceXLazarus: Are you kidding?


    When I read the story a while ago about Square-Enix's lawsuit against these people, I had little sympathy for the makers of replica weapons.


    Now that I've read this great feature, I love these awesome nerds.

    The Buster sword really falls short. The daggertail reminds me more of Ivy's whip-sword in it's released state.

    I would pay a lot of gil for that cloud sword. A lot.


    Good thing I didn't know proper replicas like those existed back when I was a kid. Some brats in my neighborhood would need a phoenix down and a lot of rest.
