The Courage & Wisdom Blade Vault: Size, Weight and Price of Every Piece

BlacksmithSONG's Legend of Zelda lineup is 29 die-cast zinc alloy weapon replicas — eleven swords, five shields, five bows, four polearms, three boomerangs and one sledgehammer — measuring 7–29 cm (2.8–11.4 in), weighing 41–183 g (1.4–6.5 oz) and priced at $19.99, with the Master Sword and Hylian Shield at $29.99.

They're fan-made, unofficial desk collectibles from our two-person studio: blunt-edged, recommended for ages 14+, and sized for a shelf or a monitor stand, not for swinging. The Master Sword runs 28 cm (11.0 in) — about the height of a sheet of US letter paper held upright — and the smallest piece, the Traveler's Shield, is 7 cm (2.8 in), shorter than a credit card is long. Every piece lives in the Courage & Wisdom Blade Vault, and this page is the side-by-side: what each one measures, what it weighs, what it costs and which to pick first.

Here's the stat that surprises people. The Hylian Shield is only 12 cm (4.7 in) across and weighs 177 g (6.2 oz) — 14.8 g for every centimeter, more than double the Master Sword's 6.5 g per centimeter. That puts it within 6 g (0.2 oz) of the Master Sword's weight in less than half the length.

What Does the Whole Lineup Look Like at a Glance?

Add up every listed weight and the lineup comes to 2,324 g (5.1 lb) — the piece-by-piece weigh-in has the receipts.

Sizes cluster tighter than you'd expect. The five shields run 7–12 cm (2.8–4.7 in), palm-sized. Nine pieces — the boomerangs, bows and sledgehammer — land at 14–18 cm (5.5–7.1 in), roughly a phone to a paperback. Twelve pieces, nine swords and three polearms, sit inside a single centimeter: 20.5–21.5 cm (8.1–8.5 in), about the short side of a letter-size page. Only three break 25 cm (9.8 in): the Windcleaver at 26 cm (10.2 in), the Master Sword at 28 cm (11.0 in) and the Lightscale Trident at 29 cm (11.4 in), just shy of a 12-inch ruler.

Which Zelda Sword Replicas Can You Get?

Eleven blades, sorted heaviest first — because that's the order your hand would put them in.

The Master Sword is the flagship: 28 cm (11.0 in), 183 g (6.5 oz) and the heaviest piece in the lineup, one of only two priced at $29.99. Six of the blades share a 21 cm (8.3 in) length and still range from 106 g (3.7 oz) down to 54 g (1.9 oz), so the Goddess Sword weighs nearly double the Edge of Duality at the same size. If you want the most metal at the standard price, Biggoron's Sword is the heavyweight: 137 g (4.8 oz) in 20.5 cm (8.1 in).

The Windcleaver is the odd one out. At 26 cm (10.2 in) it's the third-longest piece in the lineup, yet at 49 g (1.7 oz) it's the lightest of the eleven swords: its blade is die-cast zinc alloy, but its scabbard is ABS plastic, which is part of the reason.

Ten of the eleven also sit on the Metal Sword Replicas shelf; the Windcleaver lives with the Anime & Game Katana Replicas. For the lore side, every named sword in the series, ranked does the ranking, and the Master Sword size comparison shows what 28 cm (11.0 in) actually gets you.

How Do the Five Shields Compare?

A shield this small shouldn't weigh this much. The Traveler's Shield is 7 cm (2.8 in) and 50 g (1.8 oz) — about what the 26 cm (10.2 in) Windcleaver weighs — and each of the five is one flat casting, front to back. Behind the Hylian Shield's 14.8 g per centimeter, the runner-up on density is the Silver Shield at 9.3 g per centimeter: 84 g (3.0 oz) in 9 cm (3.5 in).

All five sit on the Game Shield Replicas shelf, and the two smallest, the Traveler's Shield and Silver Shield, also live on the Mini Metal Replicas Under 9 cm shelf.

Which Bows Are in the Lineup, and Do They Draw?

Five bows, 15–18 cm (5.9–7.1 in) long and 41–80 g (1.4–2.8 oz). Each one comes with its arrow, and none of them draws or fires. The Bow of Light leads at 80 g (2.8 oz) in 15 cm (5.9 in); the Traveler's Bow, at 41 g (1.4 oz), is the lightest piece in the entire lineup.

One naming note: the Dragonbone Savage War Bow is the name on its product page, and the same piece appears in our spec sheet as the Dragon Bone Boko Bow — search for either one. All five bows sit on the Game Bow Replicas shelf.

What Polearms Does the Lineup Include?

The Lightscale Trident is the longest piece in the lineup at 29 cm (11.4 in) yet weighs just 75 g (2.6 oz), a gram less than the Savage Lynel Spear, the heaviest of the four at 76 g (2.7 oz). The Royal Guard's Spear and Royal Halberd are twins on paper — 21.5 cm (8.5 in) and 43 g (1.5 oz) each — and the two lightest polearms in the lineup.

The two spears sit on the Metal Spear Replicas shelf, the halberd on Metal Halberd Replicas and the trident on Metal Trident Replicas.

That halberd shelf isn't a Zelda-only address, either — **the Three Kingdoms Armory** keeps Lü Bu's own halberd there too, alongside Guan Yu's glaive.

What About the Boomerangs and the Sledgehammer?

The Iron Sledgehammer is the fourth-heaviest piece of all 29: 113 g (4.0 oz) in 17.5 cm (6.9 in). The Boomerang and the Sea-Breeze Boomerang both weigh 66 g (2.3 oz), but one is 16.5 cm (6.5 in) and the other 14 cm (5.5 in), so the smaller one is the denser piece; the Giant Boomerang stretches to 17 cm (6.7 in) at a lighter 51 g (1.8 oz). Nothing here folds or hinges — each boomerang is a single solid casting.

The boomerangs sit on Exotic Weapon Replicas and the sledgehammer on Metal Hammer Replicas.

Which Zelda Replica Should You Start With?

For the icon, start with the Master Sword: 28 cm (11.0 in), 183 g (6.5 oz), $29.99. Add the Hylian Shield and the pair costs $59.98 before stands and puts 360 g (12.7 oz) of metal on the shelf.

For the most metal at $19.99, pick Biggoron's Sword at 137 g (4.8 oz). For the most reach at $19.99, the Lightscale Trident gives you 29 cm (11.4 in). For a matched shelf, the four Royal Guard's pieces — sword, claymore, shield and spear — come to $79.96 together, and the Royal Broadsword, Royal Shield and Royal Halberd come to $59.97, both before stands. Everything except the Master Sword and Hylian Shield is $19.99, which makes the rest an easy first gift.

Still deciding? Five sword-and-shield combos worth displaying pairs them up for you, and our Zelda gift guide sorts the lineup by who you're buying for.

Do the Replicas Come With Display Stands?

No. Every piece ships as the bare replica in a foam-lined gift box, and stands are optional add-ons at $2 to $5 depending on the piece and the style (small, large or vertical). Not every piece is offered in every style: the Hylian Shield comes only with a large or vertical stand, the Traveler's Shield only with a small one, and the Fierce Deity Sword adds a triangular platform at +$5.

For layouts, our desk-setup and display guide covers where each size looks right, and which replicas survive a busy desk covers durability.

Where Do the Pieces Fall by Size?

These size shelves also hold pieces from other games; the counts below are just the Legend of Zelda pieces on each one.

What Are These Replicas, and What Aren't They?

BlacksmithSONG is an independent two-person studio photographing die-cast zinc alloy weapon collectibles inside miniature dioramas we model, 3D-print and hand-paint ourselves — more on us on the about page. Every photo on a product page is the real piece in a set built for that piece, with no CGI and no renders.

What you get is a display collectible, not a prop weapon. Edges are cast blunt, the pieces are recommended for ages 14+, and nothing draws, folds, hinges, glows or fires — the bows are static, the boomerangs are solid and every shield is one flat casting. One material exception: the Windcleaver's blade is zinc alloy, but its scabbard is ABS plastic. And these are fan-made, unofficial pieces, not affiliated with, endorsed by or licensed by Nintendo.

Are these official Nintendo products?

No. They're unofficial fan-art collectibles from a two-person studio, not affiliated with, endorsed by or licensed by Nintendo or any other game, anime or film company.

Are the blades sharp, and can you swing them?

No — every edge is cast blunt, and each piece is a display collectible for ages 14+, not a functional weapon. Nothing draws, hinges, glows or fires.

How does shipping work?

Free worldwide shipping with tracking, a foam-lined gift box, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Delivery times are on our shipping page. Payment options are shown at checkout.

That's the whole armory on one page. Browse every piece in the Courage & Wisdom Blade Vault — and when a new piece joins the lineup, this is where its size and weight will show up first.

The Iron Sledgehammer isn't the only skull-free maul in the shop, either — the Outlands Heirloom Vault carries Caustic's own skull-topped hammer from Apex Legends, on a shelf where nothing else looks like it either.
