The Zelda Armory: All 29 Metal Weapon Replicas We Forge, Compared
We forge 29 fan-made Legend of Zelda weapon replicas in die-cast zinc alloy at 1:6 scale — 11 swords, 5 shields, 5 bows, 4 polearms, 3 boomerangs, and one stubborn sledgehammer, every piece between 7 and 29cm (2.8–11.4"), every photo shot inside a handcrafted miniature set.
Here's the stat that surprises people: the densest piece isn't the Master Sword. It's the 12cm Hylian Shield, which packs 177g (6.2 oz) into a palm's width of metal — nearly 15 grams per centimeter. All 29 replicas together weigh 2,324g (5.1 lb), weighed one by one on our workshop scale in 2026. This page is the armory's master index: every stat in one table, and a link to the full forging story behind each blade, bow, and shield.

Which Zelda Sword Replica Should You Start With?
Start where Hyrule starts: the Master Sword replica is the icon — 28cm and 183g, the heaviest single cast in the armory and the only piece priced at $29.99 instead of $19.99. If you want two-handed heft, Biggoron's Sword carries 137g of Ocarina-era giant-forging in a 20.5cm frame. The sleeper pick is the Windcleaver: at 26cm it's our second-longest piece, yet at 49g one of the lightest — the Yiga blademasters apparently believe in cardio. And if you like a matched shelf, the Royal and Royal Guard's lines give you four 21cm-class blades in two consistent design languages.
Is the Hylian Shield Really Our Densest Cast?
Yes — and it isn't close. 177g across 12cm makes the Hylian Shield replica heavier than swords twice its length; hand it to a friend and watch them recalibrate. The Silver Shield's Zora silverwork is the surprise runner-up — 84g at just 9cm — while the Traveler's Shield is the smallest object we make at 7cm, a shield for your palm. The Royal Guard's Shield rounds out the case as the dark-set piece that photographs like it's guarding something.
What About the Bows, Polearms, and That Sledgehammer?
The Lightscale Trident is the longest piece in the entire armory at 29cm and wears it lightly at 75g — Mipha's grace apparently extends to zinc. Among the bows, the Bow of Light is the dense one (80g at 15cm) while the Traveler's Bow is the featherweight of all 29 at 41g. The twin 43g polearms — Royal Halberd and Royal Guard's Spear — are the lightest long weapons we cast. The boomerang trio covers three very different curves, and the Iron Sledgehammer is 113g of blunt honesty: the fourth-heaviest piece in the armory, with zero edges to its name.

The Honest Corner
Everything here is a 1:6 scale display collectible: cast-blunt edges, recommended for ages 14+, built for shelves and photo sets, not for swinging. Nothing glows, fires, or scales with hearts. BlacksmithSONG is a two-person independent studio; these are fan-made, unofficial pieces, not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo. What you get is solid zinc alloy, hand-finished paint, and photography of the actual product inside sets we built by hand — no CGI, no renders, ever.
