Amazing Replicas of Legendary Zelda Items Available on Etsy
Posted on October 18 2023 by Kristen G. Rosario
Whether it is something as grand as the Triforce itself or something as simple as a Deku Nut, there’s always going to be an item from the Zelda series that you would want in your collection. Thankfully, there exist skilled craftspeople who are just as much fans as the rest of us and can help us pursue that dream. One such talent comes from the grand world known as Etsy, creating some legendary items from the Zelda series and making them available for purchase.
These said items are provided by Austin Dowdy of Astoria Workshop, an Etsy seller well-known for their skills in creating some truly impressive replicas from your favorite franchise. For example, they have unique versions of the Master Sword, with each one based off of a certain Zelda title. The multiple designs are inspired by games like Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom.
Astoria Workshop also has a Dark Link-style replica, a limited-edition variant that actually changes color, and even a rusty Malice version. These Master Sword replicas alone will cost you somewhere between $295 to $350 USD, depending on which variation you purchase, and depending on if you want it with the Hylian sheath or not.
It doesn’t end there though. If you want to properly display that newly purchased Master Sword, Astoria Workshop also has a Pedestal of Time replica, which includes bluetooth light-up versions. They even have the Trial of the Sword Display Pedestal from Breath of the Wild available. The re-creations of these pedestals will cost you around $175 to $285 USD.
If you’re not looking to own a legendary weapon from the franchise, Astoria Workshop does have a few other Zelda items available. For instance, Dowdy has replicas of the Hyrule Castle flag ($85 USD), a re-creation of the Silent Princess flowers (between $27 to $65 USD) and, if you want to own the main hero himself, a 20 inch-tall statue of Link ($250 USD).
Dowdy has been designing all matter of items for over 10 years just to give themselves a challenge. These include clothes, props, trinkets, and even some cosplay items. It wasn’t until a bit later in their life that Dowdy decided to craft items for other people as well. While this crafting expert primarily focuses on replicating props from Zelda and Star Wars, they also occasionally tackle other pop culture prospects.
You can follow Astoria Workshop on the socials, such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Make sure to also check out the gallery below for a closer look at their work.
