How to Make A Wooden Hylian Shield
Posted on May 25 2015 by Jon Lett
In the past, we have covered creations by YouTube woodworker HappyAtom, as he makes some very cool and simple wooden Zelda creations, but now he is tackling something a bit more chalenging: Skyward Sword‘s Hylian Shield. He has thus far released the first part of the building process, and says that the second part will be out soon, so hit the jump to see the first video on making your own version of Link’s famous shield!
As HappyAtom has written out at the start of the video, always be safe when working with wood, hand tools, and power tools. As a woodworker myself, nothing ever seems as important as safety glasses and proper safety techniques. That being said, these steps Happy has taken show that even something as seemingly detailed as the Hylian Shield is actually decently simple to make. Wood is quite the versatile material, and there is a lot of room to make mistakes and learn if you are just learning to make your own crafts like this.
Did you enjoy the video? Will you try making your own shield, or another one of Happy’s crafts? Drop a comment below!
