Take a Look at This Impressive Homemade Ancient Shield from Breath of the Wild
Posted on December 29 2021 by Alexis S. Anderson
Maker Gyro is a whiz with 3D printing builds, and earlier this month he created a working replica of the Ancient Shield from Breath of the Wild. His video details the process of making the CAD files, putting the whole project together, testing its real-world functionality, and promptly breaking it! Despite breaking– as shields in Breath of the Wild are wont to do– it lights up, expands, and does an unexpectedly good job of protecting one from mild bashings, projectiles, and even incoming bananas. Check out the impressive project here.
If you would like to make an Ancient Shield of your own, Gyro’s CAD files for the 3D printed materials can be found here. Additionally, he has shirts for sale that show off the moving pieces used in this project in a blueprint-style design. You can also check out his other videos of some more pragmatic items like a custom remote, phone charger, and DIY solar lamp.
What do you think of this intricate build? Are there any other Zelda weapons or items you would like to see Gyro recreate? Let us know in the comments!
