Master Sword (The Legend of Zelda)

When evil engulfs the land completely and all hope is nearly lost, a hero will come. Only he will be able to claim this mighty blade.

This is the Blade of Evil's Bane, more commonly know as Master Sword, a sword that appears often in The Legend of Zelda games. With each game the design of the sword has changed, sometimes a tiny bit, sometimes drastically to fit the various art styles of the series throughout the years.

For this model, I tested baking separate pieces a couple of times (especially the handguard), to get shapes that look good while trying to stay true to the references. I'm also quite happy with the triangle count which is 5.114.
