Zelda Shield

this looks to be perfect. gotta have one. still perfect look and coverage to flip upside down for two handedness. gotta go get my debit card. be right back.

My son had the Master Sword already, so I got him this for his birthday. He was pleasantly surprised, as was I. It is well constructed and painted. I wouldn't use it to fight against dragons, but it'll be nice to hang on the wall or use for cosplay. I didn't like the Velcro straps, so I bought a child's leather belt he can cut down to size. I think it will look nice and stay attached better. At the same time, I bought him the Toothpick crossbow and a the Kojiro Golden Dragon Katana and scabbard. The crossbow is a whimsical little item that he's already used to kill a disposable cup. The katana is beautifully made and "almost afraid to touch it" sharp. All items arrived intact and shipped very quickly. Thanks, BudK

a nice shield only problem was the paint was chipped and the yellow of the triforce has silver painted on it.

The shield is just great every thing the picture shows but my only problem is the chain. The chain broke the second i lifted the shield up by it but other than the chain it is worth every penny if your a major nerd like me.

I could not be happier, i waited 4 days (no mail on Sunday ___) and it just arrived. this is for a photo shoot of Link I am doing, and this shield is PERFECT. If you've ever been a fan of the LoZ Series, my advice is to buy this shield immediately!

totally awesome, i read a few reviews while waiting for mine to arrive, and i must say the smell is noteworthy, but goes away rather quickly. my velcro straps had an error in the sewing as i believe was mentioned in a review as well,but i undid it and fixed it and sewed it back up. i am going to have to remove the brackets for the strap and handle and switch them for i am left handed but this will be easily done with the help of some strong glue, gorilla glue is on my mind... absolutely worth every penny, it is jaw dropping to look at.

The reason its left handed is because of a) twilight princess he wore it on the left B) ALOT of righties

I was surprised by the size and weight of the shield, minor nicks and scratches in shipping but still a 5 outa 5

An amazing replica of the shield from the game. I pulled this out of the box, and at at that moment my friends were offering me money for it. But I still said GTFO! Looks amazing on my wall, along with the sword they also sell here. I just wish it were made out of metal! Overall 5/5, BUY IT!

Looks good the arm strap and handle are annoying to put in but it hangs on the wall anyway have master sword to go with it together they look good. Doesn't have a steel look I was hoping for but I like it.

Overall this shield is an amazing piece of work, nice paint and a good solid feel to it's construction. I got this for my sister's boyfriend as a Christmas gift but unfortunately the packing it came in was trashed. I had to open up the actual package to make sure everything was okay with the shield. Took me a while to find a piece of the handle because it had fallen out of the shield's box and into the packaging without me noticing. Overall this is a great piece for any Link or Legend of Zelda fan, and I am hoping that the absolutely terrible state of the package was from the postal worker not from someone at Budk cause I love you guys.

The shield looks pretty much as pictured, about 2ft in height and about 16in wide. The passing job is just above okay, might need some touching up. It smells terrible, mine smelt like hydrogen peroxide. <br /><br />It was tough getting the handle in, had to unscrew the parts to put the handle in. I can't get the strap to stay, it always falls out (just hooks holding it in place basically), I'll have to try and fix that somehow.<br /><br />Overall, it's a nice shield with a few small imperfections.<br /><br />See mine on instagram, look me up: Leo_Ascendent

handles are a bit cheap but shield itself is pretty sturdy. good size too

It is not quite as rounded as it looks in the picture, but the paint job on mine is fairly well done (a few bubbles and chips, but what can you expect?), and the construction is solid. The thing that bothers me about it is the hardware and fittings on the back. They are screwed on tightly, but still seem slapped-on and I worry about them breaking when I use it. The metal grates that the arm strap hooks into are soft metal and soon bent from the weight of the shield, but look like they could be replaced by someone industrious. Plan on replacing the provided velcro arm strap if you're buying it for costume use. Oh, and it smells strongly of fiberglass and paint, but that will fade. Overall, accurate OoT Hylian Shield that will make any fan-boy (or in my case, fan-girl) squeal with delight.

Smells Bad! but the makes me feel like a five year old again!

Well, I must say that I was imprerssed by how quickly it came obviously. Because I'm making a Link costume, the shield is pivital. The paintjob on it is good though there are a few imperfections. The size is perfect and I though it would weigh more (from my previous fiberglass experience). My only gripe is that I wish it was able to be born on the right arm and not the left, but I guess I can let accuracy on arm placement slide.

It came really quickly actually. Shield is solid, painted well. It smelled like soap or something though which was kinda weird and it was also very dusty. My only qualm besides those is that it's inaccurate... the handle is on the right side of the shield so it has to be worn on the left hand. Link was a lefty though, and therefore kept his shield on his right hand. It's nice and really big too. The design isn't perfect, but it's the closest thing I've seen and it's pretty nice.
