Sakurai Guides Zelda Cosplayer on Master Sword Mishap

Zelda fans have discovered that Link's iconic sword unsheathing animation is unrealistic, as demonstrated by a cosplayer's failed attempt to replicate it. Even Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai acknowledged the issue, revealing a slight tweak made in the game to make the animation more believable. Despite these efforts, the animation still involves the sword clipping through the scabbard, a detail now more noticeable to fans. Sakurai also hinted at a new game in development, to be announced soon.
