What Is the Decayed Master Sword Statue and Why Is It Exciting Fans?
Legend of Zelda enthusiasts are buzzing after collectible maker First 4 Figures revealed plans for a life-size statue of the Decayed Master Sword, an emblematic version of Link’s legendary weapon from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that bears the effects of Gloom.
This variant of the Master Sword — a weapon traditionally known in the series as the Blade of Evil’s Bane, capable of repelling darkness — became a standout image in Nintendo’s 2023 blockbuster Tears of the Kingdom. In the game, Link’s iconic blade is shattered when Hyrule is overrun by a creeping poison called Gloom, and the decayed form has since symbolized the story’s high stakes and mystical lore.
When Can Fans Pre-Order and What to Expect?
Pre-orders for the Decayed Master Sword life-size statue are set to open on December 18, 2025 — giving collectors and Zelda aficionados a precise date to mark on their calendars.
So far, First 4 Figures has teased the sword’s silhouette and elements of its design, emphasizing that this statue will stand at life size and offer incredible detail faithful to the in-game look.
Though pricing information has not yet been released, early announcements indicate that fans can sign up for First 4 Figures’ email list to receive a $10 discount when the pre-order becomes available — a small bonus for a potentially premium collectible.
How Is the Statue Designed?
According to insider details from teased reveals and community reporting, the life-size Decayed Master Sword statue will feature:
- A metal handle for authenticity and durability.
- A blade made from ABS plastic, chosen for strength and long-term display potential.
- A resin base suggesting Gloom’s spreading dark energy, capturing the corrupted aesthetic from Tears of the Kingdom.
These design choices reflect both the original game’s visual storytelling and First 4 Figures’ reputation for high-quality, large-scale collectibles.
