Masahiro Sakurai Guides Cosplayer on Authentic Sword Unsheathing

The Super Smash Bros. creator offers practical advice to a cosplayer struggling with Link's iconic sword maneuver.

Japanese cosplayer Sakigake faced challenges recreating Link's sword unsheathing from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Masahiro Sakurai, known for his attention to detail in Super Smash Bros., noticed the issue and shared a solution.
Sakurai explained that in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Link uses his other hand to lower the scabbard, making the action more realistic.
The animation tweak was an attempt to address the unrealistic nature of the sword maneuver depicted in previous Zelda games.
Sakigake expressed gratitude to Sakurai and plans to incorporate the advice in future cosplay attempts.
