Master Sword Size Problems

I know I may be the only person that has noticed this, but if the Master Sword is slightly big for the Twilight Princess Link, how on earth does it fit the Wind Waker Link?

I chalk it up to styling issues, more or less.
Looking at a Wind Waker screenshot, the sword does look a bit too big for Link.

For some reason Nintendo can't get the Master Sword size right, like in OoT it is way too small.

My friend says it too much: The master sword is spam (i wanna argue against him...)

I say that either 2 things may happen to make it bigger:
either the mater sword has been gathering minerals in those rocks
or
there are different master swords.

dont be too literal. (was that the right word?)

You guys, don't think too hard on it.

The Master Sword looks awesome in Twilight Princess already. So just be happy that it looks realistic as it is.

I didn't mean to say the Master Sword looked bad; I just wanted to know why it constantly shrinks and gets bigger.

Simply put, it's styling.

The Sword changes to fit the style of the game.

Because, like absolutely literally everything else in the Zelda universe, it is redesigned with moderate consideration to the original with every new Zelda game.

Well, Nintendo has been changing the style of the Zelda games from the classic 3D Ocarina of Time to Japanese cartoon style of Windwaker to the mature, and more realistic style of Twilight Princess. So Nintendo has to make the Master Sword fit into those types of style and genre.

That means having to change the size and shape of the Master Sword if needed.

They're doing this to make the fans feel like its the Zelda they've been playing for 20 years and so on.

It looks like some of the members in this thread already made my point...

I know. Physics in video games just don't make much sense anymore. . .

Oh wait. They don't need to. They're a virtual form of media.

hmm... maybe there are diferent master swords?

Each incarnation of the Master Sword is one and the same. As people have said, the style of the sword is tweaked to fit the general style of the game. If every game was made with the exact same style, the Master Sword would likely remain the same, too.

It's retconning by Nintendo...as already pointed out, the Ocarina of Time Child Link has some manipulation issues with it, but the sword's been downsized to fit The Wind Waker Child Link perfectly, even one-handed.

Like the Hyrule map itself, even the Master Sword changes configuration at the game designers' whim to fit the specific needs of whatever story is being told at that moment.

Does it matter?

I mean, it always manages to find some vital organ of Ganondorf & pierce it.

Also, don't you think it's good to have a big sword. Like, what would u rather have: a butter knife or a breadcutter?

As for Wind Waker, I didn't spot anything unusual about the size of the Mastersword...

Zephyr II

Mostly it's only noticeable in relation to its size in Ocarina and Twilight Princess, with Child Link having to grunt and flex and sweat a bit in order to heft the thing after pulling it from the pedastal.

The Wind Waker Link has no such issues, and the blade appears almost custom-fitted for someone his size.
