The 200 AUD I paid for the Hylian Shield is equivalent to 175 USD if I did the math right.

The shield is actually real metal and would protect me from a knife slash if I used it to defend myself. It's heavy to lug around too.

Next year, I'm gonna partake in the cosplay and go as Lelouch / Zero from Code Geass. For those who don't know, its an anime about how the Holy Empire of Britannia took over Japan using extremely powerful weapons known as Knightmares (something like a skating transformer).

Lelouch gets possessed by a woman and acquires an ability called the Geass, where his right eye turns red and if he looks at someone he can make them do whatever he wants them to - except it only works once on each person.
