I love pretty much everything about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but…I’m not sure I love this. The enterprising nerds a ThinkGeek have unveiled an officially-licensed Breath of the Wild shield backpack, and I’ll give it to them, it’s definitely nicely detailed! A quality piece of merch! That said, anybody who leaves the house with this on might have to use it for real, because literally everybody will want to punch them.

Here’s ThinkGeek’s official rundown of the shield:
Cram all your books into this backpack modeled after the Traveler’s Shield from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to protect them. It has a padded back and straps (to protect you), and a double zippered closure so you can get to your stuff quick. Because we’ve heard it’s dangerous to go alone.
A sturdy shield loved by many an adventurer, this Breath of the Wild Shield Backpack will shield your important stuff from the real world. As an added bonus you can’t get in game, its bright blue features a print of the Sheikah’s Eye Symbol and a padded laptop/tablet sleeve. It’s best suited to helping you carry stuff, not so much defending against weak monsters or animals. Oh, and don’t actually use it for shield surfing.
