New 'Zelda' Hylian Shield Backpack and a Master Sword Umbrella Are the Perfect Combo

You may have heard that it's dangerous to go alone, which is why you should always carry as much stuff with you as possible. This new The Legend of Zelda hard-shell Hylian shield backpack can help you with that. As you will soon see, it even has a sheath that might prove very useful.

Now, there have been many Hylian shield backpacks in the past, but what makes this version different is the fancy hard-shell and the sheath. The idea is that you can place a companion Master Sword replica into the sheath to complete the look. The new Hylian shield backpack is available now and the replica Master Sword is coming soon. However, before you decide do purchase these items for cosplay, college, or what have you, there is something you should consider. This backpack might be the perfect companion to the incredibly popular Master Sword umbrella.

Unfortunately I'm not 100% sure if the Master Sword umbrella will fit properly in the backpack sheath when it's not in its own scabbard. If it did, how fantastic would that be? You could just reach back and whip the umbrella sword out from the shield at the first sign of rain. It would actually make the sheath practical without sacrificing the fun. Even if I didn't fit perfectly, I'm guessing that you could still make it work. The Master Sword umbrella does have a strap so you can wear it on your back after all.

If you're interested in getting the Master Sword umbrella, it can be pre-ordered here for shipment sometime in early 2018. Apparently, quantities are very limited so don't wait too long on it. Continue on to the gallery below to take a closer look at the new Hylian shield backpack from ThinkGeek.
