Local Hero Jailed for Saving Warwickshire from Monsters

In what might be the most bizarre headline we’ve written, a brave citizen in Warwickshire, UK, has been jailed for attempting to save his town from foes with none other than Link’s legendary Master Sword.

That’s right—Anthony Bray of Nuneaton was sentenced to four months in prison for "possession of a bladed article in public," according to Warwickshire police.

Bray, clearly channeling his inner hero from The Legend of Zelda, took to the streets of Nuneaton, wielding the fabled blade. His claim? The Master Sword was merely a fidget toy. Unfortunately, the police, who apparently missed the memo on Hyrulian lore, weren’t convinced. They pointed out that despite its role in defeating evildoers, the six-inch blade could, shockingly, be seen as a weapon.

Now, in most sane corners of the world, this coveted sword earns a nod of approval. But in the UK, home to some of the most stringent weapon laws, even Link himself wouldn’t stand a chance. In an attempt to steal our hero of his legendary sword, Bray’s attempt to cosplay as Hyrule’s savior was thwarted by the law, landing him a four-month sentence and a victims' surcharge of £154 (about $200).

You may be asking, why is carrying a Master Sword such a big deal?

The West Midlands, which includes Nuneaton, boasts the highest knife crime rate in England and Wales. This might explain why the police got their tunics in a twist over a man brandishing a blade, even if it was destined to seal the darkness and save princesses.

The police, seemingly more miffed about Bray’s blatant heroism than the blade itself, commented, "Grah gra gra grah grah grah grah errghah!!" said Sergeant Spellman. We couldn't quite make out that last part.

Now, if you're a fan of the Master Sword but fear sharing Bray’s fate, fear not! At Kokoro Katana, we’ve got the perfect solution. Behold, the Master Sword Ultimate Bundle!
