You'd have a point if this sword had a winged crossguard, was called two names reminiscent of Zelda swords, was held up in the air like Link does it with every item (something your hunter btw. also does after mining the giant Pokke sword), etc.

Nintendo fanboys can be annoying when they try to claim Nintendo invented everything under the sun but OP's example seems pretty blatant with it being called Master Blade and the winged hilt. Not like OP is claiming every time someone raises a sword out of a stone that it's a Zelda reference.

Tangentially related to this thread since everyone is talking about Excalibur. A lot of games have a sword called Excalibur but the funniest variation I've seen of it is in Aria of Sorrow where you just swing the sword with the rock still attached.

What 100% gives it away that it's a Zelda reference is the name and the guard in COMBINATION with the Excalibur stuff. You can't find any other example besides Zelda
