Very good, is this cut? Though I'm no fan of cutting, it was used widely here if it was used at all. Better lighting next time?

Really nice, too bad the new blade piece is that short, though.

This is the piece he used, therefore it is not a custom. Neat little idea again boses.

Tis a neat idea... I never would have thought of using pieces to make a sword. :D

Wonderful representation of a classic Nintendo Weapon! Now, if you could make Link's other equipment... :D

Very nice sword, good use of the lightsaber hilt. Where is the new blade piece from? I haven't seen it before.

Nice. Shame about the length and shape of the blade (as far as the Master Sword goes, anyway) but the handle idea is ace.
...and that's how Equestria was made!

It would be quite interesting to see what it looks like in the hands of a minifig.

Also, how stable is it? Is it strong or does it fall apart at the slightest touch.

Neat. Is this intended to remind us of the Arthurian legend of Excalibur? That is certainly what I thought of, as your stand is stone colored.

Here's a video to go along with your creation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0XCxr3Wgok (only 7.5 minutes, well worth it)

Yes, same here! I like that feel of swords anyways. And what sets is the blade in?

The Master Sword is usually found in a pedestal. It always is in fact.
