Going to be a bit of a nerd here, but swords like that historically were worn on the side not the back because of this reason. Most blades couldnt be unsheathed from the back. I honestly have no idea how this became a sword trope though.
@@vvitch-mist20 But he's a well trained knight in Hyrule and worked as the Princess' personal guard. Link messing that up would actually be out of character. In botw it showed how much he trained in his free time
YES! I cosplay Link pretty often, and I’ve always designed my scabbard to fold open at the top on elastic to allow my sword room to be drawn. Before that, I would always have to drop everything just to pull out my sword!
As someone who cosplays another character, Ciri, from the game The Witcher which was also shown in this clip, I’m jealous. Where my sword is actual steel it's impossible for me to draw my sword while it is positioned like it is in the games. Keep being creative, and I wish you happy cosplaying!
Split scabbard. Split the top side of the scabbard along only enough length for the blade to clear. Can't be easily seen and allows it to be carried on your back and properly drawn/sheathed with one hand. For extra security, put a few magnets at the top of the sheathe with complimentary ones in the cross guard. This will allow you to move with a fair amount of vigour and not have the sword come loose, but not so strong that it will prevent a draw. Form and function.
i remember shadiversity making a scabbard specifically for back draw; it was split at the top so you can tilt the tip of the sword out when you draw, but his also had a guide boars of sorts at the top so you could also get the sword back in blindly, iirc
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why back-scabbards historically weren't used in combat. Transport, sure, carrying your sword like a backpack is just easier, but to draw and fight? Belt scabbard.
Wearing a sword on your back was actually very rare historically. There are ways to do it, though. The best one I remember seeing was on a some medieval LARPing channel a few years ago, where they made a back scabbard with a slit on the side near the opening. It was too thin a gap for the thicker base of the blade near the hilt to slip through, ensuring that the sword was still secure when sheathed, but the thinner part near the tip could slide right through the space, making easier to unsheathe. They even added sort of a little built-in backboard to help guide the tip into the gap when putting the sword away.
I remember reading that wearing on your back was mainly done by either squires or when just traveling with a couple swords but not when intended to actually use it
@@AlwaysBolttheBird I knew this could never be done cause years ago I tried this same attempt with a katana sword and couldn’t ever be done. I knew this wasn’t realistic for years ! You would have to wear the scabbard or whatever it’s called lower behind your back closer to your lower back to be able to do it
No it wouldn't, your arm from the rear of your bicep to your palm is not longer than the majority of sword blades. Making it further down would not at all solve this issue because you would not be able to reach over your back far enough to make a difference. Even if you place the blade over your opposite shoulder and completely throw yourself off balance it wouldn't work because if the scabbard is rigid and unmoving on your back you won't be able to pull it out through the wood and if it is designed to rotate and move on your back that rotation will make it so that the effective distance the blade moves within the scabbard is less. You would either have to make a scabbard with some sort of cut in it that allows the blade to be rotated within the scabbard without having to pull the entirety of the blade from the scabbard.
@@gipsymelody1268If the scabbard rotates that means it is moving with the blade. If I pull the sword and it rotates such that the opening has shifted then the new point I'm drawing from is that point. Rotation is only significant if the blade can rotate within the scabbard, not if the scabbard itself rotates.
Actually having watched Marcus Vance and nate v's videos on back scabbards. I think the better solution would be to actually have it on the opposite shoulder

Warner bros and the shadow of series answered this with clever design. In shadow of mordor/war Talion's scabbard is actually opened up towards to end of it, allowing the tip of the sword to easily exit. Hard to explain in a comment, but I'd definitely look up its design. It's really cool.
Flaps or hinges, or are you talking about the slits, which are in some scabbards, allowing you to pull the sword up and out the side of the top for the tip.
in kirby squeak squad it's shown that Kirbys stomach is basically a pocket dimension so where he can either store things for later use or turn it into a star to spit back out as a projectile weapon he can also just disintegrate anything he eats if he wants
The cosplayer is also gaming it. They're holding the sword at the bottom of the grip to make sure it cant clear the scabbard. With how low the scabbard is down their back they probably could clear it if they held the sword properly.
i actually remember seeing a video addressing this in fiction, their solution was to have the scabbard have a side slit which was slightly raised from scabbard, i believe the channel is shadiversity if im remembering correctly, does a lot of very interesting medieval battle stuff

As someone with a mastersword. I found out that tilting the sword while pulling it out actually helps alot. If you tilt the sword while pulling it out you can get it fully out easily
It's funny that my 13 years old me solved that issue in one of my childhood OCs. I had one guy that had a sword, but the sheath actually had a hole on the upside, so the sword could pass through that hole and easily get out
They could have just explained that and make it realistic as a prank on difficult like give it before a boss fight and make us hand fight the boss with shield, bow, and boomerang until we beat him 🤣
Geralt in the books actually carries silver sword on his back and steel sword on his belt. If he is gonna use silver sword for monsters, he loosens up his chest belt to lower the scabbard down, and witchers are tall and skinny in the book, making it easier to pull out a sword.
In fact, long swords usually have a sheath cut off and a simple 5 or 10 cm long opening,(I don't mean that they actually put their procrastination on their backs, I just gave a possible solution.) So he can pull the sword out of its place, it's very simple.
In fact, no they don’t. Real long swords were never drawn from the back like this, it only happens in fantasy. The only time they would be worn on the back was for travel perhaps.
@zynthio I understand what you're saying honestly, but in reality there are swords that actually have openings on the sides like the big curved swords that need a opening to pull the whole sword out, I didn't mean that they were putting the swords on their backs Actually I said the idea they could do it and it would work, put a normal sword on your back and pull it out smoothly.
@@JohnPaul-lv8ys Your last words are true. There are no swords in reality that are placed behind the back. I just gave a simple solution. As for there being no sheath with an opening for the sword to come out of, you are wrong. I advise you to look for large curved sword sheaths.
There is a sword channel where they have a back mounted scabbard and address this problem. They have a slit on the sword wielding side. This allows a draw without having to clear the scabbard length. The downside is a specific draw style every time. I am sorry I don't remember the channel name. The host is a chubby British guy usually clad in ring mail and leather. He wears glasses and has a goatee. Good channel for historical and fantasy weapons.
@D3x5t4r yeh they have done some videos with each other but they had a falling out after shad became an AI "artist" and on a live stream he had a small argument with him jazza saying it takes no skill to make ai "art".
Kirby is hollow and anything inside him goes into Another Dimension, which is the unstable space between worlds. Because it is unstable, these enemies usually come right back.
@@Escavalier-c4x link was right handed when they put the games on the Wii, as most people are right handed. Twilight princess was the first game to have him right handed on the Wii, as the GameCube version he was still left handed. They just never changed it back to left.
This is why I've adopted Shadiversity's "Shabbard" into my fantasy designs - A practical backscabbard that allows the wearer go more easily draw and sheath a sword on their back.
I recently got a master sword replica and realized it was impossible too. Looked up on google if they even wore swords on their backs back then. Saw that no. They didn’t lol
@@JRiley187 the only people who wore swords on the back are the Celts surprisingly, because they used short swords and even then the only evidence we have they did is from little stone soldier statues found at a burial
@@JRiley187 The general rule of thumb is if your sword is longer than your arm, then it is physically impossible to back-draw it from a standard scabbard. Now, depending on how much longer the sword is than your arm, it IS possible to back-draw some swords that are longer than your arm if you bend over and draw them over your shoulder instead of straight up. But it's not recommended as it is highly impractical and most swords you would want to do this with are still too long even for this draw method. There's a reason Aragorn from Lord of The Rings kept Anduril's Scabbard attached to his horse's saddle. In that movie, you never saw Viggo with that sword on his back because it was too friggin' long. It was always either sheathed under the saddle or in his hand. From what I understand, swords were sheathed on the back, primarily, for traveling. Especially long-distance travelling. However, if there was a good chance that the swordsman was going to need his sword for defense, even travelling, it would either be worn on the hip or, like Aragorn, attached under the saddle of their horse. However, for populated traversal, as in through a town, you would do an Aragorn and either keep it stowed under your saddle or firmly in your hand. Why? Just because you can't draw your sword from your back doesn't someone else can't. The positioning of the sword on the back makes it relatively easy for someone to just walk up behind you and steal your sword if your scabbard doesn't have a locking mechanism to keep the sword in the scabbard which, let's be honest, most scabbards don't.
@@Grimsly3736 Not exactly. It was at least a thing in Japan too, with Nodachi. But if you were carrying a nodachi on your back you probably also had a katana or a wakazashi on your hip for quick-drawing
Isn’t there a RUclipsr that made a prototype sword that could be unsheathed from your back because it has like a slit in the side? I can’t remember his name though, but I thought it was cool.
My reaction watching this was "well editted, well researched, to the point, no blatant misunderstanding of the topic, who is this guy he seems kinda professional" Damn he was
In movies, when a sword is pulled from a back scabbard, they film it in multiple shots and then edit it to look seemless. Historically no one ever went into combat like that for this exact reason
This is because that is Masahiro Sakurai, and the man not only is he very obsessed with the details for his works, but he is able to respond to his fans however he wishes, because he is technically not a part of Nintendo, so they cannot chain him down with their problems and business practices.
As a fellow Link cosplayer. When you spin the sword around you have to flip it down the ricasso to hold it before sliding in. If the blade is weighted properly, it should swing in your hand handle up before the tip points into the scabbard.
I remember noticing the sword clipping through his sheath in twilight princess as a kid. That little detail of him pulling it down in ultimate is amazing though!
kirby is the incarnation of the chaos in the universe, he is a multiversal being capable of destroying monsters made of dark matter and survive attacks who destroy the reality
Fun fact canonically Kirby has infinite space inside him also the inside of his mouth is actually a very wholesome and comforting place as explained by the Kirby manga meaning anyone inside Kirby’s mouth is technically alive and in basicly comfort

Geralt in the books actually carries silver sword on his back and steel sword on his belt. If he is gonna use silver sword for monsters, he loosens up his chest belt to lower the scabbard down, and witchers are tall and skinny in the book, making it easier to pull out a sword.
In books Geralt stored one of his swords on his horse while wearing the other one
In games , mostly in witcher 3
U can see hes hands giving small push to make it easier to unsheathe and sheath
Still not enough at some points
@@陈凯文-n1h Yeah using Geralt as an example was quite poor since they have added the animation of him changing the angle of the scabbard.
In fact, long swords usually have a sheath cut off and a simple 5 or 10 cm long opening,(I don't mean that they actually put their procrastination on their backs, I just gave a possible solution.)
So he can pull the sword out of its place, it's very simple.
watch the first video that comes up when you search "drawing a sword from your back" lol
In fact, no they don’t. Real long swords were never drawn from the back like this, it only happens in fantasy. The only time they would be worn on the back was for travel perhaps.
@zynthio I understand what you're saying honestly, but in reality there are swords that actually have openings on the sides like the big curved swords that need a opening to pull the whole sword out, I didn't mean that they were putting the swords on their backs Actually I said the idea they could do it and it would work, put a normal sword on your back and pull it out smoothly.
@@DIABAN-DIAMAND there are no sword scabbards like that
@@JohnPaul-lv8ys Your last words are true. There are no swords in reality that are placed behind the back. I just gave a simple solution.
As for there being no sheath with an opening for the sword to come out of, you are wrong. I advise you to look for large curved sword sheaths.
There is a sword channel where they have a back mounted scabbard and address this problem. They have a slit on the sword wielding side. This allows a draw without having to clear the scabbard length. The downside is a specific draw style every time.
I am sorry I don't remember the channel name. The host is a chubby British guy usually clad in ring mail and leather. He wears glasses and has a goatee. Good channel for historical and fantasy weapons.
shadiversity is the channel name he's Australian and he's the brother of another RUclipsr called draw with jazza.
@@DOG-MEAT Thank you. Thats him alright.
@@DOG-MEAT no way, I've watched Jazza since he uploaded the dancing monkey about 10 years ago and I never know they're brothers
@D3x5t4r yeh they have done some videos with each other but they had a falling out after shad became an AI "artist" and on a live stream he had a small argument with him jazza saying it takes no skill to make ai "art".
SHABBARD
Idea make the sword and scabbard slightly smaller like an inch or two not enough to notice but just enough to make it possible to grab the sword
Thats why back scabbards were very rare
Yep that why most swordman wear the shealth around there belt instead of their back
Holy shit i never noticed the scabbard pull down, what a cool fcking detail
Kirby is hollow and anything inside him goes into Another Dimension, which is the unstable space between worlds. Because it is unstable, these enemies usually come right back.
Rare moments where Nintendo isn't trying to sue for the use of their ip
@@belikepraj how can u sue every cosplayer in this world lol
@@jessicaregina1956 it's supposed to be a joke

Kirby's space in his mouth is explained in the Kirby anime. His stomach is pretty much like a pocket universe
So he's just a living Bag of Holding?
Solving the problem is quite easy.
It is a fantasy game, this is how it is possible
Kirby can fit all that food in his mouth because he is in a constant state of doing his best and being a silly little guy. I hope this helps.
Shadiversity has gone into depth on how to make a back scabbard work. Interesting stuff.....💀
Kirby is obviously a sentient flying bag of holding
“This link cosplayer went viral because of one big issue”
He’s right handed?
People forget or never knew link was left handed.
Link was right handed in BOTW and TOTK
@@Escavalier-c4x link was right handed when they put the games on the Wii, as most people are right handed. Twilight princess was the first game to have him right handed on the Wii, as the GameCube version he was still left handed. They just never changed it back to left.
Shadiversity designed a whole back scabbard for longswords
@@Blazzes1001 That's right. He made a functional real life one
Sakurai is just the goat
Kirbys mouth is actually a pocket dimension
Then shortly after they sued the cosplayer into oblivion.
Shadiversity did a functional back scabbard and he had a slot about 2/3 of the way up that he could pull the sword sideways after pulling it out
Shadiversity has gone into depth on how to make a back scabbard work. Interesting stuff.
There's a ton of little Kirby's inside of the big Kirby. Russian nesting doll situation.
This is why I've adopted Shadiversity's "Shabbard" into my fantasy designs - A practical backscabbard that allows the wearer go more easily draw and sheath a sword on their back.
I recently got a master sword replica and realized it was impossible too. Looked up on google if they even wore swords on their backs back then. Saw that no. They didn’t lol
@@JRiley187 the only people who wore swords on the back are the Celts surprisingly, because they used short swords and even then the only evidence we have they did is from little stone soldier statues found at a burial
@ well I was lied to and Ganon totally kicked my ass because of it lol
@@JRiley187 The general rule of thumb is if your sword is longer than your arm, then it is physically impossible to back-draw it from a standard scabbard. Now, depending on how much longer the sword is than your arm, it IS possible to back-draw some swords that are longer than your arm if you bend over and draw them over your shoulder instead of straight up. But it's not recommended as it is highly impractical and most swords you would want to do this with are still too long even for this draw method.
There's a reason Aragorn from Lord of The Rings kept Anduril's Scabbard attached to his horse's saddle. In that movie, you never saw Viggo with that sword on his back because it was too friggin' long. It was always either sheathed under the saddle or in his hand.
From what I understand, swords were sheathed on the back, primarily, for traveling. Especially long-distance travelling. However, if there was a good chance that the swordsman was going to need his sword for defense, even travelling, it would either be worn on the hip or, like Aragorn, attached under the saddle of their horse.
However, for populated traversal, as in through a town, you would do an Aragorn and either keep it stowed under your saddle or firmly in your hand. Why? Just because you can't draw your sword from your back doesn't someone else can't. The positioning of the sword on the back makes it relatively easy for someone to just walk up behind you and steal your sword if your scabbard doesn't have a locking mechanism to keep the sword in the scabbard which, let's be honest, most scabbards don't.
@@Grimsly3736 Not exactly. It was at least a thing in Japan too, with Nodachi. But if you were carrying a nodachi on your back you probably also had a katana or a wakazashi on your hip for quick-drawing
@@dragon12234 I was meaning more so in the context of battle ready carrying, should’ve clarified
eve though i think he already is, Sakurai deserves immortality.. he's such a good guy
I mean, if the sword is too long, you could just take out some of the side part for extra space.

Kirby fits that much food becuase he is literally a god. A physical manifestation of the void. Its why he has such an unbelievable appetite
Isn’t there a RUclipsr that made a prototype sword that could be unsheathed from your back because it has like a slit in the side? I can’t remember his name though, but I thought it was cool.
yes there is. Shad Brooks is his name
NGL i thought they were going to copyright strike 💀
"your arms are too short, sorry ✌️😔"
Link pulling the scabbard down honestly a cool small little detail, even if the they technically still cheated it.
My reaction watching this was "well editted, well researched, to the point, no blatant misunderstanding of the topic, who is this guy he seems kinda professional"
Damn he was
Still a good skit, if u showed me that I wouldn’t have thought he was tryna take it out, that’s something link would actually do
Kirby canonically has the universe inside of him
Kirby is kinda a space god... He could destroy planets but he'd rather eat food, hang out with friends and nap.
Man Link's arms must be really flexible if he can pull that off lol.
Kirby is a sentient Bag of Holding
The canon answer to Kirby's mouth is that his stomach is a pocket dimension.
When your accuracy is so good it highlights the impossibilities of the real world.
In movies, when a sword is pulled from a back scabbard, they film it in multiple shots and then edit it to look seemless. Historically no one ever went into combat like that for this exact reason
This is because that is Masahiro Sakurai, and the man not only is he very obsessed with the details for his works, but he is able to respond to his fans however he wishes, because he is technically not a part of Nintendo, so they cannot chain him down with their problems and business practices.
Kirby’s stomachs is literally an entirely separate dimension. He could eat everything and still not be full.
And this is why a sword slung across the back only works if it's not kept in a normal sheath.
As a fellow Link cosplayer. When you spin the sword around you have to flip it down the ricasso to hold it before sliding in. If the blade is weighted properly, it should swing in your hand handle up before the tip points into the scabbard.
Well this is going to make all the historical weapons and martial arts youtubers happy
I remember noticing the sword clipping through his sheath in twilight princess as a kid. That little detail of him pulling it down in ultimate is amazing though!
kirby is the incarnation of the chaos in the universe, he is a multiversal being capable of destroying monsters made of dark matter and survive attacks who destroy the reality
Thank goodness the reply was wholesome. I don't know what I would've done if the reply wasn't wholesome.
Fun fact canonically Kirby has infinite space inside him also the inside of his mouth is actually a very wholesome and comforting place as explained by the Kirby manga meaning anyone inside Kirby’s mouth is technically alive and in basicly comfort
Even in the actual game, it's clear in BOTW/TOTK that Link's sword just phases through the scabbard lol
