5. Breath of the Wild Nightlight
Check It Out Another fantastic way to light up any room at night, this Breath of the Wild nightlight cube is the coolest nightlight you can make yourself. From the game of the same name, this Breath of the Wild nightlight will guide your way around in the dark just like it does for Link.

Still, you can still feel like a boss with this handmade craft and it makes for an extremely good looking nightlight to have around the house.
6. Link’s Master Sword

17. The Gale Boomerang
Check It Out From the Twilight Princess game, the Gale Boomerang is as special an item as you could hope to come across.
