# Zelda LED UltraHand

## Overview

https://youtu.be/DNyDilNJeho

You can build a prop replica of Link’s Ultra Hand from The Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom.

We were inspired by Link’s new ability and used LED noodles to make it into a glowing 3D printed prop.

It’s a two piece wearable prop that fits over your arm and the palm of your hand.&nbsp;

The arm band has 3 LED noodles wired in series that are powered by a 9V battery while the palm uses a single LED noodle with a coin cell.

The battery holders feature switches that are easy to get to for quickly turning the LEDs on and off.

The LED noodles are pretty bright compared to EL wire and it’s even visible during the day.
