Well that is certainly being anal.
This was the stance I was going for: http://thegamereviews.com/userfiles/image/Super%20Retroid/Ocarina/link.jpg Admittingly, the sword could have been up-straight.
Mastersword: http://images.wikia.com/zelda/images/8/80/Master_Sword_(Ocarina_of_Time).png Skinnier at the beginning.
And oh, by the way, my goal wasn't too impress you(not to sound harsh). You've wasted your time typing out all of that because it was something I did for fun in like 30 minutes, not something I spent hours and hours of time researching and planning at.
If it were a sprite I planned on using for something then I'd probably take your cc into consideration but it isn't. I have no intention on changing it so if you are not happy with that than I am apologize to you for that.
Judging by your avatar and the multiple Zelda sprites you've made, I can assume you are a big of fan. However, I do not take so many things into consideration when making a sprite of a character just to make people content.
