First Paper Mario… Now Paper Zelda?





It’s now confirmed; all you naysayers who’ve been saying that 2D is better than 3D are just plain wrong.

Who could possibly say that having one these babies isn’t at least 10 times as cool as a mere 2D Zelda poster, hmm?

I found the link to this over at The Hylia. They’re currently highlighting a very talented individual by the way of Ninjatoes who makes papercraft models of people, vehicles, or whatever floats his (or her?) boat from various video games, TV programs, and animés. He’s made tons of models from the Advanced Wars series, Tomb Raider, Star Trek… and most recently, everyone’s favourite video game (or at least everyone who reads this!), The Legend of Zelda.

Currently, there are models of young Link, young Zelda, and Majora’s Mask. You can find the other finished models for both of them below. Each of the models are incredibly detailed, emulating the polygonal polyhedral models of the N64 characters remarkably well (as you can obviously see with your own two eyes). Even as bad as I am with hands-on activities, I am highly tempted to go steal borrow from my “sources” the materials needed to (attempt to) make these.

You can find his Zelda models here.

Somehow, I never cease to be amazed by what fans will come up with. Next thing you know, people will be modding the GameCube in an attempt to make it portable…
