i have a request …can you help me to find wolf link’s papercraft in pdo?>.< thank you so much
I never released any Pepakura *.pdo files of wolf Link, sorry…
I always make a lot of separate *.pdo files, because I don’t want to unfold *everything* again everytime I test build and fix something of course…
So there never is one, complete *.pdo file for my models: the only complete and correct version is the PDF file.
If you’re having trouble, make sure you have folded all the parts properly: check the version *with* lines on your computer, because sometimes it can be difficult to see the fold lines on the printed version since wolf Link is so dark, and it’s easy to miss one.
Make sure you fold all the valley folds up, and all the mountain folds down. If you’re not sure about a certain part, try out if it fits the way you thought without glue first, and when you’re sure it does, apply the glue. If it doesn’t, check again to see if you didn’t miss any fold lines, or if you maybe folded them the wrong way.
Wolf Link is a very challenging model, so take your time, and use the step-by-step instructions as reference and I’m sure you can do it!
aww.. hahaha.. i need pdo file to make that object bigger hahahhaa, because i want to make a big one >.<.
If you want to make a bigger version, you could open the PDF file with a program like Photoshop or Gimp, or another image editing program that can open PDF files.
Then you can scale the sheets just like you would do a normal image. Depending on how big you make it, some parts may not fit on a single page anymore, but that’s not a big problem really: you can just glue them together again after printing! ;o)
Good luck and have fun!
heheheheh thank you… i’ll try it to make a costume play XD
hope i can do it, thanks for share :)
please make me one ( im willing to buy)
The parts and instructions to make a papercraft wolf Link yourself are free, but I’m afraid I don’t sell finished models…
Papercraft is usually very time consuming, and wolf Link definately has some very small parts (especially in the head) that make it a difficult model.
Many papercrafters find that they can build a lot more complex models than they thought, though, as long as they take their time and don’t try to rush it. ;o)
Maybe you will be able to build it yourself, or maybe you can find somebody else that will make you one, but in this case I can’t help you I’m afraid, sorry…
maybe 11th try is the charm
If you already tried it before, it’s important to learn from it; use the first try to find out what went wrong, and you can experiment on it if you’re not sure on a certain part.
Try it one way on your old attempt, and then if it turns out it works, do the same on your new wolf Link, and if it doesn’t try a different way until you get it right.
Wolf link can be a challenging model, but the “trick” is to take your time, and if you’re not sure, test first to see if it fits the way you thought, and if it doesn’t, try it a different way until it does. ;o)
So can you give me any tips on the head that is my “problem area”. My driving force is my love of all things Zelda. Thank you in advance
Because it’s such a challenging model, try to only cut out and work with one part at a time to avoid confusion.
First look at the parts-sheet with the fold lines, so you can see where you have to make valley folds and mountain folds.
There are also a lot of arrows and markings on the sheets, so make sure you can follow them and understand which glueing tab connects to which edge.
That way, when you start to pre-shape the model (folding it without glue yet) often you will already get an idea of how to assemble it.
Then, by looking at the picture (if they’re too dark, try adjusting the brightness of your screen or use an image editing program to adjust the brightness of the pictures) you can see if it looks like the picture.
Hold the new parts next to the ones you already glued together, and see if it fits. If it does, apply some glue to the glueing tabs to glue it on, if not, try looking at the fold lines and pictures to see if you made a mistake and try again.
ok ill try thanks
I have been doing many papercrafts for over 10 years. I want to put the wolf together, it looks like a simpler model than the ravengod on the world of warcraft papercraft site! If you want a real challenge, the ravengod is it, and the finished model is a sight to behold. You can find it there.
Wolf’s teeth look challenging, but am sure I can master this one. Great job on the model! I love wolves!
Yeah, with all the layers of feathers on the Raven Lord, it can be difficult to see which part goes where exactly…
The same goes for wolf Link’s “hair”, so I tried to made it as clear as possible with markings and in the instructions, but you definately still need to keep your head with it! ;o)
Wolf Link is one of the most challenging models I made so far I think (especially the head has some very small parts, as you already discovered) but with 10 years of experience, I’m sure you can do it! ;o)
How hard would you say this model is? It looks as though it has small parts and lots of details, but if it’s pretty big it makes it easier to manage those things.
Wolf Link has some of the smallest parts of any of my models (teeth, the earring…) and the “hair” can be very confusing if you try to go too fast.
So yes, some parts can be *very* challenging…! ;o)
I ended up doing the head and hair three times before I got it to finally work right. Also, I was quite stupid and decided to use superglue when I was building it, bad idea. Though in my defence it was one of the first I attempted, and it came out pretty well in the end
I’m happy to hear you didn’t give up but instead kept working on it until you were happy with it!
I think you can be very proud of yourself, because wolf Link is definately on of the most challenging models I made so far, especially the head and the hair like you say! ;o)
Have fun building!
Dude, that’s awesome! Sadly, I can’t do it because my computer won’t open .zip files. I have done the Majora’s Mask model, but havn’t had the chance for anything else
Firstly, to open ZIP files, you need to have a “file archiving” tool (like 7-Zip installed on your computer. If you don’t have one yet, then installing one will probably solve your problem.
If it is for a different reason that you can’t open ZIP-files, just e-mail me (ninjatoes@home.nl) and we’ll work something out. ;o)
For some reason, it won’t even download .zip files. Could you find some way to convert it to .pdf? Thanks!
The parts are actually already in PDF format, but they’re inside the ZIP files.
But like I said, if you can send me an e-mail at ninjatoes@home.nl, I’m sure we can work something out.
My computer still wont download it, and my mom wont let me use email, so i geuss i can’t do it.
Sorry!
I’M DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I can see! (I already received your pictures)
It kinda looks like he has a sort of evil grin in your picture haha, it looks great…! ;o) Definately not someone you’d want to mess with…!
I’ll add your new pictures to the hall of fame as soon as possible, and of course I’ll let you know again when it’s done.
Have fun building!
I’m very happy now because… I almost made this papercraft
I finished head and hair .. the other parts must be easier right?
and I want to thank you to make this thing..
I don’t speak English well .. but I hope you understand my words.
when I complete this craft.. It will be happy for me to show you my result ..
Yes, the head and the hair are definately the most difficult parts of wolf Link!
I hope you will have fun building the rest of him. If you send me a picture when you’re finished, I can put it in the hall of fame if you want to. ;o)
Have fun building!
Could you please make a version with bright orange lines or something? I’m having trouble seeing the score lines on page 3.
Yeah because wolf Link’s fur is so dark, it can be difficult to see the fold lines on the printed template.
They should be easy enough to see on the digital version though; open the PDF version on your computer, and compare the parts on your computer screen with the print outs.
That way you can work out where all the fold lines should be. If you still can’t see them well enough, play around with the brightness and contrast settings of your computer screen a bit.
I’m on the legs and still can’t see well on my computer.
Really? If you zoom in on the parts, you should be able to see the black dotted lines pretty clearly, even on the dark grey parts…
If all else fails, maybe adjusting the contrast/brightness of your monitor might help you see the lines better?
And if you still have to guess whether or not there’s a fold line on some parts, try pre-shaping the part without that fold line first, and see if it makes sense that way. And if not, try to imagine whether or not a fold line on that part would solve the problem.
It would take ages to do that on all the parts of course, so the first thing I would do is see if zooming in on the parts with fold lines helps!
Good luck and have fun!
i will not dobt you that the Gamecube version is the original but the Wii version was released first.
Also could the build still work with putting the shackle on his other leg
What I meant was, that *both* versions exist, one with the shackle on his left paw, and one with the shackle on his right paw. ;o)
The shackle isn’t part of the paw, but it goes around it. So I think it should be possible to put it on the other paw if you’d want to. I think you could just turn it around, so the front is the back and the back is the front (so the “eye” where the chain attaches sticks out).
The paws are not 100% exact mirror images of eachother, but it should be close enough so that you don’t have to trim the hole of the shackle too much I think.
The shackle goes on the sword hand. On the Gamecube version, Link is (as usual) left handed. However, on the Wii (because most people are right handed), they made him right handed so you could swing the Wii remote (for the sword) in your right hand. Understand?
in the model you have the shakle form his imprisionment on the wrong leg
You must have been playing Twilight Princess on the Wii. ;o)
The GameCube version is the original version, where Link is left-handed, and the shackle is on Wolf Link’s left front leg.
But when they made Twilight Princess for the Wii, they thought it would be weird for most people that are right-handed and therefore hold the Wiimote in their right hand, to control Link’s sword in his left hand.
Instead of changing all of Link’s animations, they decided to just mirror the entire game. So in the Wii version, Link’s sword is in his right hand, and the shackle is on his right front leg (and the dungeons are mirror versions of the GameCube version ;o)
You can see in the artwork that Link is left-handed as he should be, and Wolf Link’s shackle is on his left front leg. ;o)
In this image, you can clearly see the GameCube button layout and the shackle on the left leg, and in this one you can see the wii button layout and the shackle on the other leg.
