    1. The first thing you should do after cutting out the part (any part) is pre-shape it: there are several fold lines that you need to fold.

      If you do so, it’s often easier already to see how the part connects to the other parts.

      Also don’t forget that I usually try to place the parts together on the templates the way you should glye them together: if you look at part 17, you will see that the top glueing tab connects to part 16, and that the bottom glueing tab of part 16 connects to part 17.

      Then, if you look at the instructions, you can see the shape of part 16 in step 24, and in step 25 how part 17 is glued on and how the glueing tabs on both sides are “pulled” back: they don’t connect to anything yet.

      They will connect to the body in step 33. If you’re stuck, try to look at the steps later on, to see if they can help you figure out what the part looks like in a later stage and maybe from a different angle.

      And don’t forget: if you’re not sure, try without glue first, and don’t be too scared to try it out the way you think it should be put together: even if it turns out you were wrong, tehn you will eliminated one possibility.

      And in the end, the right one, how implausible it may seem, will remain. ;o)

      Good luck and have fun!

    1. The easiest way to make Oni Link’s legs, is to start by scoring all the fold lines on part 7 (use the PDF file as a reference if you can’t see them clear enough on the printed version). Then glue the long glueing tab on the right edge to the edge where the part number 7 is, creating a crude cylinder for the leg like you see in step 10 of the instructions.

      For the knee (part 8) you shouldn’t fool yourself by thinking it needs to be a “closed” part! ;o) As you an see in step 11 of the instructions, you only need to shape and glue the top part, and the two “triangular” sides don’t connect yet!

      You need to glue them to part 7 as you can see in step 12 of the instructions. The way they are arranged on the template tells you which glueing tab goes where, but if you’re not sure, you can try without glue first to see if it fits the way you thought.

      The other leg goes together pretty much the same way, and to glue them together at Oni Link’s “crotch area”, you can use the two arrows on the template, which show you where the two glueing tabs of parts 7 and 9 should be glued, and of course the further steps in the instructions.

      It’s difficult to explain in words of course, but I hope with the parts in front of you, you can figure it out. If you’re not sure, try it without glue first, so you can always try a different way if it doesn’t work. ;o)

      Have fun building!

  2. Im almost done with FD Link its turning out great for my first time i wouldnt got this far if you didnt tell me how to glue the legs and piece 11 together thx very much!

  3. Thanks ninjatoes for your help that e-mail you sent to me was helpful(xmangar@msn.com).THX 4 THE HELP![but 1 more question what is easier zora armor link or fierce diety?]

    1. That’s actually a difficult call; I think ZaL is made up of simpler shapes that are much more intuitive to build, whereas sometimes on FD Link, you might need to check with the instructions much more often to see which way you need to fold a certain part.

      But then again, many people find the fingers like the ones ZaL has very difficult to build because of their size…

      But still, because ZaL is made up out of such simple shapes, I think it’s the easier one to build!

  4. I cant get past glueing his legs together can someone help me by sending a video to my email.(xmangar@msn.com)I just cant figure out what flaps go where, and why do the legs turn out looking fat when you assemble them?

    1. What parts exactly are you having problems with?

      I tried to arrange most parts on the sheets the way they should be glued together, so that is often a good indication. The instructions should also help of course.

      After glueing together the legs and knees, follow the two arrows on the templates to glue the two legs together. After that, pre-shape part 11 (score and fold the fold lines, but don’t glue anything together yet).

      Then start at the front (the bottom of part 11 as it is on the sheet) like in step 15 of teh instructions, and then the back like in step 16.

      It’s hard to explain in words, but I hope it helps you figure it out, it’s probably simpler than you imagine right now. ;o) Try it without glue first, until you know you got it right. Good luck and have fun!

      (oh, and Oni Link’s legs are so fat because he’s so well trained! ;o)

  5. I just finished constructing this model; it took a while, but was well worth it. :)

    It stood on its own on the first try as well, which I was pretty glad about. Great model!

  6. I downloaded the parts a few days ago and i messed up on one of the folds and when i tried to download it again it said i couldn’t because its been moved somewhere else

  7. I saw on a web that i don’t rememb that you put weights on the feets of the fierce deity link for stand it

    1. I managed to get my own FD Link standing without having to put weight in his boots by adjusting his legs after I built it.

      If you can get him to stand without problems, don’t change it of course! ;o) Otherwise you can choose between putting some weight in his boots (people seem to use anything from a couple of pennies to Play-Doh ;o) or you can glue him to a stand.

  8. It can be a bit difficult to make Fierce Deity Link stand on its own because of the huge sword he’s holding.

    If you can’t get it to work, the best thing to do is glue him on top of a nice stand, or put some weight in his boots.

    Have fun building!

        1. Well, Melee Link wasn’t too mad. It was Skull Kid who was mad. Then Zelda came and broke up the fight. Weird.
