How come there is no LINE version of the papercaft of twilight princess Link? i just printed the papercraft today, but what gets me angry is that i can find a lined version of link. I print out the UN-LINED version… but obviously use the line to guide me…. Any help? It’s sort of urgent :/ Once i get the pieces cut out. i want to start building which is only a day really. Thanks.
AWESOE MODEL! can’t wait for the challenge *bites nails*
I think i answered my own question. Sorry for the intrusion. I guess is what im trying to say is. Maybe it should of been specified that it didnt come with folds :/. Like i said sorry for the intrusion.
Don’t worry about it. ;o)
I used to make lined and unlined versions because back then, Pepakura Designer (the software that I use to unfold my computer-made models) only had black fold lines, but the newer versions allow you to use coloured fold lines, so they will blend in with the parts when printed.
You’re right though: most of the parts on this particular model are to be “curved”, but there are some parts that still need to be folded.
For those parts, I recommend having the PDF files open as reference, because the coloured fold lines can be very hard to see on the printed pages.
Have fun building!
how big will Link be?(when completed?)
About 24 cm (9.5 inch).
It keeps coming up with a file not found error when I try download any of your peps.
is there another place ur hosting the legend of zelda peps mainly the hero of twilight and the super smash bros melee link?
I’m sure that other sites are also hosting copies of the models from my own website, but you can understand that I can’t possibly keep track of all the sites that do of course… ;o)
All the downloads are direct links to the files, and they seem to be working correctly. Note that most of the files are PDF files, so you need a PDF reader to be able to open those (Adobe Reader is a very popular, free one) and some files are ZIP archives (you will need to unpack those first with a program like 7-Zip ) to be able to view the files inside.
It’s also possible that the webspace host was experiencing problems when you last tried, though, so it’s always a good idea to empty your temporary internet files, clearing your internet cache and restarting your browser to prevent loading a bad, old version of the site and the downloads when you try again.
So please try again (after clearing your temporary internet files and restarting your browser) to see if you can get the downloads to work, and let me know if the problem remains.
That is cool, I love the Zelda series my self. If you have released the template let me know what website to find it at
The parts and instructions are available just below the picture, have fun building!
thanks man this rock’s. i got a few models to build now ;) hell yeah
Have fun building!
Man, i love this. im finally starting to make these after not for no reason. let me ask, what kind of paper do you print yours on usually? id believe cardstock to be too thick for the printer. do you use like paper thats slightly thicker than just regular computer paper?
Personally, I never use any “special” paper, like photopaper, or glossy paper, although some people do because they like the glossy finish.
As far as thickness goes, the paper I use is designated as 200 gsm (200 grams per square meter). I’ve been told it’s about equivalent to 110 lbs index paper in the US, but it’s very hard to convert paper weights, so I can’t be 100% sure…
Regular paper being about 80 gsm, that means it’s about 2.5 times as thick as regular paper.
That may not sound like much, but once you build a paper model out of it, you will definately notice the difference. ;o) A lot of people use 120 gsm or 160 gsm (1.5-2 times as thick as regular paper) and it’s really a personal choice…
Thicker paper means a stronger model in the end, but it’s also more expensive and it requires more pre-shaping which will help you create the shape you want.
Most desktop printers won’t have problems feeding thicker paper. An ordinary paper jam shouldn’t completely destroy your printer of course, and maybe if you explain what you’re worried about at the store where you buy your paper and ask nicely, they will let you take home a sheet of paper for you to try without having to buy an entire pack at once? ;o)
I hope you’ll be able to find the paper that fits your needs best, have fun building!
that must be hard as hell…
Most of it is just paper cylinders glued together, although some of them (*cough* the fingers *cough*) are pretty small…
The real trick though, is to just take your time and if you don’t feel like working on it for a while, just put it away until you do again. ;o)
Just to confirm, do the reverse side pieces need to be glued to the back of their counterparts?
Yes, exactly: they’re optional parts for people that don’t like the backside of the hair or “man-skirt” to be white.
So you can also just print them on regular printer paper instead of thicker cardstock that you might be using for the other parts.
Have fun building!
I am building one =)
I hope you’ll like it!
yeah! look what i found:http://www.papercraftmuseum.com/life-sized-link/
That one was made by Haywan Chiu, I’m still waiting for someone to build them both and take a picture of them together. ;o)
