22-02-2011: My Super Smash Bros. Melee Link is one of the most challenging models I made so far, with a lot of tiny parts.
It took MundoPapercraft1 two weeks to finish it, but I think he did a very good job! You can see a video with more close-ups on his YouTube channel.
MundoPapercraft1 also built my young princess Zelda and Majora’s Mask models, and also models he made from other people, all of which you can see in his DeviantArt gallery!
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ paper models!
21-02-2011: One model that’s actually two models! Zarra from Brazil built Cremia’s wagon and the mule from The legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask!
The farmer girl Cremia uses this wagon to deliver her famous Romani Ranch milk to Clock Town, but two bandits keep harassing her during her milk run…
Cremia is very grateful of course when Link helps her fight off the hooded bandits and even when she doesn’t have the Romani Mask anymore, she still gives him a big reward! ;o)
The wagon and mule look very good, and I hope Zarra had fun building them! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
18-02-2011: Choaslegion has to work long hours running his own business, so he can really only do papercraft during work hours.
But even though he has to stop regularly to help customers, Super Smash Bros. Melee Link is the 38th model he built already!
Chaoslegion built the doublesized version, scaled up by Haywan Chiu from the PaperCraft Museum (link).
Here are some more pictures of Choaslegion’s SSB:M Link:
picture 2 | picture 3
Which other models Choaslegion built?
Well, lots of models from all over the internet! But I do know that his second one was my young Link, from Majora’s Mask: picture
Pretty cool indeed! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
15-02-2011: A picture of Link taken with a Nintendo DSi, how fitting! ;o)
But there’s more to Vik’s papercraft Link than meets the eye! (no, he doesn’t transform or anything… ;o)
If you look closely, you can see that the textures were all coloured by hand; Vik didn’t have a working printer at the time, so he traced the parts directly from his computer screen onto a piece of paper!
That’s some dedication! It must have taken him a lot of time to trace all the parts so precise that they would still fit together, and he did a great job colouring the model too! (the colours really kinda look like the original N64 textures ;o)
Vik did the same with Fierce Deity Link: here’s a picture of the finished model, and here are two pictures before he coloured it: picture 1 | picture 2
For Banjo the bear (from Navi’s Papercraft Archive) though, he went to a friend’s house and printed it there: picture
I am sure it was a lot faster that way! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
29-01-2011: It took burps20 from Brazil 3 full days of nonstop papercrafting to build this Super Smash Bros. Melee Link!
He’s very modest, and told me he wished he “had the ability to make more paper models”…
But I think if you can build Melee Link (which is perhaps the most challenging model I made so far!) you have more than enough ability to build pretty much any paper model you want! ;o)
He even changed the stance a bit so Link’s holding his Master Sword different from my own build: picture
In this close-up picture, you can see all the small parts in the face, and if you want to see even more of burp20’s Melee Link, you can watch a video on burp20’s YouTube channel here!
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
18-01-2011: Tiffany is a big Ocarina of Time fan, so she decided to try out my young princess Zelda papercraft model!
She used regular printer paper (because she found it easier to work with ;o) and you can see she only made sharp/crisp folds where she really needed too, like the ears and the nose.
That way, princess Zelda’s dress is much smoother and I think it looks very good!
And now she can get a nice place amongst Tiffany’s other Zelda memorabilia! ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
08-01-2011: After Midna and ZaL, JustTerry built American McGee’s Alice as his next model!
He did a fine job I think, and he even made a nice display stand for her!
He had some trouble glueing on her feet, which made Alice to lean too far backwards, causing her to fall over…
But JustTerry solved that very simple by glueing several small pieces of cardstock underneath Alice’s already high heels to correct the balance: picture
After colouring them black like Alice’s boots, you can hardly see them!
03-01-2011: JustTerry has been papercrafting for a few weeks now, and he’s really enjoying it! ;o)
The Zora armor Link and Midna you see in this picture, were printed on regular paper with a black and white laser printer, but he also built a second Midna printed in colour on thicker, cardstock paper: picture
On that build, he also used the edge-colouring technique to get rid of the white edges from the paper, and he even coloured the backside of the parts that would normally be left white as well, like the helmet, hands and the hair!
JustTerry’s builds look pretty good I think, and all that with just regular old School Glue: picture ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
26-12-2010: only a couple of days after I released it, Lauren already sent me this picture of the paper Mario she built: a very fast and a very good build! ;o)
13-10-2010: after taking a break for a couple of months, Lauren decided to make a new paper model again, and I’m of course very proud that she chose my Majora’s Mask Postman! ;o)
07-01-2010: I don’t know if it’s the extra practice or just her talent for papercraft, but the Underworld wetsuit Lara from Tomb Raider Lauren made after that turned out very good too: picture 1 | picture 2 !
And not only that, but Lauren also decided to build young Link and princess Zelda a second time and do an even better job!
31-12-2009: Lauren sent me some pictures of her Twilight Princess Link !
Although the thinner cardstock she used made it a bit more difficult using the little slots and tabs on the head, I think it looks great! Here you can see it in anticipation for the New Year’s Day fireworks! ;o)
18-10-2009: Here’s a very nice build of Lara’s Extreme Depth Suit (although Lauren couldn’t find a suited transparant sheet to make the helmet visor, the opaque versions looks pretty neat as well! ;o)
And Lauren must be a Simpsons fan as well, because look who we have here: it’s Homer Simpson himself! ;o) And something totally different, but also a great build: she also made my new Final Fantasy Moomba doll!
21-06-2009: I only just uploaded my newest Zora armor Link model two days ago, and Lauren already sent me some new pictures of her completed ZaL! And I know what you’re thinking, but it doesn’t look rushed at all! picture 1 | picture 2 | picture 3
13-04-2009: another non-Zelda model from Lauren, it’s my newest Cloud model. She glued on the legs last so she could work out a good balance, and although she says the hair and fingers gave her some troubles, you wouldn’t say so from just the picture I think, anyway. ;o)
20-01-2009: Lauren revealed to me that Ganondorf and Epona & Link weren’t the first models she made: she also did Fierce Deity Link, young princess Zelda, young Link and Majora’s Mask, Midna and wolf Link, and (surprise! ;o) a non-Zelda model as well, namely, Lara Croft.
18-01-2009: I think we got Lauren pretty well hooked on papercraft now, because so shortly after Ganondorf, she also made Epona & Link (see the picture here) in just 2 days, and she’s already planning the next one! ;o)
14-01-2009: The first pictures Lauren sent me, were of her Ganondorf model, and it was very good one!
She told me she had a lot of fun building him, but I also think you can also tell by the quality of the build! ;o)
It’ll probably come as no surprise to you that Lauren is pretty creative: if you have time you should check out her Deviantart gallery with lots of nice computer paintings including several from the Legend of Zelda!

26-10-2010: Christopher shows us a rare cross-over, showing that our hero Link ( picture 1 | picture 2) doesn’t only keep Hyrule safe from danger, but Mushroom Kingdom as well!
Twilight Link is from my own Legend of Zelda models, and Bowser was made by Brandon and can be found on Nintendopapercraft.com
Just like in all good fights, Link and Bowser (a.k.a. “King Koopa“) try to stare eachother down first: picture 1 | picture 2
…but the outcome is no surprise of course: picture ;o)
So next time you see a poll on a videogame forum asking “Who would win in a fight between Link and Bowser?”, you know the answer!
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
22-10-2010: Jeff built two of my Zelda models: young Link and the Great King of Evil Ganondorf!
It kinda looks like he’s telling them to get along in this picture, but I’m not sure they’ll listen…!
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

16-06-2010: Today, I received a whole bunch of pictures from 18 year old Nizier from France!
He made several papercraft models as gifts for friends, and the first one was wolf Link. It was difficult to make, but Nizier tells me he really liked it, so I’m glad to hear that! ;o)
I think Nizier’s second papercraft gift was to either a Zelda fan or to a horse lover (or both, of course ;o) because it is Link’s trusty horse Epona: picture 1| picture 2 | picture 3
And the third one was the “Going Merry”, which is also a pretty difficult model because it has many small parts: picture 1 | picture 2 | picture 3
It’s easy to see that Nizier spent a lot of time and care on these gifts, and his friends were very happy to recieve them!
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
26-05-2010: Randomzeldafan from Scotland, UK, sent me this picture of Super Smash Bros: Melee Link, one of the most challenging models on my papercraft webpage!
But some of you might not even be that surprised to see what a great job she did with some of those really tiny parts, because you might know randomzeldafan from when she made the made the smallest Hero of Twilight I’ve ever seen: link ;o)
As you can see in this picture though, she also went on to build the regular sized version. ;o)
And she didn’t stop there: she also built Zora armor Link, Link riding Epona, and those are just my models!
On her own weblog, fittingly called FoldFingers, you can see many more models from other papercraft creators built by randomzeldafan, so be sure to check it out!
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

17-04-2010: I just hope Alex knows what he’s doing, because those muzzle flares look mighty dangerous, especially for mere papercraft units… ;o)
Sending a spotter to the top of the castle to keep an eye out for the enemy proved to be a wise precaution, because earlier today, he sighted the enemy closing in on their position…
So instead of being caught off guard, they were able to repel the initial attack as you can see in the picture above, even when the Black Hole Stealth came back for a second run…!
Here are all the Advance Wars units that Alex built so far: picture
20-03-2010: Last time, we saw that Alex had taken command of the Orange Star army (let’s face it, Andy really needs all the help he can get… ;o)
Backed up by this Artillery unit, he sent a spearhead of Md Tanks into enemy territory to force a breakthrough.
Now he informs me, that after being discovered by a Black Hole Stealth, his troops came across a stronghold, and took up defensive positions there.
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
13-04-2010: It took hexagono about 7-8 hours to build the Artillery unit and spotter to go with his Orange Star MD Tank.
Now you can really see the rotating heads of the soldiers in action! I guess the only question is, why exactly *are* they looking at the artillery gunner…? ;o)
06-03-2010: hexagono built my Orange Star MD Tank about 5 hours, so it could guard his laptop; nobody will even think about stealing it now! ;o)
The heads of the soldiers can turn, because he glued a small pin of rolled up paper inside the head, instead of glueing it straight to the body:
Here’s a picture of how hexagono did it: picture
Pretty smart I think! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
11-04-2010: Jen had built several of my paper models before (Link & Epona, young princess Zelda and young Link as seen in the back row) but the front row shows her latest additions!
Instead of choosing which version with which head to build, after a whole week of witch making, Jen has built not one, not two, not even three, but four Koume/Kotake models!
I hope the “normal” ones are from Majora’s Mask, so they even out the evil from their Ocarina of Time Twinrova boss form…
Thank you for building these a Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
07-04-2010: This dangerous looking Majora’s Mask is actually a life-size version from my original smaller version.
It was built by Jalhalla, who also made young princess Zelda! If you want to see bigger pictures of these two paper models, or the other models he built, you can check out his DeviantArt gallery here.

18-03-2010: Hunter built another one of my Zelda models! Of course you already recognized Link’s trusty horse Epona (who apparantly really wants to play the Nintendo Wii… ;o)
27-01-2010: Hunter Turner proves once again that age doesn’t matter in papercraft, only patience and determination to finish what you started! ;o)
He’s only ten years old and already made my Kingdom Hearts version of Cloud Strife, in just three and a half days!
Hunter also built a very fierce looking Oni Link! He says it’s the flash from the camera that makes it look so intimidating, but maybe it’s just the mysterious powers in the mask…
Excellent work!
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
04-03-2010: In the picture above, you can see the papercraft Zelda models built by 15 year old Rutger from the Netherlands so far.
After building Zora armor Link, Rutger now also built Twilight Link and because he didn’t glue their swords to their hands, he can swap them if he wants to!
Now Rutger has not one but two guards to watch over the other papercraft models he built: picture 1 | picture 2 ! ;o)
23-02-2010: This papercraft Zora armor Link was built by 15 year old Rutger from the Netherlands!
You might be thinking Link is pretty defenseless like this, but Rutger saw to that too, building not one, but two sets of weapons: picture
And if he’s ever in a really tight spot, Link can always let loose the hounds of war on his enemies! (well, the paper Clocktown Schnauzer that Rutger also built anyway… ;o)

28-01-2010: You guys never fail to amaze me! I consider SSB:M Link one of the most challenging models on my website, but Werety built this one when he was only eleven!
And he did a very good job too! There are a lot of very small parts, so it must have taken Werety a lot of work and patience to get an end result as great as this!

18-08-2008: Ricardo Junglos from Brazil sends in this picture of an Orange Star MD Tank.
It’s the first model he built from my site, and although he wouldn’t say it’s perfect, he thinks it’s “90%” and he wants to do better next time. But the important thing is that he had fun building it!
Thank you for building this Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
