Zelda models by Rutger

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)

Zora armor Link by Jon and Hayley the papercraft couple

02-04-2010: Jon and Hayley have really been busy with their papercraft hobby, and now they even made their own Papercraft Couple weblog where you can see even more pictures and videos of all the paper models they built!

29-01-2010: Look at what I received in my mail today! It’s a very clean build of Zora armor Link, done by Hayley.

She and her boyfriend Jon love papercraft (and eachother ;o) so much that they decided to make a Deviantart account about their joined hobby, fittingly called “the papercraft couple“. ;o)

Hop over there and you’ll see they made many more paper models already, but what did you expect? There’s two of them! ;o)

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Hero of Twilight by Truffles

15-12-2009: Only a few days after I finally finished it, Nathan “Truffles” Richards already sends me a picture of his completed Hero Clothes Link from Twilight Princess.

Nathan has been papercrafting for about a year now, but he says this is his best one yet – and I must say that it does look outstanding!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Zora armor Link v2 by Toni Müller

12-12-2009: I intentionally made Zora armor Link and Hero outfit Link the same scale, so people could “mix and match” the sword and shield.

And that’s exactly what Toni did!

But he didn’t stop there; he also cut a hole in the face of Zora armor Link and replaced part of the face with that of Hero outfit Link, so that the black mask isn’t covering his mouth anymore!

And if you look carefully, you can also see that Toni added a little extra detail by cutting out little triangles from the top and bottom of the armor, to make it look even more “scale-like” like it does in the game.

With the edge colouring and these extra details, I think Toni can be really proud of the way his paper model turned out!

He also made a small slide show this time, so be sure to check it out on his YouTube channel!

06-11-2009: Here’s a new picture from Toni Müller! This time it’s young Link from Majora’s Mask!

22-07-2009: Toni Müller built this Zora armor Link in about 15 hours and although he said there were some parts that confused him a bit, I would never had guessed if he hadn’t told me, because that build already looked great as well!

Though being pulled from his comfy virtual world into the real world may sound exciting for an adventurer like Link, but it does require some adjusting…

Here, Toni tried to explain Link that rupees are no good in the real world and that you need coins!

Link looked a bit baffled, and although I don’t know the current exchange rate between rupees and Euros, it’s enough to make ZaL’s head explode! (amongst other things…)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Midna by GoGirl786

20-11-2009: GoGirl786 sent me this picture of the Midna she built back in February already, when she just started papercrafting. I think it looks pretty good, what you? ;o)

GoGirl786 has a YouTube channel with several… crazy vids (I really don’t know how else to describe them… ;o) so be sure to check them out!

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Zora armor Link by Andrew

23-08-2009: The picture of Zora armor Link that you can see above was sent to me by Andrew.

He’s a really big Zelda fan, as this picture proves: besides ZaL, he also built Ganondorf (that was the first one he made) young Link, Oni Link, the Clock Town Schnauzer and Epona.

He’s getting the hang of it more and more, so it’s nice to hear he’s having so much fun building them!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Wolf Link by Symon

12-07-2009: Symon shows off his incredible papercraft talent again! This time he built Midna to keep wolf Link company (picture) and although he did have some trouble glueing on the head, he did an amazing job building the King of Red Lions! (picture) It looks like a very clean build, as well as Josh’s Great Sea base!

15-05-2009: It’s actually been a while since anyone sent me a picture of their wolf Link, but here’s a new one then, done by Symon from Switzerland!

It’s the version *with* lines, but as many people already found out, the textures are pretty dark so you can hardly see the dotted lines. ;o)

The teeth and the earring are probably some of the smallest and most difficults parts I ever made on one of my models, but Symon did an amazing job I think! (even though it was a bit difficult; the folds on that earring *really* are tiny! ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Zelda models by Eileena

04-07-2009: Eileena sends me this wonderful group shot of several of my Zelda models!

Of course you recognize young Link and princess Zelda, and adult Link and Epona, posing nicely for the picture.

I wonder what’s got the little Clock Town Schnauzer so interested though; maybe there’s some fish hidden in that Twilight Princess pot over there? ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Wolf Link and Midna by TABKAP

26-05-2009: These wolf Link and Midna models were built by TABKAP.

Midna only took him about 2 days, but wolf Link took him over 3 weeks. Not only because that one just is much more difficult, but also because he didn’t have as much time as he did with Midna because school already started again…

Don’t you just hate it when everyday life gets in the way of the stuff you really want to do…? ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Zelda models & Sword of the Phoenix by Vivek Mahendra

22-10-2008: Only 9 years old, Vivek Mahendra has no trouble making paper models like my Sword of the Phoenix, or Majora’s Mask. The Thwomp block can be found in the Mario section of Nintendopapercraft.com.

Building wolf Link proved more difficult, but Vivek managed to build that one as well! You can see a picture of it here: picture.

Anybody can build a paper model, as long as you have fun doing so! ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Zelda models by Brandon

20-09-2008: Brandon from Florida (USA) is the first to send me a picture of my Midna model!

For now, Midna is sitting on a wooden bench, but Brandon is planning on building wolf Link as well for Midna to ride.

Midna is one of my newest models, Brandon also built some of my “oldies”, Like young Link and Majora’s Mask.

Have fun building wolf Link, and I hope it turns out just as great as these three!

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Zelda models by alikakadri

16-01-2009: of course alikakadri just *had* to build my Schnauzer as well, but somewhere she made a mistake and somehow it ended it up in a sitting position, looking up at the ceiling: picture

She thought others might like to build a sitting Schnauzer as, so she tried to re-create what went wrong: picture 1 | picture 2 | picture 3

19-09-2008: by now, alikakadri has built almost all my Zelda models! ;o) Here’s Midna on a Rubik’s Cube, Midna Riding wolf Link (nice job painting wolf Link’s “beard”! ;o), Fierce Deity Link (repainted from another papercraft model) and here’s a group shot.

07-09-2008: alikakadri’s latest build is of Epona & Link, and she did a great job painting them again I think! ;o)

28-08-2008: Super Smash Bros. Melee Link is probably the most difficult model I made, and for alikakadri, it was even more difficult!

She could only access the internet at the public library and print a few pages in black and white, so printing the 100+ pictures of my instructions wasn’t really an option, so she decided she would try it without them!

I already added a lot of guides on the template, and it was a big help for her, but I can imagine it must still have been very difficult! But she did a great job building it, and she even painted it by hand to give the black and white prints these nice colours!

A really great job! ;o)

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Wolf Link by Tristan Levine

06-06-2008: Since she had nothing better to do anyway, why not build a paper wolf Link, Tristan Levine from Washington, USA, thought?

And time how long it took: 22:15 hours to be exact, spread out over one week.

It was her very first encounter with papercraft, and it turned a bit wobbly. It still looks very good, though, and now it can spend the rest of its days on top of Tristan’s Wii.

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Young & wolf Link by Nicole

15-07-2007: it took Nicole from Singapore only three days to build young Link (the version with lines).

The lineless version of wolf Link took her a lot longer, and some of the teeth were so fiddly she decided not to make them all.

But as you can see, even without all of his teeth, wolf Link doesn’t look like someone you would want to mess around with…

Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Wolf Link by Thore Höferer

26-02-2007: It’s only been a week and a half since I uploaded my new wolf Link papercraft model to my site, but already I received this entry for the Ninjatoes’ hall of fame. Thore must have been working on it 24/7!

I don’t know if you can tell from this small picture, but it’s the version with lines. It’s much easier to build than the lineless version, and because most of textures are quite dark anyway, the fold lines aren’t really dominant.

Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!!
