“The future depends on thee, Link. . . Thou art courageous.”

Quick little sculpture of young Link, notably as seen in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This was merely intended to be a small bobble similar to Funko POP!, but I kept increasing the size of the model to make him more game-accurate. Some of the major issues were the the shoulders, arms, and hat. The arms were actually revised several times, especially at the last minute, as the original arms/shoulders were too weak to hold the shield.

Below are the accessories for Link, close up. These were built last, and were used mainly for the photo shoot. The Deku Shield design took a while to create, and I finally settled with the uneven tile pattern to give the effect of a wood carving.
