Elegy of Emptiness Link

I return from elsewhere with a new craft! Now I've not actually given up, just in the last months I've had a bunch of models which just never made it to the building stage.

Elegy of Emptiness Link is here (though you may wish he wasn't)! In Majora's Mask by playing the song, Elegy of Emptiness inside Stone Tower, Link can 'shed a shell' of himself to create a statue of his current form. Described as a souless image, these are used to solve a variety of puzzles later on. The image created depends on what form Link is in at the time. As a Hylian (not wearing a transformation mask) the statue produced is a surreal, rather warped parody of Link. I always found the statues quite disturbing and an obscure piece of the darker world of Termina. (No wonder they used him for that fake haunted game story recently! Granted, I made this before his bizarre popularity spike)

15.7cm tall without the stand, which adds another ~7mm. The large head makes it top heavy so weighing it down inside, or even glueing to the stand is necessary. Other than closing the hood and some important valley folds, it's a simple model.

Difficulty: 4.75/10

As usual thick paper or thin card should be used, plus the PDO file helps a lot!

(Wryly smiling at folks here because of that haunted game stuff. People'll believe anything huh?)

I really want to get this and freak out my friend, but my comp wont read the .RAR file type. How can i get a different format?

Xenon said...

Try a different file compressor program such as WinRAR or AlZip, these open a variety of file types and are very handy tools. :)

I've been using .RARs recently because they offer much better compression for my papercraft files than .ZIP does.

It reminds me of Wind Waker Link... or rather, Wink Waker Link reminds me of it, since the Elegy statue did come first. I wonder if this statue was meant to be a hint about the new design for Link that would appear a few years later?

Xenon said...

If it was hinting at a new design, then thank goodness they didn't use it!

I've also heard people say it is a caricature of Shigeru Miyamoto's face, but I can't see it... -__-
