Holy hell, this is officially the coolest bit of papercraft I've ever seen. We feature a lot of papercraft stuff on the site, but never a life-sized creation! Check out more amazing pics of Link here (thanks Kaepora!)
You can even get the tools to make your own Link, if you're feeling really ambitious. Grab the mapped-out plans here

I expected Wind Waker Link.
Completely glad to be wrong for once.
Cheers for the bestest most badass incarnation of Link since the days of OoT and MM.

is it just me, or does the polygon effect you get from papercraft make it all that much cooler.
@MoldyClay
Isn't Link's personality supposed to be what the player's feeling? I know Link became more expressive after Wind Waker (as in his face shows more emotion in WW and TP than it did in OoT and MM), but the guy still never speaks or has text boxes so the player is the one left to fill in the extra emotion. That's what I do all the time.

That's some awesome papercraft. Wonder if this guy will do one for the Zelda Wii Link, the first official right handed Link (Miyamoto is ambidextrous so why can't his character's be [actually I think Mario already is]? Plus I've heard most lefties like to hold the nunchuck in the left hand and wiimote in the right when using the wiimote+nunchuck control scheme).

That was moreso a jab at MrBubbles so we can argue on AIM about it for lulz. I don't actually care.
And yes, you're right.
For some reason though, I feel like Toon Link has more personality than TP Link (I'm really considering these the only Links to have a judgeable personality). I don't know why. I guess because he actually seems to have things that he's going after. TP Link is just doing what he's told and he loses interest in Ilia in a matter of seconds. TWW Link does what he's told too, but his cooperation is relevant.
That's my view anyway.
But again, I don't care, it wasn't directed at anything else.

We need a life-size Samus, Midna, and Ganondorf.
My god. Life-sized Ganondorf.
I'm all over that.

Recent Links have enough personality to not need tuning up in manga. But still can have player interpretations.
i just went on /po/ to call them all pathetic, because most of them, instead of going "awesome" went "that guy is a loser"
jealous much?
