Making the House from LINK'S AWAKENING // DIY Zelda Crafts

Рет қаралды 423,100

Күн бұрын

I've been on a bit of a Zelda Craft Binge lately and I thought it was time to make the house from Link's Awakening. Oh, l also made a teeny tiny, uber adorable Link for good measure, because what Legend of Zelda inspired diorama would be complete without the Hero, himself?
Did you know that I sell everything I make? That's right! If you're interested in owning any of my ... "art"... then just send me an email at notbcraftworks@gmail.com!
