Zelda models by William
12-05-2013: William sent me another picture, showing some new papercraft models he made since last time! ;o)
In the background, right next to Beast Ganon, is my very own Menu Link, the adult version from Ocarina of Time!
And in the top left, you can see the Moon from Majora’s Mask!
It actually took William quite some time to track that one down, because there were different versions at one time, but most of the original download links are gone now… :o(
And once William finally did manage to find a working download link, it turned out the template was incomplete, so he had to improvise and use one of the pages twice to make a complete Moon!
So that was a bit troublesome, but luckily William was able to overcome the problem with some smart thinking. ;o)
Most of the other paper models in the picture are the ones William already showed us before, except maybe one: I think the “Donkey Kong” poster on the wall in the background might actually not be just a poster, but the papercraft diorama piece made by Linkdude101 on Nintendo Papercraft!
16-10-2012: As you can see in this picture, William from Sweden made several more papercraft models since last time, including my own young Princess Zelda!
The other, new paper models you can see are made by billybob884:
Especially that last one took up much of his spare time the last three months, but if you see this group picture, you’ll agree that it was time well spent! ;o)
26-03-2012: William built not one, but two new models since last time: picture
The first one is young Link, who was just minding his own business, no doubt on his way to the next adventure, when a big bully suddenly blocked the road (read: bookshelf).
That big bully was of course Ganondorf, but even though he’s almost twice as big as young Link, I think he’s going to regret bullying Link like that… ;o)
04-01-2012: William from Sweden found my papercraft webpage by accident, but he liked the paper models so much that he decided to try it out himself!
These are the two paper models he built: picture
One is Majora’s Mask, and it’s hard to see, but he even made a small loop on its back so he can hang it on his wall.
I know what you’re thinking of course, but I think William doesn’t have to be afraid of Majora‘s evil powers in the mask: Fierce Deity Link will deal with Majora if he tries anything suspicous! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
Ocarina of Time adult Link by Metallica005
08-04-2013: Although my papercraft Ocarina of Time adult Link has “only” 57 parts (including the Hylian Shield and the Master Sword), Metallica005 says it felt like there were 100! ;o)
It took him 8 hours to fold and glue them all together, but with the experience he has in making cosplay props (as you can see on his DeviantArt page: link), it’s no surprise that his papercraft Link turned out great too!
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Batman Flash repaint (and many others!) by David Penso
15-03-2013: David still wasn’t done with Batman, but this time he wasn’t making Batman, but Flash, another comic book hero!
Just as he made Lara into the Black Widow earlier, he took the parts of my papercraft Batman and repainted them into the distinctive red and gold colours of Flash!
And as you can see, since Flash is just as muscular as Batman in the comic books, it looks pretty good! ;o)
13-11-2012: After a few people made my papercraft Batman out of aluminium beverage cans, David made a regular, paper one again: picture
He glued on the left arm a little crooked, but instead of changing it, he made a little Batarang and put it in Batman’s hand so it looks like he’s about to throw it! ;o)
05-06-2012: Some time ago, David contacted me about the possibility of recolouring my papercraft Tomb Raider Legend Lara to make her look like Natasha Romanova (Black Widow) from Marvel’s Avengers series.
And as you can see, he decided to pursue the idea, and now you can see the result: picture
David really did a great job! I think Lara looks great as Black Widow, with the contrasting black catsuit and the red/aubern hair, which is kinda her trademark I guess. ;o)
David even added some extra strips of orange paper to give Black Widow some more/fuller hair, and for the final finishing touch, he used the bullet bracelets and belt buckle parts from the My Paper Heroes Black Widow toy: link
15-12-2011: This time, David built my papercraft model of Indiana Jones: professor of archeology, expert on the occult, and ‘obtainer of rare antiqueties‘ (in other words, a tomb raider ;o)
You can see a picture of David’s paper Indy here: picture
Of course he has his trusty fedora and shoulder bag, his whip, his gun, and a machete to cut through the jungles of Peru.
Everything an adventurer needs to save the world from certain doom. ;o)
15-11-2011: This year, Thanksgiving falls on November 24th, and as you can see, David has already been making preparations: picture
He made a small Thanksgiving display for the office where he works with the papercraft Thanksgiving turkey from the SpaceStation42 (I think he made the turkey’s legs himself) and his Homer Simpson paper model.
But although a papercraft turkey isn’t edible of course, Homer doesn’t seem to realize that…
(or perhaps, Homer being Homer, he just doesn’t care that it’s only a paper turkey… ;o)
11-11-2011: Only a day after the last one, David sent me another picture of a papercraft model he built, this time of Homer Simpson!
David did a great job putting it together, but I’m not sure he should leave Homer alone with a pair of scissors, though; knowing Homer, that combination can’t possibly end very well…
10-11-2011: After Mario, David built another one of my papercraft models: the Great White shark from the Tomb Raider II video game: picture
It’s one of the first models I made using Pepakura Designer, because I really like the polygonal/blocky look of the classic Tomb Raider games!
And I kinda like sharks, and although I’m not sure Lara does too (to be honest, I never almost got eaten by one…) I’m glad David does! ;o)
13-07-2011: It’s always fun to welcome a new co-worker at the office, and especially if it’s Paper Mario!
This one was built by David Penso, and from the looks of it, Mario‘s already feeling at home: picture ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
Zelda models by Jose Vazquez
15-02-2013: Jose built my papercraft Twilight Link before, but as you can see, this time he made some changes so he could put his arm in a different position!
This way, Link can be in a more relaxed stance (maybe a bit too relaxed even…? ;o)
picture
Jose also opened up the top of the sheath on Link’s back, so the Master Sword can be put inside: picture
Why he needed to do that? Well, it’s so that Link can also use other weapons like this Ball and Chain from the Paper Zelda website: picture
It’s a good thing it’s only made from paper, because otherwise getting hit by that thing would cause some serious headaches…! ;o)
18-11-2012: Here’s another Ocarina of Time adult/Menu Link), this time built by Jose Vazquez: picture
As you can see, Jose even made it so that he can put the Hylian Shield on Link’s back and the Master Sword into the scabbard.
Adult/Menu Link is not the first paper model that Jose built: some other papercraft models of mine that he built include Epona and Link, Twilight Link, Zora armor Link (which he modified a bit just like Toni Müller did) and even Super Smash Bros. Melee Link!
Jose also built lots of paper models from other people too, like another Ocarina of Time Link (from Icthus7), a Hylian Knight (from Nintendo Papercraft) and a recoloured Twilight Princess > Skyward Sword Link (from Paper Zelda): group picture
You can also see a few videos of Jose’s builds on his YouTube channel, so be sure to check it out: link
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!

Majora’s Mask by Burusai & ShinigamiVermont
03-02-2013: Burusai made this papercraft Majora’s Mask and picture together with her friend ShinigamiVermont!
The way it seems to be floating in mid air makes the already mesmerizing eyes look even more eerie…
I hope they know what they’re doing, because even if it’s two against one, the powers of Majora’s Mask aren’t to trifled with…! ;o)
If you want to see more of Burusai’s and ShinigamiVermont’s artwork, you can check out their DeviantArt galleries: Burusai | ShinigamiVermont
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
Majora’s Mask & Clocktown Schnauzer by rebeccartist
29-01-2013: rebeccartist took up papercraft as a hobby about two years ago, and one of the paper models she built since then is my Majora’s Mask!
Originally, she built the mask in black and white, but she used acrylic paint togive it its mesmerizing colours! ;o)
Another one of the paper models that rebeccartist built so far, is the Clocktown Schnauzer; that one was a bit difficult to build she says, maybe because it’s quite small?
As you can see, it easily fits in the palm of her hand: picture
Rebeccartist tells me she would like to build lots more papercraft models, so maybe you’ll find them if you visit her DeviantArt gallery in the future: link ? ;o)
And with a nickname like rebeccartist, it won’t surprise you that she likes doing other arts and crafts as well, so you can always take a look at some of the drawings, paintings and even a small woven basket she made! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
Sora, Homer and Majora’s Mask by Daniel
24-01-2013: Daniel got himself a new printer, so he can finally print and build his papercraft models in full colour now!
And that’s exactly what he did with my papercraft Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora! ;o)
He was a little worried about building the spiky hair, now that it’s all done, he says it was surprisingly easy to build and everything went together perfectly: picture 2
I think you can tell Daniel put in a lot of work to do the best job he could on his papercraft Sora, because everything from the hands (which are always a bit tricky because of the small fingers!) to Sora’s Kingdom Key keyblade looks really great! ;o)
Oh alright then; because he did such a good job, here’s one final picture of Daniel’s papercraft Sora: picture 5 ! ;o)
18-06-2012: Daniel built another one of my models: Homer Simpson: picture
Because he could only print the templates in black-and-white, he had to paint it himself, and I have to say he did an amazing job:! I never would have guessed! ;o)
Daniel started with the shoes and pants, then the shirt and arms and then the head. He was a bit worried the fingers would be difficult, but luckily he didn’t have any trouble making them.
He thinks the eyes on his paper Homer look a little bit weird, but maybe Homer has just had a little bit too much Duff beer…? ;o)
21-12-2011: 24 year old Daniel Navarro from Venezuela built Majora’s Mask: picture
It was only the second papercraft model he made, so he printed it on regular printer paper to use it as a kind of practice and to save the thicker cardstock paper he has for other paper models he wants to do (and it’s in grey colours because he ran into printer problems… ;o)
He’s pretty happy with the results though, and I agree with him: even without colours, he did a good job building it and I think he can safely try doing more complex models too! ;o)
Thank you for building thes Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
King of Red Lions by Artemis-san
05-01-2013: Artemis-san started building her papercraft King of Red Lions boat on New Year’s Eve, and although some parts of it are quite tricky, it only took her a few days to finish! ;o)
And as you can see, she did a really great job too! But what I really like about it, are the pictures she took, making it look like the King of Red Lions is sailing in thin air! ;o)
You can see the pictures in Artemis-san’s DeviantArt gallery here, as well as her other artworks!
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
Wolf Link by DestinyShirshuXD
16-12-2012: Wanting wolf Link‘s colours to be a bit brighter, DestinyShirshuXD decided to paint over the original textures after building it!
I think the new paintjob looks fantastic, so the extra work DestinyShirshuXD put into it was well worth it! ;o)
To see a much bigger picture and more of DestinyShirshuXD’s papercraft models and other artworks, you can visit her DeviantArt gallery here: link

Final Fantasy models and Batman by Stephen
02-12-2012: In the picture above, you can see the first 2 papercraft models Stephen ever made: my Kingdom Hearts version of Final Fantasy VII’s Cloud Strife and my The Animated Series version of Batman!
They’re not the only papercraft models he made, though:
- Here’s a picture of Final Fantasy VII’s Red XIII (made by Kaizo)
- And here’s a picture of Final Fantasy VII’s Sephiroth (also made by Kaizo)
Stephen did a great job building these papercraft models, and I think he’s a big Final Fantasy fan, so these are probably only the tip of the iceberg! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ (and other people’s!) papercraft models!
Clock Town Schnauzer by Jose (R15ABRAHAM)
26-11-2012: This cute paper dog is the Schnauzer that’s always chasing Link near the Clock Tower in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask!
It was built by Jose, but because Jose doesn’t speak and write English very well, he made a very funny mistake at first in the description of the picture: he called it the dog from Clown Town! ;o)
But actually if you think about it, it’s not *that* strange a mistake, because some of the people that Link meets in Clock Town really do act like clowns sometimes…! ;o)
If you want to see some other papercraft models that Jose built, you can check out his DeviantArt gallery here: link
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
Legend of Zelda models by Sean Fogarty
28-11-2012: You can never have too many papercraft Links, Sean must have thought! ;o)
From left to right in the back row you can see a few Links from my own papercraft webpage:
- Super Smash Bros. Melee Link
- Twilight Princess Link
- Ocarina of Time adult/Menu Link
- Majora’s Mask young Link
And in the front row, you can see two papercraft Links made by Chokipeta as a bonus gift in the Japanese Nintendo magazine Dengeki some years ago:
- Wind Waker Link
- Four Sword Adventures Link
But even though they’re all from different games, as you can see, they’re getting along very nicely! ;o)
14-11-2012: Another group picture of papercraft Link(s): picture
This time it’s Epona Link, Melee Link, and the new Menu Link that I only finished a few days ago!
Epona Link and Melee Link are models that Sean already built earlier, and he only needs to do a few more parts on Menu Link and then he’ll have finished all three regular adult Links I made so far. ;o)
05-11-2012: Now here’s something you don’t see in your average Zelda game…: picture
Ocarina of Time Epona Link, Super Smash Bros. Melee Link, and Majora’s Mask Link have killed a big wolf and are planning to eat its head…?!
But hopefully they will realize that the wolf is actually wolf Link, the alternate form of Twilight Princess Link (“Um, guys…?”) and refrain from eating him…! ;o)
18-10-2012: Sean told me about the new papercraft models he made earlier, and here’s a picture of his 2 favourite models: picture
You’ll recognize them as Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Auron, from Final Fantasy X of course. ;o)
They’re both characters that don’t take any nonsense, so it’s a good thing Sean did such a great job building them! ;o)
Update 14-10-2012: Sean tells me he has been quite busy, building two of my most challenging papercraft models (which both happen to be Legend of Zelda models) namely Super Smash Bros. Melee Link and wolf Link!
He also built the black mage Lulu, from Final Fantasy X , but of course he’s still a Zelda fan, so he also built Majora’s Mask and a Spirit Tracks Phantom, from the Paper Zelda website. ;o)
Update 18-08-2012: Sean has been busy building Sora, Cloud and Auron as well! (he tells me Auron is his new, favourite papercraft model! ;o)
Videos of Sora are already on his Youtube channel again (video 1 | video 2) and more videos are on the way! ;o)
Update 12-07-2012: Sean let me know that he made two other papercraft Zelda models besides the two already mentioned!
Before making Twilight Link, he already made Zora armor Link, and after young Link, he also made Oni Link. ;o)
He uploaded a new video of those two here: link
Don’t forget to check out his other videos, he has some tips on building young Link too! ;o)
11-07-2012: Sean told me about a video he made of the papercraft Majora’s Mask young Link that he built!
Here’s a screenshot of it, and the full video can be found here: link
But wait: Sean built Twilight Princess Link too! ;o) That video can be on his Youtube channel as well: link
That one took him about 4 days to make, and I think he did a great job on both of them!
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
Sora + Zelda models by Angélique
23-11-2012: Angélique showed me this picture of my papercraft Sora that she built, taken on top of her keyboard synthesizer!
Maybe Sora is a bit confused, because a keyboard is completely different from a keyblade of course…! ;o)
Because Angélique normally builds much bigger papercraft models, Sora was a bit more challenging than she was used to, but as you can see, Sora turned out really great nonetheless: picture 2 | picture 3
And now you are all probably dying to see all the other papercraft models built by Angélique?
Well you’re in luck, because she made a whole site dedicated to her papercraft hobby: Papercraft Lilik ! ;o)
If you look in the Zelda section there, you can see a few more of my papercraft models that Angélique built, like Epona and Link, Midna, young Link from Majora’s Mask, young princess Zelda and Twilight Link, but be sure to visit the rest of Angelique’s papercraft weblog as well to see all her other models!
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ (and other people’s! ;o) papercraft models!
Zelda models by Ray Tha Man
22-11-2012: I made a few papercraft Links before, but this is the latest one (Ocarina of Time adult/Menu Link), built by Ray Tha Man! ;o)
As you can see, it turned out really great! Ray also built my King of Red Lions earlier: picture
The figurehead was the hardest part on that one, but it looks very good as well! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models!
Skyward Impa by Lisa
20-11-2012: Lisa from Germany built my papercraft young Impa from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword!
Lisa’s paper Impa turned out really good, but that’s probably because Lisa is so creative: you can see lots of her paintings, drawings and other projects in her DeviantArt gallery: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!

Epona & Link by Rijali
05-11-2012: Rijali from Indonesia sent me this picture of the papercraft Epona and Link that he built!
He even scaled down the templates a bit by printing them on A5 paper instead of A4 paper!
He says he found it easy to build and when it was finished, it looked great!
I have to agree with him when I see the picture, Rijali really did a great job building Epona and Link! ;o)
Here’s a picture from the other side: picture 2
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
Paper Mario by Papercraft Indonesia
14-08-2012: Papercraft is very popular in Indonesia (no doubt for a large part thanks to the Paper-Replika website! ;o) and here is more proof!
This picture of my papercraft Mario (and several other papercraft models from various websites! ;o) was posted by PapercraftID (Papercraft Indonesia) some time ago on their Twitter account: link
Although the hands weren’t finished yet in this picture, Papercraft Mario already looks really good I think! ;o)
If you want to see more of PapercraftID‘s pictures, you can look up their Twitter account with posted images here: link
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
Cloud by Sotong Kring
14-10-2012: Sotong Kring just keeps building and building, it seems! ;o) Here’s a new paper model built by him already: Cloud Strife!
From this angle, you can really see how huge the Buster Sword is: you wouldn’t want to run into that if you were Cloud’s enemy…
Another great build by Sotong Kring!
13-10-2012: A few days ago, Sotong Kring sent me a picture of the paper Mario he built, but now he showed me two new pictures of models he also built!
One of them is Underworld Lara, and Sotong Kring took a beautiful picture of her: picture
Lara seems to have made it out of the shark infested waters, and is now making her way through the jungle in search of some ancient temple ruins…
And the other one is a T-Rex dinosaur, who seems to have already met Lara (seeing as it is already feets up: picture ;o)
Two more great builds by Sotong Kring!
10-10-2012: Sotong Kring tells me he’s a fan of my blog, because he can find many papercraft models through it.
And as you can see, one of the paper models he found, was my very own papercraft Mario: picture ;o)
I think Sotong’s paper Mario looks really wonderful, and from the looks of it, Mario himself is pretty happy with the job Sotong did too! ;o)
Thank you for building a Ninjatoes’ papercraft model!
Oni Link versus Twilight Link by Samuel Herrera
02-10-2012: Samuel Herrera made an absolutely amazing stop-motion video of Fierce Deity Link battling Twilight Hero Link: video link
It turns out, Fierce Deity Link en Twilight Hero Link are both after the same treasure, and when they finally meet in the final room of the Sacred Living Room Dungeon, they fight to decided who gets the “ultimate” prize… ;o)
Of course paper models are no action figures, so it’s not so easy to make a stop-motion video of them, but Samuel did a great job!
For Zelda fans, there are lots of recognizable sound effects and visual effects, and although it must have taken Samuel a lot of time, you can really see he must have had a lot of fun making it! ;o)
Thank you for building these Ninjatoes’ papercraft models! (and making a video out of them! ;o)
