Picross 3D - Shiba Inu

Picross 3D is a 2009/10 DS game that took 2D picross puzzles into three dimensions. The player chips away the unneeded cubes to leave behind a blocky shape. This papercraft is of one of the puzzles - a dog which is featured on the cover art and title screen of the game. 
It's a simple papercraft with very few parts, but can be slightly fiddly due to the number of awkward angles in the model. Check out the video guide below for help and remember you will need to score every fold. If you print the lineless version, take extra care with this! You may have to take a few measurements to ensure your folds are in the right place.

Hyrule Warriors Bombchu

Here's a fairly simple papercraft for you. It's quite large, but so are the pieces (for the most part), so it's not too fiddly. Bombchus made a return in Hyrule Warriors as gigantic mechanical bombs, with a much more detailed design than ever before. If you let one explode in one of your keeps, you'll lose it immediately, so be careful and destroy them before they can explode!

Captain Toad

Captain Toad first appeared as the leader of the Toad Brigade in Super Mario Galaxy and Galaxy 2. Since then he has appeared in Super Mario 3D World, with a slight redesign and a unique set of levels. These levels involved guiding Captain Toad (who cannot jump) through puzzle dioramas, collecting stars along the way. This concept was later expanded on and Captain Toad got his very first game as a main character with Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

Valoo

Valoo is a character from the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. He lives atop Dragon Roost Island and protects the Rito tribe that also resides there. When a Rito comes of age, they travel to the top of Dragon Roost to receive a scale from Valoo that enables them to grow their wings. When Link first travels to the island a monster is torturing Valoo, preventing young Rito from getting their wings. Link must defeat the monster using Valoo’s tail in the very first boss battle of the game.

The papercraft stands at about 12cm tall, depending on how high up you position the head. It wasn’t created in Pepakura, so unfortunately there is no .pdo to help with construction, but for help there are full diagram instructions with the recommended build order, and check out the finished build picture for the positioning of parts.

Pipit

Pipit is a Zelda character who made an appearance in Skyward Sword. He is a graduate of the Knight Academy in Skyloft, the winner of the Wing Ceremony the year before Link. He lives in Skyloft with his mother, Mallara, and can be found patrolling around the Academy at night. The papercraft is fairly complex, so make sure you have some papercraft experience before attempting it. Once you’ve done the first two pages though, it is a pretty straightforward build. The base is entirely optional, he will stand up without it or weights.

This papercraft features Zant, a character from the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The self-proclaimed King of Twilight, he overthrows Midna and tries to invade Hyrule and conquer the world of light, aided by Ganondorf. The final two pages (making up the helmet) are a little trickier and are optional. If you decide to make the helmet, it is fully removable and just sits on Zant’s shoulders.
