3D 8-Bit Compass

Based on the sprites from The Legend of Zelda, the compass is an item that is found in each of the various dungeons in the game. Once you find it, it will point out treasure chests and the location of the boss on the map.

Tips: Follow the number order and take take when sealing the base with the last piece. Don't forget you need to score every fold, so use the lined version as a reference if you want to work with the lineless version.

Armos (Wind Waker)

Armos have appeared in many Zelda games to date. In Wind Waker, the best strategy to defeat them is to shoot them in the eye, paralysing it and enabling Link to attack the gem on their backs. Link can also sneak around the back to attack their weak spot.

Tips: Build from the top down. Take your time when gluing the smallest parts, and wait for the glue to dry before moving on to the next flap. After testbuilding, I found it easier to stick on the spikes without flaps. To do this, just apply a small amount of glue to edge you want to stick and if you use PVA glue you'll find it will attach quite quickly and easily.

Niko (Wind Waker)

Niko is one of Tetra's pirates in The Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker. He is the lowest-ranking member of the pirates - at least until Link comes along.

Tips: Start with the top of the head and build down. Build the arms from the hands up to the shoulders, and then attach to the body. Do the same with the legs, build feet up and attach them once fully built. You may want to put a little glue on the arms to help hold them in the position you want. You will probably need to put some weights in his feet to help him stand up.

David Jr. (Wind Waker)

David Jr. appears in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Minish Cap. He helps Tingle and dresses up like him and his bothers, Ankle and Knuckle, but is not actually related to any of them.

Tips: Build from the head down. The arms and legs can be tricky, so when you get to them build from the hands or feet upwards, and complete the whole limb before attaching it to the body and carrying on. You will probably need to use weights to help it stand up, and seal it at his bottom.

Wind Waker Rat

This papercraft is of the rats that appear in the Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker. These sneaky little critters will attack Link and attempt to steal some of his Rupees, or sell him various items if he scatters All-purpose Bait in front of one of their holes.

Tips: The difficulty of this craft is about medium. The parts on the template are numbered, so follow that if you need help. Sealing off can be very fiddly, so take your time and use a cocktail stick or something small and thin to get into the gaps. Cut out the eyes from their black background and stick them to head. Bend the tooth in the middle, put some glue along the top and press it to the roof of the mouth. This should be enough to hold it in place.

3D 8-Bit Zelda

This is a 3D papercraft based on the 2D sprite of Princess Zelda from the original Legend of Zelda game on the NES. She makes her only appearance at the very end of the game, after Link has defeated Ganon and retrieved the Triforce. The small version requires less printing (and space), but is more fiddly so I recommend the larger version.
