Making the House from LINK'S AWAKENING // DIY Zelda Crafts
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
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!

How about Link as Super Sayan? Just a thought 🙃
The snap and scream when Link’s head slipped in the sculpting vice almost made me wake my partner up laughing. It was so unexpected that it was one of those laughs you just don’t have time to control 😅
I love your style. The subtle snark. The humor, and in the midst of it, a tutorial. You've got a great blend of entertainment and educational. A+ KZreadr!

A diorama of a game that basically looks like an interactive diorama an a clay sculpture of a character that looks like an animated clay sculpture. This was inevitable, glad I was here to witness it. The humor is a welcome plus.
I wish I was artstic enough to be able to accomplish anything remotley close to this. Great video as always! Look forward to the next one.

I’m a year late, but as an artist, talent is fake just do stuff you want to do and if it’s bad it doesn’t matter. If you make enough bad things you’ll eventually start making good things. There are no stakes and no one can stop you.
The quality of these builds are getting progressively higher every week. This is absolutely stunning!

I feel like you and Studson Studios are at war. You both upload at almost the same time, you both have similarity styles for vids, you do a lot of video game stuff rn. Idk, I prefer your voice and projects so your my fav, but I enjoy getting to watch your videos right after eachother.

3:29 is absolutely riveting and hilarious content, I’m a sucker for dry humour and this channels strong “If Ron from Parks and Recs made tiny nerdy things out of foam and stir-sticks instead of wood” energy

You didn’t paint his shield. And I LOVED IT, keep doing what your doing.

Lol at the Psycho brush scene and the subtle, unacknowledged neck snap.
Damn this thing was impressive, also I laughed out loud throughout the video, your sense of humour is great.
This is only channel that makes me finish watching diy stuff and get intertained and he makes the dioramas tagt I like and many other ppl likes that attracts more views and he has insane amount of pecience and never gets tired on making hundreds of anoying tiny parts
So satisfying to see Zelda comes alive! My favourite game indeed! Link’s awakening style 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Your feud with stir sticks is one for the ages!
I first started watching Studson Studio, but I watched almost all of his vids and was getting bored, but then I came here, and I’m impressed by how amazing and detailed your art is!
Adorable tiny house and tree and Link and cucco brings much joy. This is beautiful! Also the "thanks, English" bit - my son giggle-snorted and fell of his chair. Really appreciate how entertaining and creative these builds are!
This came out so great, I love it! Despite all the tension between the differently-placed-in-time Adam's, the single blades of grass do really look worth it 😁
"only eejits cut towards their digits" made me instantly subscribe
That’s the best derpy Link I’ve ever seen you make. The house is nice too I guess.
I had this whole gushing compliment of your video ready to go... but all I can write now is using the decapitated head of the brush to paint the body. Bravo sir!
