Get in the Halloween Spirit With This Super Realistic Skull Kid Puppet
Posted on October 01 2021 by John Piland
If you ask a fan which Zelda game gives off the creepiest vibes, there’s probably a good chance they’ll say Majora’s Mask. This is thanks, in part, to its dark atmosphere, complex themes, and tragic characters. For these elements and more, Majora’s Mask is still regarded by many fans as being one of the eeriest in the franchise.
Considering the creepiness of Majora’s Mask, it should come as no surprise that a super realistic puppet of one of its lead characters, Skull Kid, sends shivers down the spine. Although, to some, such a puppet may just be a tad cuter than it is creepy. Whatever the case, it’s hard to deny that this Skull Kid puppet by Instagram puppeteer Miserable Beasts is a stunning display of craftsmanship and attention to detail, with it even featuring 3D textures in areas covered by clothing.
If this craft tickles your fancy, Miserable Beasts has more Zelda puppets to show, such as Link and Koume and Kotake from Ocarina of Time.
