Learn to Make an Adorable Link’s Awakening Clay Diorama
Posted on October 05 2019 by Alexis S. Anderson
No doubt many of us are already well into our playthroughs of Link’s Awakening on Switch. I for one am still bubbling over with excitement about the title and am overwhelmed by its cuteness. There’s no better outlet for that energy than an artistic homage, and YouTube’s Clay Snipper has given me major inspiration with her recent Link’s Awakening clay diorama tutorial. Check out her video to learn how to make a clay Link and a little island for him to perch on.
Clay Snipper makes this look a lot easier than it probably is, but the final product is like a take on the new Link Amiibo with your own personal flare. I haven’t worked with the wood foam clay that she used for the island base, but I recommend using Sculpey for Link since it comes in small, affordable packs anyone can pick up to try out a project like this.
If you enjoyed the video, Clay Snipper also has tutorials for a Guardian and Zelda from Breath of the Wild, as well as a host of other video game characters.
Do you think you’ll try to make one of these little Links? Are there any other Zelda characters or creatures you’d like to see Clay Snipper sculpt? Share your thoughts in the comments!
