Finished our original redesigns of Link and Zelda! Our redesigns are heavily based on Breath of the Wild, it's one of those games we wish we could forget all about so that we could experience playing it again for the first time. 🥺 We've wanted to do these redesigns as our own little tribute to one of our favorite games, and joining our friends for a Zelda group is the biggest motivator to get these done!

Link
We designed extra panels on his sleeves and the sides of his tunic, additional shoulder pieces, waist details, and mini sashes. Most of the tunic details are applique and probably took the longest time to finish. The belts are made of pleather and we modeled the little trinkets and printed with PLA. His pants have slash pockets. We modeled the master sword and the sheikah slate and printed them with PLA. We made the master sword detachable for easy transport and added mini rune details inspired by Tears of the Kingdom. We also made the sheikah slate as an oversized phone case to fit one of our phones.

Zelda
Our favorite original design on her is the central panel that has machine embroidery of the four divine beasts. We geeked out so much with this idea as we definitely got teary eyed when watching flashback moments of the four champions. The other gold details are heat-transfer vinyl that we designed based on the rune motifs from both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. We modeled her trinkets and printed them with PLA and embellished them with epoxy resin.
