Reddit user CactusComicsrecently showed off their own talent for cardboard art by sculpting Link entirely from the unusual material. And in the vein of the many otherThe Legend of Zeldafan works, the project’s final result came out absolutely stunning:

Not to mention pulling it all off with such a limited color palette. Hopefully they consider creating more characters in this style in the future.
