Link Amigurumi

Filed under: Arts & Crafts, Latest News, Merchandise, Nintendo |

I know this is impossibly cute , but first off, I had no idea what Amigurumi meant so I had to “Wiki it” to find out. The best way to describe it is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures.

Possibly because it is Link I think this is the best Amigurumi (check me out and my new vocabulary!) i’ve ever seen. The level of detail is almost unbelievable, even down to his Master Sword, Hylian Shield, Lon Lon Milk and Ocarina, which have also been pain stakenly recreated in miniture form.

The artist artoo1121 has recreated a whole bevy of Star Wars and Lord of the Ring characters to this cute Amigurumi style, which can all be viewed on his Flikr page. Also if you would like to purchace any of his work you can do so via his Etsy page, called Geek Central Station.
