The Legend of Zeldafans have created many spectacular pieces of art inspired by their favorite games over the years, but one polymer clay diorama stands out from every angle. One Redditor has taken a striking piece ofThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildconcept art showing Link facing down a Lynel and brought it to life.
Notably, the Redditor pygmyfart has made at least oneBreath of the Wilddiorama before this, showcasing Link in battle with a Guardian. Like Lynels, Guardians are among the most dangerous enemies in the game, and there are plenty offacts that gamers do not know aboutBreath of the WildGuardians. However, this previous diorama was not modeled after existing concept art, which places a different kind of pressure on an artist.

Redditor pygmyfart recorded the sculpting process and uploaded the video to his YouTube account, whereZeldafans can watch him turn lumps of clay, wire, and wood. The finished sculpture shows Link bracing himself for battle with a Lynel that, true to the game, is about twice his height and roughly eight times his size. This sculpture is much smaller than theToon Link sand sculpturethat another fan built at the beach, but it makes up for its lack of size by being incredibly detailed. U/pygmyfart went out of his way to add in Link’s individual belts and belt buckles and create a texture resembling horsehair on the Lynel’s back.
Breath of the Wildis an incredible game that many games seem to copy, so it’s no surprise that fans are creating such intricate and gorgeous tributes to it. This stunning diorama will be right at home among a vast number of lovingly crafted pieces inspired by Link, his adventures, and his many enemies. The accompanying video will be a great help to any fan who wants to create their own Lynel or Link sculptures.
Again, there is no shortage of impressive fan creations. Another impressive fan-made tribute to theZeldagames made in the last few months is an enormousdomino art project dedicated toThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. These two pieces stand not just as breathtaking tributes to legendary games, but as a testament to the wonders that fans can create.
