Terrako (Egg Guardian)

Introduced in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Terrako is a diminutive egg-shaped guardian that travels back in time to rescue Zelda, causing a split timeline with the events that lead to Breath of the Wild. He seems to have a strong connection to the Princess…

This papercraft features a moving antenna piece on top of his head. Like in the game, it can bounce up and down. This mechanism is completely optional though, and if you don’t want it to move you can just stick one the pale pieces straight on.

The craft is rated 2/5 for difficulty as although it looks very simple, there are a couple of places that will be tricky for complete beginners. Installing the mechanism can be a little difficult, and making the narrow legs can be hard if approached in the wrong way. Check out the video for my recommended technique on this.

With the latest entry in the Animal Crossing series adding crafting, now’s the perfect time to start crafting in real life! Crafting isn’t the only addition in New Horizons either - Tom Nook’s  also sporting a new summery look that’s featured pride of place in this papercraft. 

The mini Tom Nook figure is a small one page craft that can be done alone, but he might need a little help to stand up without the base.

Appletun

Appletun is a new 8th generation Pokémon and the cutest apple pie dragon you’ve ever seen. You may be wondering if Appletun tastes as good as he looks but unfortunately this version isn’t edible. It does however make for a cute desk companion and a fun craft project.

The download includes two size options. The small version can be a little fiddly so go for the larger version if you’re not feeling too confident. The video below shows a build of the smaller version, but the piece layouts are largely the same, with some larger pieces cut into several sections.

Deku / Izuku Midoriya Papercraft

Deku is the main character in the anime My Hero Academia. He’s the successor to All Might and the inheritor of the one for all quirk. He’s a hard working and determined boy who wants to become the greatest hero.

This papercraft has a couple of fiddly parts in the arms and hands, but there are few parts overall. Deku’s unruly hair was difficult to capture in paper and the end result isn’t perfect. Capturing the many multi-directional curls might take a much larger, more complex model… But here’s an attempt at a small, simple one.

Undertale - Papyrus Papercraft

Papyrus from the hit indie game Undertale joins his brother Sans in paper form. Use this free template to build your own little model of your favourite human-hunter. Papyrus’ lankier frame makes this build a little more fiddly than Sans, but it’s still designed to be a simple and quick build.

Simple Zant

If you play The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess it seems like Zant, a power obsessed usurper, is the main villain. But anyone who knows Zelda might have a suspicion that darker forces are at work… Later in the game Zant sheds his creepy helmet and reveals his creepier face, as well as his more eccentric and lively personality.

If you can cast your mind back to the simpler year of 2015, it’s possible (although very unlikely) that you might remember this little papercraft. That craft featured Zant with all (or most) of his intricacies and tiny details. It was also a little tricky - I rated it hard, the highest of five difficulty ratings. This new craft takes Zant and reduces him to nearly a third of the pieces but keeps features like the removable helmet. Simplified and streamlined, Zant is now easier and quicker to recreate in paper form.

Hyrule Warriors Bombchu

Here's a fairly simple papercraft for you. It's quite large, but so are the pieces (for the most part), so it's not too fiddly. Bombchus made a return in Hyrule Warriors as gigantic mechanical bombs, with a much more detailed design than ever before. If you let one explode in one of your keeps, you'll lose it immediately, so be careful and destroy them before they can explode!

He explains the rules of competitions, gives out trophies to the winners of contests and freebies on days like Bonfire Night. Follow the build order on the template, and fully finish any limbs before attaching them to the main body. There are a few small parts, so keep some tweezers handy to help you out. Glue your finished Tortimer to the circle base to make sure he stands up.

Goddess Cube Chest

The Goddess Cubes and Chests are new items to the Zelda series introduced in Skyward Sword. When Link activates a cube with a Skyward Strike, the corresponding chest in the sky will activate and light up, allowing Link to open it.

Tips: build the top of the chest first, then add the bottom piece by piece. The finished chest should just sit on the four legs, or you can glue them down. Remember, you can refer to the .pdo file for help.
