Nintendo fed me so good with that second trailer for Tears of the Kingdom / Breath of the Wild 2 so I figured I'd share the love. Word out on the street is that there's a leaked Tears of the Kingdom art book and I have a fixation for it already, so expect another video on it soon. I will be extra careful to not spoil anything for unwilling participants, though, lol! I would absolutely love to make more Legend of Zelda Crafts, so let me know what else you'd like to see should any ideas cross your mind! Brace yourself for when Tears of the Kingdom comes out because I will absolutely make every possible thing I can from that game with NO remorse.
If you have any suggestions for a DIY craft, miniature model, diorama or otherwise from games (such as The Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild, Pokémon, any Souls games, Stardew Valley, Among us, Kirby, Minecraft, etc.) or shows (any anime, Studio Ghibli, etc.) then be sure to leave it in the comments below! Or, if you have any questions about the tools I use, or polymer clay in general, feel free to ask and I will help in any way possible!

If you heard a song you liked from this video, most of the music I used is from their Zelda and Chill albums:

You really inspired me to try a few clay crafts myself because despite the frustrations, you always seem to have fun with everything you do! Thank you again for showing your talents

[@lawrencefuller1856]

I've been watching your videos and am totally blown away by your polymer clay crafting! You are awesome! Your sculpting techniques have me jealous and wanting to create as well! The only time I've sculpted with polymer was making one inch scale fruit and other foods for a miniature shadow box of a turn of the century sundry shop. Thank you for sharing your work! I look forward to watching them all! And, perhaps someday I will get myself a Switch and play the games!

[@CrossingCrafts]

I'm so glad you've been enjoying the videos!! Sculpting at any scale is pretty fun, I'm not good at making tiny food items but that's actually how I learned polymer clay existed in the first place! I'm always amazed at how realistic they can look! If you do end up getting a switch, you must tell me how you enjoy the games! Breath of the Wild is a _must_ and Animal Crossing: New Horizons is fun as well! Thank you for your comment Lawrence!

[@miriaml.8742]

Hi, i just discovered your channel and I’m absolutely in love with it!❤️ I have a little experience with crafting and modelling, but I’m really inspired now to try it more professionally. I love TOTK so much!!🥲✨ Question: when you crate the layer of skin with fimo, how does it get hard? Can you just put it in the oven with the aluminium foil under it?

[@CrossingCrafts]

I'm so glad you're enjoying!! TotK is absolutely the perfect opportunity to start crafting, go for it! You must show me whatever you create, but to answer your question, for most of the process for this big guy I didn't bake him, but the combination of using isopropyl alcohol and acetone hardened up the first layer just a tad bit. I use acetone to remove big gashes and larger imperfections, it basically melts away the top layer of clay, and I use isopropyl alcohol to remove smaller imperfections as well as removing tiny pieces of fabric (or dog hair) as well as dust that get stuck to the clay as I work on it. Every brand of clay is different, I usually use the cheapest brands I can find, but I have found that 240 Fahrenheit/115 Celsius for 15-30 minutes (depending on how thick the clay is) works very well for me and my oven! You can absolutely just put it in the oven with some aluminum foil under it, I always put it on a baking tray with aluminum foil so it stays even. For this guy I actually baked him with the wooden sculpture stand to make sure his position didn't get messed up! And since I bake at such a low temp, the wood was fine to be in the oven :) Hope this helped and if you have any other questions feel free to ask!

[@ZelinkofHyrule]

Can you do a hyrule castle replica, that would be a awesome thing to see, take as long as you want to make it.

[@CrossingCrafts]

That would be incredibly difficult although I’ve definitely thought of doing it before. Maybe when I get a little bigger, but it’s on the list for sure!

[@CrossingCrafts]

[@charcoal6017]

I am kinda curious.. What kind of clays are used? Like, what brand specifically?

[@CrossingCrafts]

I use the cheapest brand of clay you can find at Michaels called Craftsmart! In some of my other builds you see me using white clay and then painting it, that clay is original sculpey!

[@linctheduck3886]

How did you do that with 2 pictures but I couldn’t do that with the actual game

[@chrisatherton9835]

How did you get the tounge to look so reflective

[@CrossingCrafts]

[@supper208]

What clay do you use

[@CrossingCrafts]

I typically use sculpey original for any sculpture that starts white and gets painted to add color, but for this one in particular I used craft smart colored clay and mixed it with sculpey original!
