How to make the Majora's Mask Clock Tower // Zelda Crafts

Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda game, so I made the Clock Tower as a real-life clock that tells Earth time and isn't just a three day death timer running on weird Termina time. This is build to 28mm tabletop scale and doubles as tabletop terrain, whilst also being a functional clock that's just for lookin', no touchin'. This video topic was voted on by my Patrons. They have good taste.

I absolutely love the decision to make this into a working clock! Now you've got me wanting to make my own Majora's Mask themed clock. Also I feel like you now need to do something from Twilight Princess to make up for the near-death experience you just gave it.

You're not just a interesting crafter, you're also amazing at the video editing and creative presentation of the craft! Also, is it weird to say I really love the name-songs? Even if I'm not in them (yet, teehee! Next video I'm told!), I just like jamming to them.

[@antonblake1476]

I was just thinking yesterday “hey it’s been a bit since we’ve had a Studson build.” So pleased to see this pop up so soon afterward! I’ve also been thinking about how neat it would be to see either of the Ancient Tech Labs from BotW, they feel like they’d be so perfect for your style of crafting!

[@brittcode9127]

Just when I think "Oh man he can't make anything cooler and more specific to my interests than THIS" you put out another video and it blows my mind. Your sense of humour and mad crafting skills make these videos a joy to watch!! I think it would be neat if you did one (or a few) of the bright, cartoon-y islands from Wind Waker. Love your work!!

[@brummelbar]

[@DarkLink107]

Studson you made one of the best videos on the internet - Majora's Mask is one of the best games of all time. I can't tell you how happy this makes so many people!!

[@MMMayhem]

Another banger from lord Studson! Seeing the transformation at the end was really satisfying. Majora's mask always seemed more interesting than ocarina of time when I watched my cousins play on their N64 when I was a kid.

[@StudsonStudio]

It's a good one. One of the only Zeldas that steps away from the standard triforce/hero of time storyline and it's a breath of welcome air.

[@djtx14]

I spent $100 on Amazon buying craft supplies because I binge watched your channel in 2 days, and now I wanna do it

[@atakiri]

Your edits and jokes are always on point, but the Happy-Mask-Salesman-shaking-Link was SO satisfying, and the "I'm [name] and you're watching Disney Channel" reference actually made me hit my leg in public

Thank you! I almost recorded "My name is Hilary Duff and you're watching Studson Studio."

[@arokhun]

I just came here because I love Majora's Mask but goddamn, your crafting and video editing skills are beyond believeable (as well as your comedic timing). The fact that the Clocktower is fully functional aswell is just the cherry on top. I'm speechless, in love and a new sub.

[@rougnashi]

Welcome friend. Much humor, shenanigans, and beauty awaits.

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Eat your greens! The coffee can with rocks is such a fantastic way to give your foam bricks texture, I've filed that tip away for future use! Thanks! The stencil designs that you airbrushed onto the clock tower look wicked. Lastly, nice touch with the soldering iron/hot rod/heat stick/face stabber. Great build overall!

[@eduujulio]

Can I just say how well edited these videos are? Along with your amazing narration skills and the overall fun nature of your videos, I keep looking forward to everything you post, man. Keep this up!

[@JayFolipurba]

The editing is as always genius. You're teetering on the edge of overediting, but yet somehow you manage to make it just perfect. Perfectly accompanying another great project

Studson uses cheesy sound effects but makes it classy. That is a talent not many have, superb work

[@MignonOficina]

Majora's mask is the prettiest zelda game, this is soooo good! The craft and the editing are amazing.

I would argue it’s the most hideous lol, but that’s not a bad thing. Twilight princess is the prettiest IMO

Entertaining in every aspect and a joy to watch. I want you to make like every building from every game I played as a kid (Monkey Island, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango and so on) and all great movies there is. The flying castle is the most amazing build I’ve ever seen on KZbin! It even made me want to see the movie and I’m not a huge fan of manga. My only problem is that I just want to see more content than there is available 🙂 Absolutely love all your work!
