Hmmm. This gives me an idea. You could make the classic minecraft mob mountain wallpaper thing… You know what I’m taking about right?

[@Lokoroko26]

I love how he calls Link's arm "frostbitten" because back he only knew what he could see on the revealed box art

[@3DPlasticFantasy]

That's a nice change from nightmare fuel creations. When Adam mentioned Earthworm Jim, he triggered a nostalgia. A project related to retro would be so cool.

[@derpious267]

It is nightmare fuel! Check it at 4:31!

[@semanticalman7802]

Oh hell yeah, I would love it if he made earthworm jim

[@recoveringsoul755]

the creator of Jim has a channel, kept getting taken down because he was talking about politics, not approved politics I guess. Now he's not really showing his face

[@Salted_Tequila]

"Add some wrinkles around the ankles" My brain: ".....wrankles." All jokes aside, this looks awesome Adam. I'm so hyped for this, I hope not everything is Skyloft style and its still got the charm of the original BotW.

[@gumdropgardens]

"Wrinkles around the wrankles" is flowing through my mind like a terrible pop song

[@randomguywholikesstuff6536]

Getting some of that Thew Addams energy here.

[@recoveringsoul755]

lol, I sprained my ankle really bad last day of August, then we had a heat wave, and my ankle swelled up from the injury and retaining water. It's OK now, but it was weird seeing my normally bony ankles just disappear into cankles. My toes were so swollen I couldn't even wiggle them.

Your Zelda/Link themed builds are my absolute *favourite* !! Not to say I don't love a good cursed monster build as much as the next fan, because I absolutely do, but the teeny tiny temple of time, and the guardian have been my absolute favs of yours so far. Now I can add this to my favs too. Thanks for sharing your genius talents and off the wall sense of humour with us every week!! The details you add are always stunning too.

As someone who’s been watching your channel for almost a year now, I have to say the amount of quality content you post consistently nearly every week is mind boggling, and always a treat to watch

[@dylanvadnais8337]

I cannot BELIEVE how beautiful that Link came out!!! I remember watching you sculpt tiny people narrating how you were not confident at all to then seeing this absolute beauty of a miniature. I am just blown away with how far you've come and the level of detail and craftsmanship you've been able to achieve. I aspire to have an artistic journey like yours one day!! Love love love all of your stuff :))

[@HonestLeigh]

You just get better at making Link every time. This is your best yet! The details really make it for me. Especially the white trim and the chainmaille. That was a really clever technique to make it and it even ended up thin enough to see through in spots? Wild.

[@oliviyeah4358]

0:41 This is why I love North of the Border. He cares so much about his work and really gives it his all, even going into scientific detail to make his videos not just videos, but landmarks of the things he's made.

[@AussieBall_Animations]

The way Link makes the island balance perfectly is just *chefs kiss*

[@giladzxc17]

Can’t wait for more trailers to come purely for you to make more of these

[@courtney3686]

I LOVE watching you make tiny nerdy things. It's crazy to watch all the random blobs and wormie dealies turn into a smooth shirt. They always turn out amazing. 💜

[@peacinout3143]

The texture on the island, pillars and stairs looks INCREDIBLE. I also commend your patience for hand-applying texture to things like the chainmail, wooden shield and hair. Whew.

[@joshk4325]

I would love to see a pikmin diorama in honour of the announcement of pikmin 4. The pikmin fan base would be so great full, we still don’t know when pikmin 4 will come out😢. It would be cool to see pikmin working near the ship or maybe olimar and the pikmin fighting one of the many creatures of pikmin. This was a great video, I love all the work that went into it. So glad I could find a channel with this level of skill.

[@dennisyoungblood942]

I would love to see you make the Giant Lion Turtle from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Am I really the only one who thinks that would be awesome? You know the scene I'm talking about, right? Where he's holding Aang up above the water and talking to him? One of the coolest scenes in animation if you ask me

Yes this

i’m currently recovering from surgery and your videos never fail to make me feel better. i absolutely adore legend of zelda and constantly rewatch your loz projects. this is absolutely gorgeous and was really entertaining and healing

[@michaelahuss2123]

This is so cool! It’s amazing how much detail you’re able to put in, even just based off of one major image. Link and his accessories were so nicely detailed, and with the layering process, it was really interesting to get to see everything before it all came together! (And I think with the scenery, the little leaves were a nice touch! 🍁)

[@ChloeNarice]

Your Zelda sculpts are what brought me to your channel, and I stayed for all the other fun nightmarish creations. I can’t wait to see what other Zelda sculpts come from Tears of the kingdom

[@emperoregg7693]

OMG this is beautiful, first time in a while I was wasn’t scared of molded clay.

[@nitramreniar]

I have conditioned by the humor of this channel to the point where I was both very surprised and a tiny bit disappointed when there wasn't a hard cut to a pile of rocks after the words "adding texture", but I did get my fill of joy, when the rock showd up a short while later. Also: * puts on the screen "Hint: I'm super lazy", before proceding to make an incredibly detailed figurine with like 6 layers of different overlapping details *
