Awe thanks. I love Zelda, this was so cute!

[@inthesparklingsky]

I’ll keep on following you anyway, but I’d like to see some Final Fantasy too... if you feel like making it, of course. :D

[@Yoshi-jb1fu]

You should make Zeldas Castle.

[@VvDrip]

So you fye

[@ESquadProductions]

What do you do with all these models after you're done? They all look awesome! Can definitely tell an insane amount of detail was put into each one.

The “Minecraft being Rule 34 of Building Stuff” is surprisingly accurate, if you need a giant thing in a readable scale, Minecraft probably has it built

[@haemogoblin3611]

i am very late to this comment but couldn’t agree more. i did did a crossstitch for a friend’s birthday of her favourite album cover and after hours of trying to make a template myself i just found a minecraft build of it

That palm frond idea was singlehandedly one of the smartest and most creative solutions to a tiny problem I have ever seen

[@aquaintsound]

I deeply appreciate how you talk about your mistakes. When I see your finished pieces i always think they look so cool, and even when you point out problems the whole thing still looks good, so I'm trying to apply that thinking to my own work

This is incredible! WW is definitely the most charming Zelda game- the music, the characters, the humor, the colorful art style. Other Zelda games may be "better" in terms of mechanic or story, but WW is the one that really puts a smile on your face...

Wind Waker is my favorite game of all time. It’s great!

[@princeapoopoo5787]

My inner child instantly woke up and wanted to play with this. Wander the little paths, go in the little houses, climb the little trees. Marvelous! Thank you 😊

[@christophlohnherr]

I really can‘t give this enough praise. You‘re an inspiring and very talented artist! I love the original game and seeing it come to life with so much love and artistry put into the details (these beautiful tiny houses!) feels magical. Additionally, you seem to have also put a lot of effort into producing this video, which is a fun and fascinating watch. Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Thank you so much 😀

[@MLG_Kitten]

I swear to God, I am only 100% invested in these videos because you literally know how to throw humor into a very detailed commentary.

[@Samtheman0819]

Wind waker hd was the first zelda game I played (but for some reason never Finished) so it holds a special place in my heart. This is just feeding that little love for the game.

[@judyh3707]

Love this! Needs a tiny little Beedle ship floating in the water. THAAAANK YOU!

[@tataritrades6992]

Holy smokes I remember watching this guy when he only had 10k subs and I thought his sculpting skills were insane. 40k subs and terrain making, good for you dude!

Your method for making palm trees was a stroke of creative genius!

[@foxskull5602]

Such an amazing build, brings back lots of nostalgia. As for an upcoming project, the city of Gondor

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Minas Tirith is defo on the list already. Or Edoras/Dragonsreach

[@TheFuriousNightFury]

I miss seeing gorgeous little diaramas like this. This one was my favorite by far. I had hoped a Windfall would follow. Or a dragon roost island

[@MechanicalFiend]

This turned out so nice, always love seeing Wind Waker crafts! Tbh for some reason the colors in this game really get me, they're very nice to look at haha. Your wire tape palm trees were wonderful, what a great idea!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I know it caught a lot of flak when it was released because of its art style, but maaan, it aged so well. It still looks great and the art style holds up so well!

[@princeapoopoo5787]

Windwaker genuinely looks better than every other Zelda game (that wasn't a Switch release)

[@christine4223]

Yes, I found myself wanting to make some palm trees just for fun.

[@bergjoel93]

I have a full-time career and go to school part time. I can't wait until I'm retired and I have time to immerse myself in cool projects like this. Until then, I will live vicariously through this channel. Thank you!

[@dandelionveins]

Those palm trees are blowing my mind! Crafty as heck

[@Iamapinkelephant]

I always wait for the video before I go back to the patron to see the little sneak previews and read about the challenges you faced. That way I get my surprise and insider secrets too!

[@Emberheart_]

Darn your inspiring video, now I'll have to play The Wind Waker from start to end again!

[@itsArcanAramA]

I love how you show your errors in your video. If you showed this to anyone and hadn't mentioned the issues you had with the resin for example, I doubt anyone would have been able to tell. By leaving that in the video and pointing it out, you're showing that it doesn't matter if something goes wrong and you make a mistake. The end result still looks amazing, nothing is ruined beyond repair just because you messed up a little. Thanks for sharing this video, it was a joy to watch!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

I think a big hurdle for people that want to try this kinda stuff is overcoming the inevitable errors that arise when you're doing it, so showing how easy it is to correct said issues! (though... the amount of time I spend fixing these errors is minimized through the power of editing)

[@itsArcanAramA]

That's actually kind of an issie for me, personally. It's very inspiring to see creators I admire powering through their mistakes, editing or no ^_^

[@ThatWildcard]

Most craft/miniature channels are way too professional, serious and not that entertaining. You embody the core teachings of the hobby. Calm, relaxed, just having fun.

I want to see how the palm trees scale up--they've got a great texture and they're easy to shape. I might have found my go to for ferns/fronds

[@henrylinks1087]

i also eat that jam brand, it's kinda my jam. the jars are so handy for many things, from thumb tack storage to making whipped cream for scones with jam and whipped cream. just pour an inch of thickened cream into the jar, for 2 - 3 scones. replace lid, shake vigorously. takes about 3 - 5mins to become fluffy with soft peaks. when there is no sound, it's probably good. (don't over do it) thank you God bless much love
