That is absolutely THE CUTEST little Link I've ever seen. Really nice job!
And thanks for telling what you used to make him; I may have to try to make one for myself, if you don't mind. c:

Thank you so much!
You've made my day >w<
And I don't mind at all!
You should totally send me a link to it if you end up making him and posting it online!
I would love to see it! :>
And feel free to ask any questions if you end up having any!
I'd be more than happy to help c:

No problem! ^_^
And thank you! I'll definitely post it if it turns out well enough. I've only sculpted small cups and bowls before, so this should be a fun challenge. ouo
I actually do have a question. Where did the tinfoil come into play? I noticed it in your materials list but I have no idea where it is in the sculpture, or if it was just used in the process and isn't actually in there, lol.

I used the tinfoil for Link's hat.
I made it completely out of clay first, but it was too heavy and my sculpture kept tipping over or the head would fall off. So I shaped crumpled tinfoil (it works better when it's been all crumpled up) into a smaller version of Link's hat, and then molded the clay around it. That way it wasn't hollow, which would make it too easy to squish, but it was still very light. And tinfoil is fine in the oven, so it didn't mess with the clay while it was baking in the oven either.
Here is the video that introduced me to the idea
