Created for Nintendo UK’s Twilight Princess HD competition, the brief came down to making something based on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Ganon’s pig form is one of those papercraft models I always wanted to make but had to repeatedly dismiss due to its complexity. When I heard about the competition I knew it was time for Ganon to finally come into paper-based being, with no tiny details being spared. The template came out to over 400 pieces across 30 A4 pages, each lovingly cut, scored and glued together with the help of some stuffing for extra structural integrity. To my great joy, the model went on to win first place and I received a statue that 13-year old me wanted desperately enough to start creating affordable paper alternatives instead.
