It’s Link Amigurumi, our favorite Hylian boy from Legend of Zelda, in a cute and free crochet pattern! Before you know it, he’ll be off on an adventure in the Lost Woods!
I created Link Amigurumi in a kawaii chibi style.
His features include a green elvish cap that sits on top of a golden head with spiky bangs. He has brown boots (great for bounding through the woods!) and 2 straps that wrap around his chest.
He also has two accessories crucial to his journey. One is his trusty shield and the other, his sharp sword.
It’s totally up to you how you want to pose your Link amigurumi. Sometimes I like to have him hold the sword in one hand, and the shield in another.
Other times, I like to sew his shield onto his back so he can carry it around easily everywhere.
Here is Link with Zelda along with other gamer amigurumi favorites that I’ve made! Can you name them all?
Anyways I hope you enjoy this Link amigurumi pattern! Let me know how it turns out! Tag me on Instagram @ami_amour!

Link Amigurumi Assembly
1. Sew Head onto Body.
2. Sew Hair onto Head
2. Sew Bang onto Left Side of Hair. (See Photo for reference)

9. For the eyes, you can cut small circles out of black felt and glue on with Fabri-tac. Or you can also use black yarn and embroider French knots for the eyes as well. (Sometimes I will tie a knot twice onto a yarn and then sew that onto the face)
