Zelda Fan Is Making Ocarina of Time Locations As Clay Models

One of the most beloved Nintendo 64 games of all time still inspires many fans to this day. There's been many impressive remix albums, artistic works, and even a speedrun within Super Smash Bros. Brawl's limited Masterpiece mode done out of incredible dedication to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. One fan loves the game enough to make little clay models of all of its locations, providing updates on social media as he goes along.

Using accounts with the username ZeldaModel, the talented artist has made sure to post plenty of updates regarding his pet project, which has grown significantly in the last few months. Since his last update to Reddit, two new locations have been added to the full model Ocarina of Time map the builder is making piece by tiny piece.

ZeldaModel has shown off Lon Lon Ranch and Goron City in his latest updates, fearing super small haybales and cave paintings as part of the many details that bring the map model to life. Goron City itself is rather impressive, as its multilayered shape is modeled with care, with small cave entrances and even string for the ropes to the center platform.

On Twitter, there are even more recent updates, as the Australian builder has shared videos of his painting work and as he puts the pieces of the model in place. One of his videos has shown Death Mountain has been fully colored in, only needing props, with "retractable" cloud cover so viewers can see the inside.

Making a diorama of Ocarina of Time's famous locations is already a great way to pay tribute to the game's memorable world, but the fact that ZeldaModel has gone far enough to make it into a full-scale map is impressive in itself. The level of detail still going into each location at that big of a scale is also impressive, and shows how dedicated this project's maker is.

When it comes to ZeldaModel's love for the Nintendo 64 game, it doesn't just end when it comes to his craft. The ZeldaModel account has also promoted a charity stream of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that has all proceeds go towards helping fund Cancer research in Australia. It seems ZeldaModel is wanting to help a heroic cause while celebrating the adventures of Hyrule's hero.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is available now for Nintendo 64, Wii U, and 3DS.
