Legend of Zelda – Toon Link Play Set with Pattern
This pattern has been a long time in the making and I dare say rivals my Bouncer in terms of intricate pieces and annoying details. If I had lots of spare time or was in prison or some such place, I’d go for different coloured Four Swords Links and add more accessories and enemies and of course Zelda, but for now this set is it. Some parts and details are optional and the accessories can be left out if you want to cut corners. I share the pattern for the whole thing, but be warned, it’s really long and may have some parts seeming complicated or confusing.
A Link was requested several times in the videogame thread so for those who asked, I am pleased to say, here you go 🙂 If you tackle it and have questions or notice mistakes, let me know but if you could please use the comments, rather than contact me via email, other people who may experience similar head scratching will see your question and my answer, so it’s win-win.
This set was made with a 3.5mm hook going through both loops unless otherwise noted. The eyes and shield details are felt and all other details are embroidery. Arms and legs should be wired.
Yarn Colours Used
SC = Single Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
SL ST = Slip Stitch
Treble = Treble Crochet or Triple Crochet stitch
INVDEC = Invisible Decrease
INC = Increase (2 SC in one stitch unless otherwise noted)
General Assembly Notes
The body should be done first, attach legs complete with boots and boot details already done, then slip on vest and attach arms while vest is already on, hiding stitches under the vest. Do not attach head to neck until the vest is secured in place since his head is way too big for the neck hole. Belt should be stitched on very tightly and securely so he doesn’t look like bloated sausage Link. Use the buckle to hide your stitches. Wire arms and legs. Attach ears to head after hair but before hat.

Nubbly feet blobs – my official favourite phrase
Hello I love your pattern. The eyes are wonderful. Do you have a technique or link to how to make them since they really are the soul of the piece? Thank you.
They were glued felt and embroidery.
Hi there! I have a question about the pattern for the ChuChu’s eyeball. For the third round, it says that I should have 16 stitches at the end but I ended up with only 12. What could I be doing wrong? Thanks!
It says you should have 12, look at the stitch count in brackets. It doesn’t sound like you are doing anything wrong.
Hola too u have the patters for the princess Zelda?
No
Thank you so much for these patterns. I just thought I’d share how my version came out. I’m currently making the pig and my younger son has requested the Kirby. I was wondering if you have ever had issues with copyright. I had made/sold a firefly hat and got a letter from Fox’s attorney’s. I also made a set of very popular Angry Birds beanies and got a letter from Rovio’s attorney. I did be sure not to use the names of any of them, even making the bird hat’s “Furious Fowl”. Interesting. Anyway I had pegged Nintendo for one of those picky companies. Any way lots of love and thanks again. Yay for crochet!
Is there a video for this pattern?
No there are only videos for super beginner patterns.
i really love this link pattern lol……im just having trouble with the toes thats my only thing i dont get

Thanks a lot for your wonderful patterns.
Thanks to you I’ve discovered a new hobby and I love it.
I’ve made a nice LINK and Sackboys.
Really no difficulties with your helpful patterns.
Thanks from a French fan.
Someone I know is made the Link and it turned out great! The only problem is that the head is wobbly and it will not stand on its own. They said they could secure the head more, but then there would be no neck. Did you have this issue also or do you have any ideas so the head doesn’t keep falling over? Thanks for your help and your pattern!! 🙂
The kind of yarn I used is stiff, also thick copper wire was holding his body upright.
How big is Link when he is completed?
6 inches or so.
I have never used wire in my amigurumi patterns. Please tell me what kind of wire you used and how you put it in the arms and legs. Thanks!
The tutorial for it is http://nerdigurumi.com/wiring-amirugumi-crochet-doll-limbs-tutorial.html
Absolutely fabulous! I loved making this, complicated enough to be very interesting & educational (for me at least!)
I found your instructions were very well written & understandable. If anyone is having trouble they probably just need to slow down & read! & read through the comments & responses too.
He’s probably the most unique gift I’ve given. Love, love, love your work, thanks so very much for sharing. Here’s mine!

I love this pattern! Thanks for sharing!
I’m having some trouble with the vest. I’ve made it a few times and it keeps coming out way too big for the body. Any advice?
Maybe switch to a smaller hook?
I’m having the same problem. I’ve even switched to a smaller hook and I even modified the pattern to 20 chains then continuing the pattern that way. The 20 chains fit around the butt on the body, and as I worked, it got huge. I don’t understand!
Are you adding an extra stitch every round? aybe try adding a decrease every round. I can’t know what you are doing or how to fix it but you can get creative to fix the problem and make a vest that is going to work. There are more ways than one to skin a cat.
I had the same problem. I modified it to 20 stitches. I also didn’t join the rows as I went, so I was just working with a flat vest. I noticed that it was getting larger as I went up the body so I tightened my stitches and it turned out great. When I finished I took a piece of green yarn and a yarn needle and sewed up the back. It worked out much better.
Hi Nerdigurumi!
Thanks for your wonderful patterns!
I don’t know how you manage to create them but you’re very good at it and thanks for sharing them
Thanks to you so I was able to create my own Toon Link !
Here it is ready to save Zelda 🙂

Hi, I have a little problem whit hair details.
” Now continue as normal (1 ST per ST)”
I don’t understand how to do that. I mean 1 ST per ST, but how many stitches? Because I understand that the row is not finish yet.
“DC x 3 then SC x 4 and then SL ST around the remainder of the head cap all the way around to where you first hooked in.”
This part I guess that is part from the same row, or am I wrong?
“CH x 4 then hook into first treble from the previous row. INC in the first treble stitch from the previous round then SC x 9 and finish off.”
And this I suppose is the second row.
Sorry for bother you, but I really wanna make my Link 🙂 by the way sorry for the bad english, I’m from Mexico and not speak or write english often.
Thanks 🙂
Continue as per normal just means continue the instructions doing one stitch in each stitch because the instructions prior involved several stitches of varying types in single stitches from the previous round. Basically it just means follow the directions keeping mind you will be doing one stitch in each stitch from the previous round.
That’s still confusing. How many stitches do you do singles in before you do the 3 doubles and 4 singles?
None, all the instructions are telling you is that the next stitches are one stitch in one stitch from the previous round unless otherwise noted. Now continue as normal (1 ST per ST) does not tell you to make any single crochets whatsoever it is just clarifying that you aren’t cramming multiple stitches into one stitch from the previous round anymore.
My shield didn’t turn out anything like that.
That’s too bad. I can’t really help you since I have no way of knowing what you ended up with or how you got there though. If you have a question please post or post an image of what you did end up with.

Very cute – I made link and the shield pattern was great – a little problem with the hat being large but I was able to modify it nicely.
Has anyone told you there is a problem with your sword pattern?
I was able to make navi (separate pattern) link, his shield and zelda (I design I created using elements of your link pattern) in a week. I was also asked to make the sword I have been trying to make it for over a week but your pattern for the sword is SO confusing I haven’t been able to finish it. I noticed not many people who published their finished designs on ravelry were able to complete a sword that looked like yours and was wondering if anyone had pointed this out to you yet.
Well frustrated another day! Time to knit an octopurse….
(Really other than the sword bit lovely pattern)
If you actually have a question as to what specific instructions are confusing you on the sword and request assistance I can try to help you understand the instructions, but your comments was strictly criticism vice requesting assistance.
Love the pattern, planning on trying it soon, but I wonder how you wire the legs. Do you do a sort of inverted U, or do you attach the leg wiring to the arm wiring?
Inverted U.
This is by far the best amigurumi Link Ive seen. As a huge Zelda fan since the beginning, I am very critical and I have to applaud this. If it were The link from Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess I would be learning to crochet right now lol.
Hey i was wondering where you got the yarn because i need some yarn and i don’t have much money.
Have a look at my FAQ and the links page for links. That said, most of what I purchased is no longer in production so you are sort of on your own.
Thank you for this pattern, it’s really wonderful! This is my version of the Zelda-Amigurumi: http://fuchsfell.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/a-link-to-the-past/

Hiya! I love your free patterns. I just linked this one with on my new blog post for Fantasy Friday and credited you by name.
http://crochetcricket.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/fantasy-friday-free-link-patterns-from-zelda/
Thanks for the great pattern!
sorry to bother you but i was wondering if you stuffed the feet of the chuchu and how do i sew the feet on? please and thank you!! God bless!!
I did stuff them a little bit. You should pin them in place with headpins then sew them on using the long tails and a tapestry needle that can accommodate the yarn.
Im working on the hat and I would like some help, please. Do I need to repeat the chains before the dc for every repeat?
No the Chain is just at the very beginning of each round.
Wonderful design! I’ve always loved zelda games and this is just awesome!

I’m in the process of getting all the colours for the pattern. The only one I’m trying to see that may or may not be used is listed as Pilgrim Peach. I’m not too sure where you used it. Could it be used for Link’s skin instead of Off White? This looks challanging, but it looks fun!
Pilgrim Peach was used for the pig. You could either not make the pig or make a different coloured pig since there are several if I recall. I used off white for his skin since his skin is more ivoryish than pink 😀
i love to crochet but did not find some until neardigrumi thanx 😀
would the pattern still work with a normal decrease instead of invisible?
I answered my own question. Did one with decreases and one with invisible decreases. Invisible works better.
Let me start by saying thank you, your patterns are fantastic. I made Kirby for my son and now it is his favorite, he carries it around everywhere with him.
I am having a problem with Link’s hat though. Starting at the 3rd row…
3. CH x 3, DC, 2 DC in next ST, DC, DC, 2 DC in next ST; join; (6)
If followed as it reads that would be 7 stitches into 5 from the previous row, instead of 6 stitches into 4. It continues that way through the entire hat. For example, on row 10, 6 increases are listed, but the stitch count at the end only goes up by four. If you follow row 10 as written you would have 33 stitches into 27 from the previous row instead of 34 stitches into 30. I tried just keeping true to your final row count on each row, but I don’t know how to adjust for not using all the stitches in the previous row, especially at the last few rows where there are singles, doubles, and increases, I am not sure how to proceed and I was hoping you could help me.
This is an older pattern. I really hate stitch counts, but I have gotten a bit better about it… a bit. Try this and let me know if it works out:
Hat
CH 2 or Magic Ring or start however you like
1. SC x 4; join (4)
2. CH x 1, SC x 4; join (4)
3. CH x 3, DC, 2 DC in next ST, DC, 2 DC in next ST; join; (6)
4. CH x 3, DC, 2 DC in next ST, 2 DC in next ST, DC, 2 DC in next ST, 2
DC in next ST; join; (10)
5. CH x 3, DC x 3, 2 DC in next ST, DC x 3, 2 DC in next ST, DC, 2 DC in
next ST; join; (13)
6. CH x 3, DC X 2, 2 DC in next ST, DC X 2, 2 DC in next ST, DC X 2, 2 DC in next ST, DC X 2, 2 DC in next ST, DC X 2, 2 DC in next ST; join (18)
7. CH x 3, DC x 2, 2 DC in next ST; repeat x 5; join (24)
8. CH x 3, DC x 5, 2 DC in next ST; repeat x 3; join (28)
9. CH x 1, SC x 5, DC x 5, DC, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC x 4, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC, DC x 5, SC x 5; join (30)
10. CH x 1, SC x 5, DC x 8, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC x 4, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC x 2, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC x 4, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC x 8, SC x 5; join (34)
11. CH x 1, DC x 9, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC x 3, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC x 3, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC x 3, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC x 3, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC x 3, 2 DC in 1 ST, DC x 5; join (40)
SL ST around edge of hat, finish off and leave long tail for sewing in.
I am confused even after using this comments version. (Starting with row 10) When I count all the numbers together it comes out higher/lower than the stitch count and the stitch counts don’t seem to match, as I can’t fit the amount of stitches (Just following the numbers and where to put the stitch not looking at the stitch count u have) doesn’t work into the prior row. Any help?? I am almost completely done with Zelda besides his hat.
He’s actually Link. Zelda is the Princess. Try now.
My bad Link, me and sister were talking about Zelda when I was wrote it. What should I try?
The part of the pattern you were having problems with.
I was thinking of putting a small magnet in his hand and sword. So he can hold it. I don’t know if you’ve tried it but I don’t know if it a good idea?
It could be. I had considered a similar thing but was unable to find magnets small enough that they would not stick out and look weird.
I’m almost done the pattern, but I’m having trouble with the hair. When it says to hook into the front for the hair detail, does it mean the front of the hair cap or of the head? Also, I followed the directions exactly, but my hat ended up a lot longer than yours – even though I used the same sized hook. Please help!
Thanks for making this pattern; it’s the best Link one I’ve ever seen! 🙂
It means hook into the front of the hair cap, although this is easiest done when the haircap has already been applied but not stitches don too tight in the front. All I can say for the hat is maybe try to reduce a few rounds from DC’s to SCs to shorten it? If you are talking about the opening it is quite large but once fitted over the head and pinned in place it closes up and “fits”. If you want a more helpful answer maybe take a picture, upload to imgur and post a link in a comment reply so I can have a look at the problem you are having. If it is a really big opening that worries you though, that’s normal.
Hi!
I love your patterns! I was inspired by your chuchu pattern, it’s so cute! I wanted a smaller one so I made my own design. I would love for you to have a look- http://makingitwell.blogspot.co.nz/2012/08/now-for-something-little-geeky.html
Thanks for all your awesome patterns 🙂
This is just so adorable!!! I too am in love with link and all his friends. I am in the process of making this doll for my little brother as a surprise and I am so excited to see the look on his face when he gets to see it! I found that if u make a bunch of bombs u can put them in a bomb bag and that if u use the same basic pattern u can make an ADORABLE Zelda too 🙂 I also made a bunch of different colored ChuChu’s and now it is a complete play set with many different parts. I am also making navi and the medallions from the ocarina of time legend of Zelda because that is my brothers obsession at the moment 🙂 too excited and thank you soooooo very much for the motivation to do this!!!!!
I was wondering if I use the hooks listed, how tall it is? Thanks in advance! This looks to be the best pattern for Link I have seen!
It was around 6 inches tall if I am not mistaken.
WOW, thank you for Link. I will make it for my son and he will love it, I am sure.

I’m, trying to make this pattern and I can only find a few of the original yarns, I’ve been trying to find substitute, but I can’t find one that looks anything like apple green or chocolate. I was thinking about getting Soft Ecru to replace Off White which is out of stock everywhere I’ve looked. Please help. Thank you so much for this amazing pattern, it will make my friend very happy for her birthday.
You don’t have to make it with the same yarns 😀 Substitute similar weights and colours that work for you and you’ll be fine. Soft Ecru is a bit yellowish but it might work. Apple Green doesn’t really exist in cottons anymore but you might find a sagey kind of colour, or hot green that works, or consider switching to acrylic maybe?
I was trying to figure out how to assemble his hair, but for some reason I can’t get it to look quite right. Help! 🙂
Do you have a specific question or can you give a description of what does not look right? Photos help too. It’s hard to make suggestions or clarify if I have no idea what the problem is.
i love this pattern, but unfortunately i don’t have a 3.5mm hook or a 3mm. would the pattern still work if i use a slightly larger hook, like a 4.25mm?
Yes it would work and will just be a larger end product, which is no bid deal 😀 Be sure to use a yarn bulky enough for stuffing not to show through between stitches.
thanx 🙂 also i was wondering if you could maybe think about making a Master Chief from Halo? my brother loves that game, and i wanna make him one for x-mas
