So in Wal-Mart I was looking at the Spiderman line (some of the only Marvel figures in that scale these days...grrr...) and saw Green Goblin there. I thought, "hmm...I like the tunic, plus its not overly muscled maybe he could be Link."

Anyway I picked it up and got to work. The head is a 200x He-man, though I did have to shave down the jaw line some then add the hat and hair with Apoxie. The arms, torso and legs were from the Green Goblin. Both the hands and boots came from the Legends Cannonball figure. Sword, satchel and shield (bearing the Kokiri symbol over a image representing the Great Deku Tree) were all from the weapon's fodder box.

Now the figure itself led to me wanting to work on some of the other characters...which in turn led to me having a story behind the characters...which then led me to begin writing said story...

The Legend of Zelda: Winds of Change

For 20 years Ganondorf has ruled Hyrule, the Royal Families bloodline had been severed. Legends of heroes are long forgotten. Link and his friend LaNayru are about to get pulled into something they had never expected. A Fairy named Navi, claiming to be an Ancient Fairy Guardian to the Hero thousands of years prior, has returned to help awaken a new Hero. Enlisting the aid of Link and LaNayru, the three set upon a quest to unite the Lost Tribes of Hyrule and ultimately end Ganondorf's reign. And so on and so forth...
