One of the most fun amigurumi projects I’ve done so far! I came across this amazingly detailed Link pattern on one of my favorite crochet blogs, All About Ami (link here - no pun intended!). I made it for my brother for Christmas; he says he’s putting it on display in his office next to his other Zelda memorabilia :)
One of the coolest things about this Link: his head is posable! It’s a ball-and-socket joint construction, something I had never crocheted before but had a lot of fun with. The intricate shield and sword/sheath were a great addition to the original pattern. I highly recommend giving this a try!

Take a look at the portion of North Dakota highlighted in this image. That isn’t a city, and those lights weren’t there 6 years ago…
That’s the burning of natural gas from oil fracking rigs.

“From your orbital perspective, you can see that something has unmistakably gone wrong. The dominant organisms, whoever they are—who have gone to so much trouble to rework the surface—are simultaneously destroying their ozone layer and their forests, eroding their topsoil, and performing massive, uncontrolled experiments on their planet’s climate. Haven’t they noticed what’s happening? Are they oblivious to their fate? Are they unable to work together on behalf of the environment that sustains them all?
Perhaps, you think, it’s time to reassess the conjecture that there’s intelligent life on Earth.” - Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot
