Description This is a gift for my brother who is a big Link/Zelda fan. 

There's actually three colors in the boots and the gloves, but it's somewhat difficult to see them; they blend so nicely...maybe too much. lol. I did change a few stitches of the pattern, but it is not too noticeable. I simply printed the grid on a full sheet of paper and chose colors from my stash. All DMC. If you'd like to know what colors I did use, view the list below.

Navi's wings also have sparkly filament! First use of it, and I love it! I wish it was brighter and more noticeable though. Definitely going to have to look into metallic and other fancy threads.

Pattern Grid courtesy of Hama-Girl found here: Link

You can view my process by clicking over to the Imgur ablum I made: imgur.com/a/G42M1
You can also see other versions, like Link without backstitch and it finally framed.

The background patterns are blackwork fills from gatchacaz , which you can find here: gatchastitch.blogspot.com/p/us… . The hill-like design was designed by me, as was Navi.

*I know this number seems odd, but it's literally what it says. I have no idea about why. It's the blue I used for his eyes.
Please note: I only used one color for his skin, so there is a color missing for the few stitches around his chin. I didn't think they were really worth the few stitches.

Thanks! At first I was unsure if the blackwork bg would turn out okay, but it turned out fantastic! And, yes, I did put a lot of time and thought into it. I'm so proud of this one and can't wait to give it to my brother (probably for Christmas).
