As you probably know, weddings are extremely expensive.... On top of the cost of the dress, there is an exorbitant amount of money that goes into JUST the cost of the venue. Luckily, Andy and I absolutely love to personalize items! That being said, we have decided to tackle on the project of making all of the favors for our guests. These will include key-chains, earrings, necklaces, and ornaments made to resemble "Zelda" items. Posted below are some inspirational pictures from Etsy, which I hope will help Andy and I in our quest!
This piece is made to resemble a "fairy in a bottle". In most games, Link can capture health-restoring Fairies in Bottles. Link can either use the Fairy to heal him at any time or wait until he loses all life, at which point the Bottled fairy will automatically revive him. |
This piece is made to resemble the "ocarina of time". The Ocarina of Time is a recurring item in the Legend of Zelda series. The Ocarina of Time is a unique flute-like instrument secretly handed down for generations by Hyrule's Royal Family. The Ocarina of Time, the Spiritual Stones and the "Song of Time", are the three keys needed to enter the Sacred Realm where the Triforce is found. |
This piece is made to resemble the "triforce". The Triforce is a sacred relic that reappears throughout the Legend of Zelda series. These golden sacred triangles were left behind by the three Golden Goddesses — Din, the Goddess of Power; Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom; and Farore, the Goddess of Courage — after the creation of the land of Hyrule. It was formed at the point where they ascended to the heavens, in a different dimension connected to Hyrule called the Sacred Realm, which would later be referred to as the "Golden Land." The Triforce consists of three separate sacred golden triangles: the Triforce of Power (top), the Triforce of Wisdom (left), and the Triforce of Courage (right). The Triforce has the power to grant the wish of whomever touches it, and molds the Sacred Realm to reflect that person's heart. The Triforce does not discriminate against "good" or "evil". However, if a person without an equal balance of power, wisdom, and courage makes a wish, the Triforce will split into its three separate parts: the piece that best personifies the one who made the wish will be the only piece to remain in hand, while the other two take residence in whosoever most personifies them. Reassembly is then required for such a person's wish to be granted, but does not exclude another from making the attempt. |
So far, I have attempted to make a "fairy in a bottle". Pictures below:
All in all, I'm rather pleased with my accomplishement so far. Feel free to comment and let me know your opinions!
P.S.: I'm still trying to find the perfect material to make the triforce and ocarina. Would it be best to use some salt-dough?
