Mad Bodgin’ Mage (Amiibo SMASH) Log: The Ruler of Hyrule

Zelda was among the first Amiibos I’d purchased, and before I got Sheik, she was the most dangerous.



I needed to be SAVED from this princess.

I ended up seeing this screen many many times:



I thought, “That’s much more badass than her Amiibo would suggest.”, so it was time to start another bodge:

That looked like someone decided to have a peek at her brainmeats.

Some pikeman bits…



…and a dash of dragon face:





With some paint on there, we have the Holder of the Triforce of Wisdom…



And the Ruler of Hyrule:



Ready to SMASH!!!
