Nintendo's colourful catalogue of cutesy characters is usually on the bright and cheery end of the scale, but there are a few oddities that you really wouldn't want to meet down a dark alley.
For many, The Legend of Zelda's Skull Kid is probably right up there on that list, and this fantastic effort from Miserable Beasts on Instagram goes a long way in proving why. A puppet maker based in Glasgow, Scotland, their account is full of all sorts of terrifying creations that'd spook even the boldest of us, but this Majora's Mask-inspired beauty has to be our favourite.
"Didn’t anticipate this becoming an installation in my home but there you go," they say. We'd never be able to sleep again.
Somehow it was even creepier when it was still being made.
You can check out more over on Instagram here if you're interested – another piece that'll likely grab your attention is this Wind Waker-inspired Link.
What a fantastically horrific creation. Hats off to you, Miserable Beasts!
Thanks to Sam for the tip!

Just wait until he does a Links awakening DX puppet
If it doesn't make wooden rattling sounds when moving the limbs then this is a major missed opportunity.
I’ve lived in Glasgow all my life. That isn’t a puppet, that’s just your average kid from Easterhouse.
Looks kind of cute to me
@Bogbupog I was thinking the same thing 😄
Give them a job at the Henson’s Creature Workshop!
That's wonderful. I kinda felt sorry for Skull Kid. Now more so
This thing is creepy, enough to give me nightmares, thumbs up for effort tho 😂😂
I want one so bad ♡♡♡
Dang, I love puppets. Those are amazingly detailed and well-crafted!
Fantastic work. Well done lady! 👌🏻🐸
@Leprecorn Are you talking about the old links awakening puppet commercial!?
What an excellent idea. By the end of the game Skull Kid was literally a puppet... Memories of him hanging limply by the face as the mask floats around...
this reminds me of shrunken skulls.. scary as hell!!!
What an amazingly detailed piece of art! They put a lot of love into that.
@Ttim3r yeah the one with blue link
Skull Kid for Smash please
