Forget Paper Mario: Paper Legend of Zelda and Paper Metroid!

Ever wish Link could’ve shut that damned fairy Navi up? Ever get the feeling that the Great Deku Tree was really just an old plant preying on young children? Ever wonder why pulling the Master Sword out aged Link exactly to the peak of physical ability? Well, now these important questions have been answered. Texas-based animator Ericpowerup brings us a series of Ocarina of Time-based paper cutout animations titled Zelda on Paper, as well as a short at the end titled Metroid on Paper.

Ericpowerup says: “So I’ve been an avid gamer for as long as I can remember, and just recently decided to put the two things I love together to make animated films and shorts based off video games.”

Check out the video after the break.
