3D 8bit Link

Use the SK_Mannequin to compare the standard player character (6ft) to your object in Maya to properly establish scale, freeze all transformations, and delete history before exporting

Add a nice bevel to the properly sized cube (10 units), soften the edges, and export as a FBX

Import the FBX to Unreal

Set up your material to any specifications you may need for the project, these can be turned off later, so no need to worry if you add too much functionality

Create Instances of your material to easily make changes to any objects assigned to it

Begin construction of a very high resolution cube construction of your 8bit Link

Don't forget the other side! Remember to rotate that Directional Light for easier building

Change that directional light to a nice maroon, much nicer than the stark white

Add a very subtle green ambient light to really bring the contrast out in the whole thing, and there you have it, your very own 3d model of 8bit Link!
