Ben Howard is a talented artist and sculptor who recently finished creating a Legend of Zelda Chess set. The project took him over three months to complete and the detailing and accuracy of his work is a true reflection of the hard work that went into this creation.
Howard is proud that each piece of from the Zelda Chess Set is unique and authentic; he insists that no molds or replicas were used to create the set. The creatures and characters showcase a high degree of skill and expertise. Although I am not a Zelda or Chess fan, I find the Zelda Chess Set intriguing and enticing; the miniature characters are adorable in their own peculiar ways with the large bug eyes.
