Life-size papercraft Link hat (and hair)

Nintendo Papercraft presents exact cardboard renditions of 3D console characters, from Pokémon of every stripe to Link's hat.

This particular hat is from Twilight Princess. The model is life-size, so it's completely wearable (proof here). It's designed so that you can make the hat seperate from the hair, so the hair is completely optional. The hat will be slightly too big though if you don't make the hair. With all the hair made, I can wear it perfectly without the thing shifting on my head.

Pictured below is a gentleman actually wearing this uncanny thing. If nothing else, it conclusively proves that after quality steel and well-tanned leathers, all a hero really needs is a giant can of hairspray.

Hmm, I think we shall see a new wave in cosplay as a result of this. No more shall hair-spray and Halloween dye be the key to mimicking anime characters, rather some flattened wood-pulp and a fixative substance.

There are dangers to assembling your costume from paper.

Anyone know where you can get directions on assembling that thing? Never done a papercraft before and it look CRAZY complicated.
