The Posing Process

Posing Link is pretty simple as long as you’re following the instructions.

Place the plastic stand into Link’s back.

Simply take the bending plastic piece and apply enough pressure to put one end into the hole on Link’s back.

Use just enough pressure for this step.

You can bend the stand at certain points, too.
