This is the "Statue of the Hero" from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. I got the model from https://www.models-resource.com/.
I didn't want to print the entire thing in one go, since that would require too many supports, and the quality would have suffered for it. Plus I have a pretty small printer (MP Select Mini), so I was able to make it much larger this way.
The only differences from the original model are the sword, the shield, and the base. I made the base from scratch, a lot smaller than the original, saving time and material. I also added the royal family's insignia as an indent on the front, rather than a circular emblem. I made the shield completely flat on the back side (to improve the quality of the first few layers), and added the insignia to the front (the original model does not have it modeled). Finally, as for the sword, I just made it a little bit thicker, just so it's more sturdy.
You may want to play with the tolerances of the holes/pegs to better work with your printer.
Enjoy!
