This costume was a dream cosplay of mine, for quite a few years! I once saw another person dressed as this and thought, wow, this looks really cool! And I always really liked the character Link, but I didn't just want to do him in his normal outfit.

I already had the shield and the materials for the armor, so I decided, why not finally do this!

It took me about four months from start to finish.

The armor is all Worbla with craft foam base except the chest piece, which is all EVA foam so I can get it on and off easier.

Bracers have D-rings and leather straps, so I can take them on and off easily. Pauldrons can be unattached with velcro and more d-rings.

All of the fabric pieces are lined and all embroidered outside of the gold detailing.

The hat alone took 20 hours to do, and probably has the most details, but sadly, you can't even see it. ;-;

All gems were resin cast by my friend, thank you so much for that!

I decided to go for a different painting style with this costume, and make it different. It isn't entirely accurate because of that, but I love it!
