It's early I know, but giving myself plenty of time this year to prepare my Link costume.
I might sew a blue tunic and hat this year. These girls made there's the right way!
This link costume is pretty cool as it resembles Link's humble character.
I want to make a the mirror shield this year. Some guy made one that I don't think you can compete much with.
Yea, even the back is pretty jaw dropping. The guy even made it right handed as Link carries it in oot.
This guy had the same costume combination I had in mind.
I don't like when people wear brand new white tights though. I will buy white tights and a white undershirt but will also buy light beige/brown dye and dye them so they match and don't appear brand new from modern times. I've used it before for a ghillie suit and it works like magic. The previous picture dude also had the same idea as me to make Iron boots. His look as fake as they get besides the iron plates but I have some huge brown work boots that I might bust out some thin sheet metal and leather cord to brace the plates to. Might be too heavy though so I will figure something out. He also has a fairy which looks pretty lame imo. My friend suggested I wear a jar around my neck or on my side with real fire flies in it. They are everywhere on my land so if the season permits for them I will catch a ton of them, keep them in an aquarium and see if it even works.
Ordered these from etsy.com
They say vintage. Who knows, maybe they were Link's and someone found them at an estate sale in Kokiri Forest in an old chest.
I've been growing out my hair since January and was about to cut it yesterday when I realized in three more months it will be long enough to pull off Link. I will highlight my hair in October.
In 2013 I had a real master sword and sheath. I literally got away with carrying it on my back into multiple crowded bars and clubs! This year i'm trying to figure out what sword I will carry. The plastic handled master sword I bought was sort of corny so this year I will buy a real possibly medieval sword and alter it.
In this case I could just dremel grooves in the handle and wrap neon blue para cord around it. I sort of want the Biggoron's sword this year but have not decided yet.
The Biggoron's sword on Link's back.
Although sort of corny, this dude had a good example of the real life scale of the Biggoron's.
Call it far-fetched but I kind of want to build a working hook-shot "my all time favorite video game weapon." I'm pretty crafty and now own an entire metal fab shop including a welder so although I won't make any promises, I will at least attempt to make something happen.
Lastly, if you happen to pass by this girl, or any girls dressed as link.
Could you kindly ask them to marry me? Thanks.
Edit:
Found these images from 2012, my first attempt at the costume.
Who needs elf pointed ears when yours are already as big as mine?
Drafted in a cad program and laser cut this shield from two layers of 1/8" wood and spray painted it.
Went to town with a staple gun for the handles, also added a loop to hang it from my back sheathed sword.
Ready to go.
Well I tried, but clearly batman out costumed me.
I didn't even have a tunic, just a green shirt.
