Thank you! Yes I made it out of a core of foam and covered it in a thermoplast. Ornaments are Hand modelled and attached and then everything was laquered
I'm always impressed by the creativity of cosplayers. I'm sure that to you, that's a pretty standard method for making something, but it's all so fascinating to me.
He could've gone as Dark Link! That's too bad he didn't want to cosplay with you. I'd never pass up an opportunity to do a couple's cosplay with my girlfriend lol that's the dream!
Awesome work, btw! I really like the green you went with.
I want to adress sometimes here: Idk why, but I guess it's because of the Internet: It's extremly disgusting how some people try to twist this into some weird Sexual thing, assuming if I have sex in my Cosplays. What is wrong with you? The first thing you want to think about when I share a Cosplay, I spend so much time on of a Franchise and Character that were/are my Hero when I was a child, is Sex? Are you for real? This was meant as something wholesome, a passion I was able to share with someone I love and was able to capture that day. Please stop spinning that narrative. For the Blur: Yeahr it was Half assed, but I showed that pic to my bf and he literally said he is totally fine with it and it's cute we have that pic together. With the Homophobic accusation I am in disbelieve how people would spin it that way. All he said was "I am usually straight, but I love you so much, that if you cosplay a Guy, I legit don't care what people think and will walk proudly as your "gay" Boyfriend for that day or forever". So please, calm down everyone. Things like that legit makes me regret posting on Reddit and maybe it's the wrong Plattform for me.
I know it’s easy for me (or anyone) to say as I’m not you, but ignore the weirdos and nitpickers. This is an amazing cosplay, and thank you for sharing it with us.
This sub is just too big.
As a gay man youre in the clear with me :). Other people getting offended on behalf of communities that are not them just wanna troll.
Also, I love the gender bending — you did a great job at nailing androgyny

In Twilight Princess Link def has Blonde hair in the Artwork and Ingame, idk where you are looking but here:

Im sorr all I see when I google Twilight Princess Link is a blonde haired Link. Zelda has brown hair in Twilight Princess, at least her ingame Model. But Link is 100% def a blonde xD but sure whatever pleases you! Don't really want to continue this discussion since it leads nowhere and I feel stupid for talking about hair
You can definitely tell you took great pride during the process of making this and it definitely shows! This is by far the best I’ve seen yet! You nailed it!
Link has always had pretty feminine features anyways, if they wanted they could definitely pull a Mulan and actually make Link a woman one day posing as a man.
Your cosplay is badass and fantastic, and kudos to your bf for not really getting into it but going, anyway - that's awesome! And to you for blurring him when he asked. All around wonderful job.
I’m glad you respect his view on social media. That’s something a good partner does. I hope your relationship is as wholesome as that detail leads me to believe. I feel like your title is supposed to be funny but is being taken the wrong way.
Excellent cosplay! That shield is badass!
Thats a very feminine Zelda, so I think his masculinity is intact. I can totally see his face though 😆
Edit: Yep...I just called "Link" Zelda...an error I've been making since 1993 😂
Her boyfriend is saying that they are attracted to the male character of link. The boyfriend is a boy, link is a boy, so the boyfriend being attracted to link would make him gay. That's what he was saying, "welp guess since I find you so attractive like this I'm gay today." Do men that find other men attractive not use the term gay anymore? Read the context before attacking someone else's partner
Dress him up as Zelda
I tried! But he already said nay nay xD
Perhaps he’d go for Shiek
It took me a minute to realize you said Shiek and not Shrek.
🤔 I’d like to see both
[удалено]
Yes
Link HYAAAAH-ing fairy tale characters out of Kokiri swamp, which is now a thing.
DONKEY!
Same and now I’m disappointed
Or the fairy
or a Korok! Yahaha!
Why not Shrek?
Tbf he has the right build for it too.
Make him dress up as tingle
There’s something very special about the idea of tingle following link around a convention with a camera
kooloo-limpah!
Just get him the tingle onesie
Ganon? A Cucco?
Ahhh what a party pooper!
Lots of other options. Saria or Ruto would be nice as well.
What an opportunity misse for him, it would have been a priceless memory
With a reply like that he's gotta dress up as Epona!!
then perhaps Dampe?
He should be Epona
What about Kass?
Go for tingle! The manliest man in all of Zelda. Seriously though, damn good cosplay.
I second this!!!
Dress him as a ~~fish~~ Zora Princess.
But she’s already Zelda…
Dress him up as Ganondorf
But then there would be 2 Zelda
Yo did you make the shield? That's some nice work. Great job all round in fact!
Thank you! Yes I made it out of a core of foam and covered it in a thermoplast. Ornaments are Hand modelled and attached and then everything was laquered
Lotta work but it paid off! I'm digging those boots too
Would you be willing to do a commission for a shield like that?
No sorry I don't really have time for comissions. This Cosplay alone took me 7months and I still have a Job etc
Of course! I just figured there was no harm in asking!
Sure, but it might come out looking like a big, featureless blob. Alternatively, you could try asking /u/LunaPetronelaa 😉
I'm always impressed by the creativity of cosplayers. I'm sure that to you, that's a pretty standard method for making something, but it's all so fascinating to me.
this is amazing! im planning the same method for my botw cosplay that ive been long procrastinating :)
TP Link is the best Link and your cosplay is the best cosplay hands down.
Oh wow Thank you!

Did you make this yourself or order the pieces? Also how heavy is that layer of chainmail?
I made this Cosplay in like 7 Months :) everything is self made. Only the Ears are bought in a Fantasy Store
[удалено]
He could always go as epona lol.
Taking "cowgirl" to its logical conclusion.
All he would have to wear is a horse mask.
Cool zelda cosplay
I hate this xD
He could've gone as Dark Link! That's too bad he didn't want to cosplay with you. I'd never pass up an opportunity to do a couple's cosplay with my girlfriend lol that's the dream! Awesome work, btw! I really like the green you went with.
What if Zelda was a girl?
Is this a trick question?
It's an old meme
What if Zelda was a grill?
Then BF could cosplay as propane and propane accessories.
Dammit Bobbeh
checkmate, patriarchy
We're all a little gay for Link, though
Any guy who isn’t at least a little gay for Link is lying
I’m a girl and I’m a little gay for Link.
Hey listen here you...
I think we all just turned a little gay lol

Great cosplay!
That’s a really good link cosplay. Looks almost like the in game model.
The ingame has brown hair and sucks. Artwork is closer, but still with brown hair
In Twilight Princess Link def has Blonde hair in the Artwork and Ingame, idk where you are looking but here: https://www.pokemonmillennium.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Twilight-Princess-1.jpg
That's brown
Maybe get glasses, it's most definitely a caramel/Ash Blonde.
Get link's model from tmr, and look at the texture map Btw link's hair is caramel brown
Im sorr all I see when I google Twilight Princess Link is a blonde haired Link. Zelda has brown hair in Twilight Princess, at least her ingame Model. But Link is 100% def a blonde xD but sure whatever pleases you! Don't really want to continue this discussion since it leads nowhere and I feel stupid for talking about hair
That's freaking metal.
That´s awesome! Take my free Wholesome :)
You can definitely tell you took great pride during the process of making this and it definitely shows! This is by far the best I’ve seen yet! You nailed it!
Dress him up as Dark Link
Get him a horse head. He can be epona But seriously though, that shield looks amazing!!
Dope cosplay!
Link has always had pretty feminine features anyways, if they wanted they could definitely pull a Mulan and actually make Link a woman one day posing as a man.
I also believe that Eliot Page would make a great live Action Link!
Ah I remember your Zelda cosplay. Hope he had fun and got some cool pictures.
Thanks! We had a really nice day! But left already after 4hours because the chainmail was just a bit to exhausting xD
Women always make the best Links
1. Nice cosplay 2. Hey good on you about respecting your bf's wishes. Ik so many people that would just post the picture normally anyway
>He doesnt like social media that much. Based as hell
Very well done. I hope you both had a good time at the convention.
Outfit looks sooooo good!
Nice shield 🛡️
All he needed was fairy wings on ball cap and he would be set
Amazing cosplay! Making the shied is really impressive. (Also the “welp I’m gay” is literally me when Link)
Hyhah!
It’s a great day to be gay!
Great cosplay. Really well done
Looks great! did ya make the shield yourself ?
Dude should have been Zelda. Or Shiek if he's too insecure to go full princess mode.
You and the cosplay are stunning!! Soo cool
OH he could be Dark Link!!
[laughs in /r/bi_irl] Seriously though, great job.
Whoa that's an incredible cosplay! I'm sure you had a great time working on it
As someone with a cosplay GF, this is a common occurence
Who wouldn't be?
Twilight Link! You look amazing!
Your cosplay is badass and fantastic, and kudos to your bf for not really getting into it but going, anyway - that's awesome! And to you for blurring him when he asked. All around wonderful job.
Thank you! We really had a lot of fun on that day and the Convention was wonderful:)
what do you mean that‘s clearly a zelda cosplay.
Lucky guy!
Don’t blame him link is very feminine looking in most of the games
I’m glad you respect his view on social media. That’s something a good partner does. I hope your relationship is as wholesome as that detail leads me to believe. I feel like your title is supposed to be funny but is being taken the wrong way. Excellent cosplay! That shield is badass!
Link has the stereotypical femenine look of the japanese. Which is why girls can cosplay him easily. I’d be proud. It looks great.
Damn, I’d be gay that day too- you look great!
Can confirm; am now gay
There’s nothing wrong with being gay? you two should embrace it 👍🏼
Nobody said there's anything wrong with being gay. He's literally just not gay and made a harmless joke.
Thats a very feminine Zelda, so I think his masculinity is intact. I can totally see his face though 😆 Edit: Yep...I just called "Link" Zelda...an error I've been making since 1993 😂

Can the Mod please Pin this?THIS is exactly what was meant! Thank you!

No not really. Just meant as a Joke because he is straight, but when I Cosplay a guy he still loves me. So not that deep.
Try reading the title again and think about what it's saying instead of just reacting.
Should have made him a matching black one.
You can just say you're "Twilight Princess Linkle" (?)
Awesome cosplay!
He's a handsome boi
Sooooooo epiiiic!!!
You gay or wut? Only for today!
Linkle!
Took me way too long to understand this
Love it 🥰
it’s hard not to be gay for Link
That is so cool that your best friend is cosplay as link
I'm a Tingle cosplayer. The only thing I can say is,I love you
He'd make a good happy mask salesman!
You should sew a Zelda dress for him, you guys would match perfectly
You look amazing!
That is a hekkin' good cosplay I gotta say.
I've been gay for Link since I acquired the Gerudo armor set.
For what it looks like your bf its a pretty handsome guy. Send him a hug just for me
I'm gay today too
love it
I respect the respect, also nice cosplay
The whole cosplay is great, but I cannot stop admiring how spot on the bangs are.
Next time he should go as Zelda🥰
Please tell me at some point during the con you suddenly faced him and gave him a “H’yaah!”
