Link VS Geldman -Zelda Relivedby *pikminlink

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Costumes / Cosplay & Role-Playing

READ THIS FIRST! NEW UPDATE

This image was re-edited and I replaced the old one with this new one. If you wish to see what the old one looked like go here: [link]

The image wasn't blended well enough and it just didn't look real enough. I think it looks a lot better now. Also huge thanks to

for helping with blending the image to make it look more fitting. The old image was very 'lame' looking =\
We added more shadows, highlights to have Link fit better into the environment and make him look like he's actually fighting Geldman. I hope we succeeded better than before.

::end update::

Here it is!
This is picture #1 from my upcoming project: Zelda Relived (I have a lot of upcoming ideas, and there is more to it than just these). Link VS Geldman.

Based off the official art from Zelda: A Link to the Past [link]

This was a very painful photoshoot. I was rigged to hold this pose for 3 hours! xD

Check out the promo video if you haven't yet!

Zelda Relived has been an idea of mine for a long time. My goal for the longest time in my Zelda photos was to bring Link and his world of Hyrule to life. I have been doing so since 2003. Recreating scenes, and moments from our beloved Zelda games.

I wanted the opportunity to blend my love for Zelda, Cosplay, and my Studies in Game Design so I created Zelda Relived, something that has never been done before. I wanted take Zelda cosplay to a whole new level.

I have tried to keep this project under wraps tho it seems some aspects may have leaked out. So I am glad to finally release the first picture.

Wow.
Before I saw this picture, I did not think doing this was possible. I give her 5 stars for everything. Costume, texture, background, and it really looks like Link has come to life and is fighting to save Hyrule. If I were grading this for a project, it would definitely get an A++++. Also, looking at this picture brings back so many memories from when I was little, and I always wanted Link to be real, and fight for crime in the real world, and now, I finally have found the real Link fighting real crime! once again, amazing job, truly awesome work!

This was amazing... you truly took this to the next level. You are an amazing cosplayer, and I thought this was animated at first, but a closer look proved that you were in the picture. You really make Link come to life in a way I never imagined. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought you were fighting Geldman for sure. You're the best cosplayer I've seen so far, and I'm sure there isn't anyone better out there! This is really amazing, and I'm glad you decided to do it. You look just like Link himself. Once again, this is amazing!

Oh my glory!

I have many fond memories of this game and remember the similar illustration from the instruction manual. This looks really incredible and truly brings the game to life! And your wig! So much love for the wig especially.

Very much enjoying your Zelda Relived series .
