lol FYI this is NOT the Link that runs around saying 'excuuuuse me princess' no really. that's cartoon link and he looks COMPLETELY different and I'm not even dressed as him. Maybe it might remind you of that. but that comment left on anything other than cartoon link just doesn't make sense.


Gosh the 80s! Great times, so many memories growing up and playing the Zelda games, and what a way to show my love for the 80s with old school Link!
I always wanted to make an old school Link with Accurate Hair!! This was going to be based off of LttP but I decided to add in the brown tights (like he has in AoL) because it went really well with the tunic and boots, plus it was a bit cold. This ended up being a mix between AoL and ALttP because of the tights and the hair color Aol has brown hair while Lttp/La has lighter hair. I chose a more realistic color pallet and I like how it came out. The wig was the most difficult part, just because I wanted to get it as accurate as possible.

I pulled this out really quickly, I already had the sword and shield.

dude- you NAILED the hair!

While that's a super wig, I always find IRL Link's look... off. He's a character that seems to *oddly* translate into real life. But as far as Link cospaly goes- go do an AMAZING job!
