No matter what new challenges appear, what new evil rises from the shadows. Our Hero will always be ready to defend Hyrule.

Another addition to my poster series.
MAGIC ARMOR! I always see the Magic Armor as being like an Armor of a Hylian Knight. When I first saw it I had to make it. So...Finally I got a pic up LOL. It's been almost a year since I first wore this costume but never posted any pictures anywhere because I was waiting for a particular location to do a photoshoot at. I finally was able to last week at a really nice Cathedral, so here it is. My dad was the photographer and we took good advantage of the location.
Magic Armor is from Twilight Princess (I am surprised at how many people DIDN'T know about this version and also thought I was Princess Zelda in armor. Really? = Seriously people. It doesn't even look like Zelda except for the shoulder armor. But the hat, sword, and shield and chainmail are a complete giveaway that this is Link).
I've worked on this costume on and off for a few years. I put it on hold for a while too because I needed a break from it. Spent 5 months making the new chainmail (My regular Heros Garb chainmail took 6 months) for this one and the armor was a huge trial and error process. There were some parts that I had to remake over and over until it was right.
I started on it right after Twilight Princess came out and I had all of the reference images that I needed to start and finish the costume. No.. I didnt run out of rupees xD

Throughout the years I've been doing what I can to bring Link and his world of Hyrule to life.


Costume was started 2006/2007. Worked on and off. Completed 2010.

So how many rupees did it cost you to pose for a picture in the magic armor?

This is probably the most kickass Link cosplay I've ever seen. It must've taken
a good while to make your outfit. Simply Brilliant! +Fave

Awesome! Not many people use the magic armor in cosplay, and that's amazing that you made the chainmail yourself. Major kudos!

While link slept for the time it took him to become an adult, someone clothed him, bathed him, cut his hair and gave him additional ear piercings.

DexAntares In reply to ??? [2011-09-25 22:41:41 +0000 UTC]

I've been out of it for years when it comes to Zelda, since I don't own any consoles. It's a little strange to be seeing Link in armor, especially if it isn't green. Then again, he always got red shirts by the end of the classic games... ironic that in Hyrule, a "red shirt" makes you LESS vulnerable. In any case, your work here, as always, is utterly fantastic, the envy of fans everywhere!

What makes this such an extraordinary display of craftsmanship is not just it's quality - it is, that is does not look like a cosplay, like a person pretending to be someone. It looks so natural as if you had really brought it life.
Hats off, this is really magnificent.
