Zora Link costume worm by me.
Costume info:

-Elf ears are purchased from Aradani Studios. I've purchases various elf ears from them and they were all beyond amazing. Heres the link to the very same ears if you're interested: [link]
-Sword and Shield were purchased at the local Renaissance Fair. The sword is for display and isn't battle ready, however the shield is. The shield, if desired to, could serve its purpose in battle.
-The under gauntlets are made out of leather. Top gauntlet is made out of foam with leather straps. (I know that Link wields with his left. I however couldn't change the way the shield is to wear it on my right arm.)
-Boots with bought at a thrift store and colored to match the gauntlet.
-Scales are made of foam as a test run. I plan on redoing it after wearing it and having certain scales bunch up. They will be done out of leather next.
-Danielle did all the sewing magic. I had a basic pattern that she worked off of from my -failed- attempt at sewing.
-I painted the details on the skirt, helm, etc. Te sleeves still need to be done.
-The hat was created by Danielle and I. Its filled with stuffing and is simply pinned to my wig. All the fluff makes it hard to stay on right. It also floats. We found out when doing the dive shots the other day.
-Helmet is sculpted and sanded out of bondo. Painted with Acrylics.
-The tights were purchased.
-The mask is my Kakashi mask but will be replaced with the proper mask for this costume.


Additional notes:
-The boots aren't the proper boots. I still need to make the proper dive bits to rig up.
-The helmet is missing two bits that come off the back end of it. Need to make those. Its also missing the raised detail. I haven't been able to order the 2 part epoxy clay for that yet.

Sadly this costume isn't finished, but if anyone has any questions feel free to send them my way c:

The costume is wonderful. You did an amazing job with the details. It is nice that you were able to gather and even make some of the pieces to the suit.
It almost looks as if Link were standing there. The place you choose for the photograph is a perfect setting. It's beautiful and calm. But also seems dark and ominous. Though it is a good place. I do have things that make it rather bland.
The location just doesn't feel like it fits the scene will enough to call the whole thing wonderful. You can also see a few things in the background that are from modern times. Twilight Princess was set some where within the medieval to the colonial times. Other then that. It's still good piece that deserves a look over.
