How to Dress Up As Link from Legend of Zelda

So, you want to know how to dress up as your favorite hero from "The Legend of Zelda?" Just follow these easy steps!

Steps





Find a belt that looks somewhat like this.


1. Get a green nightcap. If you cannot find one, a green wizard hat may work too.
2. Wear a collared, long-sleeve white shirt.
3. Put a green tunic over the white shirt, and must be longer than white shirt. 
4. Put on a reddish-brown belt. 
5. Wear brown wraps aroundgloves.
6. Put on white leggings.
7. If you don't have blonde hair, try wearing a wig! Also remember that Link has short hair (for a girl anyway).
8. Put on fake elf ears.
9. Put on brown boots.
10. Get the sword and shield (and other weapons if necessary). The shield can be made with wood, and the sword with wood and duct tape.
11. Use the sword in the left hand (right hand in Twilight Princess), and the shield in the right hand (left hand in Twilight Princess). And you're Link! Protect pooty from Ganondorf!
12. Enjoy!

Tips

• Instead of a white shirt and white pants, you can wear brown shirt and brown pants, remove the gloves, and have brown hair to be Old-School Link.
• If you are trying to be the Ocarina of Time's Young Link, you do not need the pants, undershirt, and gloves.
• If you want to go big, you should look into a 9-hole or 12-hole blue Ocarina.
• If you are trying to be the Minish Cap/Wind Waker/Four Swords/Phantom Hourglass Link, the tunic should be Black/Green/Blue/Purple/Red, and the undershirt should be a lighter shade of that color. No gloves are needed for this costume.
• Practice saying things like "Hya!" a lot.
• If you want to go all out with it, make sure to wear one gold (blue for Twilight Princess) hoop earring, and draw a Triforce on your hand with all 3 pieces drawn in red outline (left hand).
• If you can't buy a shield, and you want it to look like his, get an adult to help you cut one from wood, then have fun painting it.
• The sword can also be wood, just paint it silver.
• Instead of the wig, you can use washable blonde hair spray.
• If you want to be appreciated as a true fan, try to make your outfit more like the Twilight Princess or old school Ocarina of Time Link outfits. Dressing as the Link from Wind Waker will do, but it will not be as highly looked upon.

Warnings

• If you are trying to be Young Link, and you "do not need the pants" at least wear shorts under the tunic. (Let's be decent here, folks.) Also, if you do this, keep in mind that in many places it is cold during Halloween, and you don't want people lifting your tunic and seeing your underwear.
