Description
When considering fabrics for zelda i had it in my mind to make it less cartoony and more realistic & period. The dress had to be off white. I was considering wedding satin but that doesn't have a "Saxon" look to it, so I settled on a thick linen. I really wanted to keep all the fabrics looking natural. The over shirt is made of dupioni silk. Zelda is a princess so naturally she would be able for afford rich fabric for her gowns. Its fun to me to find elements that are true to the character, it brings them to life! This photo was part of a fun photoshoot with Doug Durham were pikminlink and i could play out their parts ^_~ To see the rest of the photos from the shoot go here -> [link]Pikminlink as Link - [link]

I created a step by step process on how to make your own LoZ:TP Zelda Armor including a pattern you can print out! I broke down each piece to its own section.

Between you and Pikman, I bet that the creators of LoZ thought you stepped out of the games! You both are so good at this stuff!

Wow, your costume is beautiful!
You did a fantastic job with the detail and choice of fabric and colors.
You make a really gorgeous Zelda too. :]

your ears look a tad too unrealistic, and maybe if you had made more of a look, it would've have looked truer.
Yet, the cosplay is unbelievable, it's rare to see such a (visibly) detailed and just plain well-made outfit.
How long does it take you to do that?

Seriously, this stuff is awesome! At least now I can look at link and zelda and picture them human!
By the way, have you put anything together on characters from FFVII: you've got perfect hair for cloud, y'know.

your armor is amazing! Its just crafted so well. And you really captured the feel of the game with the angles and poses. This is as much a work of photography as craftsmanship. Well done!
