A talented cosplaying duo have brought The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to life with a beautiful photoshoot featuring both Link and Zelda in the legendary lands of Hyrule. The 2017 game features an art style not previously seen in the franchise, with bright colors, whimsical characters, and fantastical environments that can make for some incredible Zelda cosplay.
Instagram’s valetz_ryu_lain has recreated Breath of the Wild’s Link in stunning detail, complete with the character’s signature hairstyle, pointed ears, and Champion’s Tunic. The photoshoot sees Valetz as Link climbing the cliffs of Hyrule and posing with fellow cosplayer peppyy_, shining brightly as Princess Zelda. The duo, along with photographer osawaay and editor ragezeph_photo, imagine what a real-life Link and Zelda could look like if they were ever to get the live-action treatment. Those looking to create similar cosplays can find props, wigs, and costumes for sale from their Etsy store, NeoCosplayShop
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s community is a thriving one, with countless fans across the globe. The Nintendo title has become a firm favorite not just for cosplayers, but also for artists, crafters, role-players, and creators. BOTW fan content is set to get even more popular in the coming months and years with the upcoming launch of Breath of the Wild 2. The sequel will likely introduce new in-game costumes and characters to inspire the cosplaying community all over again when the game releases sometime in 2022.
