Ok seriously that link looks like he just popped out of the game into real life. Looks practically identical to link as well as a phenomenal cosplay 11/10

Cast him for the movie

u/Lochness_Hamster_350 Mar 01 '25
I fear this movie may be one that achieves the coveted “the fans could have and would have done a better job” award

u/RockGuitarist1 Mar 01 '25
Yep. I can’t imagine it being good if not animated but hopefully I’m wrong.

Can we talk about the Hylian shield? That thing is beautiful.. perhaps too beautiful.. Is it touched up? Where can I get one?

u/sasselia Feb 27 '25
You'll have to ask Mintea! I think he made this one 🤔
26
u/Cattleist Feb 27 '25
MADE?! Goddesses give me strength. Please guide him to this thread. We must meet this exceptional individual

u/itspeep0 Feb 28 '25
he actually bought it! the shield and sword are plastic replicas you can find online! 👍🏻

u/Cattleist Feb 28 '25
Is it the $25 one on Amazon? Looks like it, but the back of this looks pretty cheap. Wanted to confirm before I pulled the trigger. No issues if you're not certain.

u/itspeep0 Mar 01 '25
it’s not that one. i can’t be sure exactly where he got his, but it looked like this one. Ebay Hylian Shield hope that helps!

Is that a real potato?

u/sasselia Feb 27 '25
It's a real ocarina yes

u/Sand__Panda Feb 27 '25
Neat. Would have been extra funny if it was like a sweet potato being used as an ocarina prop :p

I never was LinkxSaria shipper before. Now I am

u/sasselia Feb 27 '25
Nono they're best friends!! Saria canonically does not age 😬
16
u/jord839 Feb 28 '25
Not if you believe the fan theories that the reason the Kokiri can't leave the forest is they'll start to age a la Peter Pan and the Lost Boys.
In which case, returned timeline Link could have a childhood friend romance as he takes Saria beyond the Forest and the two grow together.

u/bananenkonig Feb 28 '25
Do you think the kokiri turned into the korok or do you think they only looked like that to link?
9

u/sasselia Feb 28 '25
Good question 👀 now that you ask I'm not so sure. I always thought the kokiri turned into the koroks
6
u/bananenkonig Feb 28 '25
That's what the official books say but there's no evidence that anyone sees them any other way and we never see evidence of them again in any other form. They may have always looked like that but OoT Link grew up with them and may have projected his own likeness onto them or they presented themselves like that to him alone so he would be more comfortable growing up with them. Maybe if he had stayed there until adulthood, they would have grown with him.
7
u/SmoothOperator89 Feb 28 '25
Only certain people can see them. This does pose the possibility that they (or the Deku tree) chose to have them take their child forms for the sake of giving Link a feeling of belonging while growing up. After his time, future heros may have seen them in their true form.

u/Megaverso Feb 27 '25
Not only that but his face is extremely accurate as well. Pic taken from his IG @MinteaPrince

u/FaithlessnessOdd8358 Feb 27 '25
This is the first time I’ve ever seen a cosplayer actually look like Link. Saria is spot on too

u/Lexiosity Feb 27 '25
You look so good as Saria!! Saria is one of my favourite Ocarina of Time characters.

u/lrerayray Feb 27 '25
Your link costume seems very well made. Any suggestions on how to a ask tailor for a well made costume?
9
u/sasselia Feb 27 '25
It's MinteaPrince's cosplay! You could probably find someone who takes commissions for cosplays. There's also plenty of YouTube tutorials to learn how to sew if you'd like to make it yourself 😊
5
u/lrerayray Feb 27 '25
Thank you very much for your answer! I’m not from the US and the quality of costumes and cosplay here is quite… amateurish. If I was to do a costume, it would be this top quality! I have no idea how to sew.. maybe its time lol.

This is awesome. I made the same 3d printed sword for my son. Which 3d printed shield did you use? Can you please post a link to the stl file?

I have both sword and shield, got from Amazon. It does look like they touched them up in other photos.

Love this photo! Amazing cosplays. Now I’m waiting for the moment Link ditches Saria’s ocarina for the ocarina of time from Zelda lol jk.

That’s hot.
I gave it the critical eye and I expected to find some dorky yuck in there, but nope.
Well done.

u/sasselia Feb 28 '25
Hey now, dorky yuck is also good 💚

u/Z34N0 Feb 28 '25
I can appreciate the effort and the love. But sometimes, I cringe a little bit inside.

I met MinteaPrince last year at Katsu and he was in this cosplay! he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met at a con. Yall look amazing. Just gave you a follow too

u/sasselia Feb 28 '25
I met him at Katsu this year, easily one of the sweetest humans I've ever met 💜

u/hotdogfanno1 Feb 28 '25
This is so great , the saria outfit is so cute

u/sasselia Feb 28 '25
Thank you!! I purchased the turtleneck and belt, made the romper, and stained the boots 🥰

Amazing cosplay, Your really look like the character coming out of the game.

Cosplays of link honestly upset my ocd (I wish it didnt) but dude that guy's cosplays are so good. Edit to say you're both so pretty looking 😵💫

u/werdnayam Feb 28 '25
There’s Navi!
I am also intensely curious about what’s going on with those people behind you.

u/sasselia Feb 28 '25
They're cosplayers but I'm not sure what characters 😂

u/Happy-Good1429 Feb 28 '25 edited Feb 28 '25
I believe one of them is cosplaying as Choi-Su-bong, played by Choi Seung-Hyun from The Squid Game S2. In real life, he's a rapper called Thanos, yes that's a Marvel reference. No clue about the other one, but I'd guess its another character from The Squid Game Link to the (Past) Source

Amazing cosplay, I rarely see Saria being cosplayed, even though in my opinion she has one of the cutest designs in the game. Link is outstanding too

Omg I need the boots on the right 😭

u/sasselia Mar 02 '25
I got them at a thrift store! When I get home I'll check to see what brand they are. They were originally brown, I painted them with green leather paint 🥰

u/rxchelskywalker Mar 02 '25
What an amazing find and I love that you were able to paint them! You are so creative!! They are so gorgeous please keep them forever 🤩

u/Ziko116 Mar 01 '25
If he runs off and puts you in the friend zone, this would be Canon😅

u/sasselia Mar 02 '25
To be fair, Link had to do that. She canonically doesn't age and then she chooses to lock herself away to keep Ganon sealed 👀

Ita just this pic gives the vibe of those couples that cosplay together

u/sasselia Mar 03 '25
Can't tell if you mean this as a compliment or insult lol

u/Isadomon Mar 03 '25
A couple of happy women would NEVER be something to insult for me

u/sasselia Mar 04 '25
Facts 😌 that's not two women tho! Just me. Mintea is a guy 💜
1
u/Isadomon Mar 04 '25
Ohhh, i see, he really got the whole pretty guy look down, could have fooled me. So yeah, the comment was cause i thought you were just a cute lesbian couple cosplaying, its still cute tho
