Were you one of the lucky owners of that golden Nintendo Entertainment System cartridge? Remember, all the other Nintendo games were that drab gray color. A cartridge that looked like a solid gold brick was unheard of! And inside it was the game that sparked a whole genre of medieval style fantasy games. It’s safe to say that The Legend of Zelda left its mark. Since then, each generation has been introduced to a new Zelda game and fell in love with the series all over again. That’s why costumes based on the game make for a great choice when gearing up for a Halloween or costume party.

Of course, with so many different games and plenty of great characters, it’s hard to know just which look you should model your outfit after! Do you go the way of Ocarina of Time, the classic N64 game, or maybe the more colorful, cartoony look of The Wind Waker? Well, we’re here to help. This handy guide will give you plenty of Zelda costume ideas so you can craft a unique outfit based on your favorite video game series. From a classic look to costumes based on the Hylian Princess herself, there are Link and Zelda costumes for any fan of the series.

Whenever Hyrule finds itself in a spot of trouble, there’s always one hero they can rely on to restore balance! He’s been slaying Moblins, defeating the nefarious Ganondorf, and busting pots wide open, ever since 1988’s The Legend of Zelda. And chances are pretty good that if you’re a gamer, you’ve been behind the controller when Link does all of those heroic things, but have you ever considered what it would be like to actually become the hero from Hyrule? Have you considered what it might be like to don the green tunic and hat yourself? Have you considered how awesome it could be to swing the Master Sword through a patch of grass to find the sweet, sweet rupees hiding beneath it? Well, then maybe it’s time for you to give one of our Link costumes a try! We have plenty of costumes based on the Nintendo video game character, with styles for men, women, and kids. We even carry costumes from the Switch release Breath of the Wild! Just check out some of our best costumes below.

The game wouldn’t have its iconic name without the fair Princess of Hyrule. (Except for Link’s Awakening, of course.) In each game, she plays a slightly different role. Sometimes she’s the damsel in distress, like the original game. Other times, she’s a fierce warrior with a secret alter ego, like in Ocarina of Time. She’s also played a rough and tumble pirate on the high seas. No matter her character, there’s always one thing she keeps true to heart. She always puts the people of Hyrule before her own desires, which makes her a great role model to look up to. That also makes her a great option to cosplay as when you’re putting together a Legend of Zelda costume. Here are some of our favorite Zelda costumes for you to try out.

Link is known for a lot of things. His skill with a sword is top notch. He has unrelenting courage, even in the face of the most terrifying of foes. He’s also pretty great at mowing lawns and trimming shrubbery. (What a nice guy!) But Link is probably best known for having an endless bag of tools and accessories. He makes the trek to tons of different dungeons just to collect special items, weapons, and treasures. He’ll climb the highest mountain to get a bow and arrow and he’ll head to the bottom of the sea just to get a pair of iron boots. Of course, you don’t have to go through all that trouble to round out your Link costume. We carry all the accessories and toy weapons you need. Just take a look at some of our essential items to pair with your outfit.
