Just finished this costume for my daughter, its debut was last night at her school band's Halloween Concert.
I've been wanting to make this Link costume for about 3 years now; finally talked her into it, lol!
Check back over the next few days for more pics of the completed costume, hopefully outside shots if the weather cooperates. Thanks for looking!

undershirt is finished; tunic in progress
added "chain mail" skirt (to keep the costume from being too hot)
chain mail added to front and sleeves
cut fringe off of cheap cloth boots (easy to work with)
building up top of boots to add length and a cuff
finished boots with cuffs and shin bracers
fingerless gloves in progress (took 4 tries!)
gloves with bracer
hat is simple extended santa hat
added front of wig (had to trim it down a lot later on); comb sewn inside to attach to hair
hat with awesome ears!
Power AND Safety! Reflective Tri-Force treat bag.
tunic with belt and sword strap
tunic with back pouches
unfinished costume try-on
I leather-covered a cheap plastic scabbard & later the sword handle.
Painted with acrylics - acrylics look really nice on leather, especially metallic paints.
You can get cheap leather skirts for costumes at used clothing stores and take them apart to reuse.
Link's Master Sword!

Our 12-year-old designed and made the Midna Imp doll herself!
