No sexy Link, no hot Zelda – this hobbyist took on an incredibly complex project for her Breath of the Wild cosplay and delivered it absolutely. Because you certainly haven’t seen a cosplay like this before.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild doesn’t rely on a large cast of characters, but there are definitely many iconic characters – above all, of course, Link and Princess Zelda. Many cosplayers dress up as these, which also results in great looks. But that’s not what today is about, it’s about a truly unique costume that pushes the definition of cosplay to its limits.

The hobbyist got help for this, as she illuminates in this video that shows how the LEDs work:
Allison Chase has thrown herself into complex hobbyist projects in the past. She has also recreated the mechanical exoskeleton from the film Aliens and the cat bus from the anime film My Neighbor Totoro by Hayao Miyazaki. You can find more great projects on her TikTok profile:
