INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are over 10 different Links in The Legend of Zelda franchise. The most recognizable versions are the ones from Ocarina of Time, the Twilight Princess, and Breath of the Wild. A simple online search for the different versions of Link will bring up a lot of art to reference. In most games, Link wears a green tunic. But in Ocarina of Time, he wears both a red and a blue tunic in addition to his classic green one. If you use red or blue, this would also be recognizable among fans. Measure the circumference of your head using a flexible tape measure. Then, measure from the top of your head to the middle of your shoulder blades. Draw 2 triangles on a piece of felt that are the length of the measurement from your head to your shoulders and half the circumference of your head, plus 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). Cut the triangles, then sew them together inside out using a basic running stitch.  If you plan on wearing a blond wig for Link’s hair, measure your head while wearing the wig, so you can make your hat fit accurately. The hat should be made from felt that matches the color of the tunic. If you’re wearing Link’s red or blue tunic, make a red or blue hat. Give the hat an extra inch for the seam allowance on both sides. In most of the games, Link wears a white, long-sleeve shirt under his tunic. You can buy a shirt like this from a thrift store. If you can’t find one in a store, try shopping around online. You might even have a shirt in your closet. A lot of costumes can be made with clothing you have on hand.  If you can’t find a white, long-sleeve shirt with a collar, you can use a non-collared shirt, or one that’s laced up the front medieval style. You can order one like that online. Maybe a friend has a white shirt that fits you, and they’re willing to let you borrow or keep it. The tunic must be longer than the collared shirt. You can buy an over-sized T-shirt and modify it, or you can find a pattern online to sew the tunic from scratch. A plain, green, blue, or red tunic dress would also work. If you’re not on a tight budget, having a costume commissioned is another method of obtaining a tunic, but it would also be much more expensive than making your own Link costume.  You can also buy a used Link costume, or just the tunic, from another cosplayer at a discount price.  To modify an oversized shirt, lay a shirt that fits you on top of the large shirt. Take a marker and trace the outline of neck and sides the fitted shirt onto the large one. Just be sure to leave the bottom seam intact so the shirt is long enough to look like a tunic. Remove the small shirt, and use scissors to cut along the outline on the oversized shirt. Turn it inside out and pin the fabric in place to sew it evenly. You can sew by hand or sewing machine to finish the tunic. Leggings are widely available, and cheap if you buy them from dollar stores, thrift shops, or department stores. Ensure they are opaque, rather than translucent. Tight spandex pants or white long underwear would also work as Link’s leggings. The belt can be made of fake leather, real leather, or a combination of elastic and fake leather.  An elastic belt would cinch the tunic’s waist to make it more form fitting. The buckle should be square and gold or yellow in color. Measure your waist before buying the belt. Link wears fingerless leather gauntlets that reach up to the middle of his arm. You can buy leather cosplay gloves online.  You can also make Link’s gloves by cutting the fingers off of a pair of thick, leather gloves.  Sew or draw a Triforce onto the back of the left glove. The Triforce is a symbol made up of 3 triangles that are stacked point-to-point. Link wears tall brown leather boots that reach to just below his knees. See if you can find some simple brown boots in your closet or at a shoe store. Or, make boot covers to fit over any pair of shoes you own. To make boot covers, put on a pair of boots or shoes and wrap brown, stretchy polyester-blend fabric up to your knees and all the way around your shoe. Use pins to close the fabric around your entire leg and shoe to mark where the seam will be. After pinning the fabric, cut off the excess material, but be sure to leave an extra 1 inch (2.5 cm) for a seam allowance. Sew the boot covers together using a zig-zag stitch so the seam stretches with the material.

SUMMARY: Research Link’s different looks from other Zelda games. Make Link’s hat from felt. Wear a collared, long-sleeve white shirt. Choose a short-sleeved green, blue, or red tunic to wear over the white top. Wear white leggings under the tunic. Put a reddish-brown belt around your waist. Include a pair of brown fingerless leather gloves. Put on brown boots or sew boot covers to fit over your shoes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Women do not have the same citizenship rights as men in the UAE. If you are a woman and marry an Emirati citizen, you will not automatically become an Emirati citizen.  As a woman, you can get Emirati citizenship as a dependent of your husband, if your husband is an Emirati citizen. Women in the UAE are considered dependents either of their husbands or their fathers, regardless of whether they work or live independently. Women cannot pass on their Emirati citizenship. If you are a man and marry an Emirati woman, you will never be able to get Emirati citizenship as a result of being married to her, no matter how long the marriage lasts. Once you marry an Emirati citizen, you will generally have the right to reside in the UAE with your spouse. However, you will not have the benefits of being a citizen.  When you get married, go to the General Directorate of Residence and Foreign Affairs (GDRFA). Bring your marriage certificate and identification. Tell them that you want to become a national, and they will give you forms to complete. If you are a man and marry an Emirati woman, any children your wife gives birth to will not be Emirati citizens. They will have to wait until they are 18 to apply for citizenship, and in the meantime you will have to pay for education and healthcare for the child that Emirati citizens get for free. If you marry an Emirati citizen, you will not become eligible for Emirati citizenship until you have been married for 3 years from the date you expressed your intent to become a national. Keep in mind this rule only applies to women who marry men who are Emirati citizens. A man who marries an Emirati woman will not be eligible for citizenship by virtue of the marriage. The UAE does not recognize dual citizenship. If you want to become an Emirati citizen through marriage, you must be willing to revoke any citizenship you currently have. Contact the embassy or consulate of your country of origin to find out what you need to do to officially revoke your citizenship. To apply for citizenship, your husband must complete a form and supply documents to the GDRFA that prove your identity and indicate your desire to become a citizen of the UAE. You will have to pay a fee for the request to be processed. You must be present with your husband when he submits the form and documents.

SUMMARY:
Recognize that there are different rules for men and women. Express your intent to become a national to the Ministry of Interior. Remain married for 3 years. Revoke your original citizenship. Have your husband complete a Citizenship Request for the Foreign Wife.
