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.
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.
