  • Here is everything you need to know about how I made my Tears of the Kingdom Link cosplay!!! I was planning on releasing this much earlier, but CapCut for some reason was opposed to editing a 20 minute video on my phone (wack). Technical difficulties were finally resolved and here is the video you've been waiting for!!

    Honestly I think the tunic being kind of a patchwork job adds a lot of charm to it, especially since Zelda did handmake it in canon

I discovered you a few months back and as soon as I saw your room I knew that I’d be a huge fan XD I’ve been a diehard Zelda fan ever since I was seven, and it’s so awesome seeing someone else being a big as a fan as me :) you seem like such an amazing guy just in general, and I’m so happy I found your channel! I know this is really corny but seriously, keep it up. And good luck with the fan film!! It looks awesome so far!! And fyi I will be using this tutorial in the future lol I’ve always wanted to cosplay link :3 🫶🏼💛🌿

  • @geekyfox1972
    @geekyfox1972 Год назад

    I watched your TikTok and kicked through the door the very second you said you made a RUclips video! First of all, holy hell, the amount of work and dedication is incredible (and makes sense considering the cosplay itself is genuinely one of my favourites), I pray for you and all of that hand embroidery omg!
    I'm most amazed by the armour, and I do have a question! When making the armour, specifically the bracers, did you make them to your exact measurement, or did you make them bigger? If so, by how much? :)
    (Off-topic, but I hope the construction of Rauru's arm is going well! :D)

    • @notquiteicarus
      @notquiteicarus  Год назад +1

      thank you so much, I really really appreciate it!!! let me answer ur question ant the bracers:
      the first undershirt I bought for this cos was a more chunky knit turtleneck, so I made the bracers to fit with its sleeves. but then I switched to a much thinner turtleneck for comfort after the bracers had been made 😭 so what I did was cut a long fuzzy sock in half and cut off the toe, then wear the halves like arm warmers under the bracers to make them fit :D

    So I upgraded my last years botw cosplay to the totk one and I’m making a construct bow to go with it. The foam I used to cut out each part was garbage and it has horrible shreds. It’s been sanded but not painted and I didn’t know if using the kwik seal would smoothen it out again. Since you have already used it before, would this work?

    • @notquiteicarus
      @notquiteicarus  Год назад

      I actually just recently got new boots!! I wanted to keep the feel of the hylian trousers, but I just felt like they were a little boring compared with the tunic. I ended up making some foam detailing to go on the toes and heels that matched the armor! I didn't add the cuffs at the top though so unfortunately I don't really have advice on that 🤷🏼
