A Perfect Halloween: Link Costume from the Legend of Zelda
As Halloween approaches, the perfect costume becomes a much-discussed topic in every household. This year, our family has decided to embark on a Legend of Zelda theme, dressing up as different characters from the beloved video game series. And the star of our show? My son Beckett, decked out as none other than Link himself!
Unboxing the Link Costume
We were excited to receive the Link costume, and my son was thrilled when it arrived. Upon initial impression, the costume seems made of a nice, light felt fabric. A particularly cool feature that caught our eye was the detail along the bottom- it is designed to look like chain mail but is, in fact, a soft fabric. Ideal for Beckett who loves the warrior look but values comfort above all! An essential feature of this costume (and a lifesaver for us here in hot Louisiana) is the three Velcros at the back. These ensure a snug fit and make it easy to put on and remove the costume. More importantly, they can be loosened if the weather turns warm, allowing for a bit of ventilation - or closed up if it's cold, keeping him comfortable in any condition.
Completing the Look: Additional Accessories
Much to our delight, the costume didn’t stop at just a shirt and pants—it's accompanied by several additional accessories! My son was thrilled when he unboxed a miniature hat identical to Link's, and could hardly contain himself when he saw the boot covers. These boot covers make for a functional and fun addition to the costume, designed to be slipped on over normal shoes. This ensures that kids can still wear their most comfortable shoes, a blessing during long trick-or-treating walks! The costume also comes with a belt - but not just a belt, a belt with pockets. They are not only great for housing trick-or-treat candy but can also hold glow sticks, flashlights, or any other trick-or-treating necessities that he wants to keep close at hand. The belt is fully adjustable with velcro and a stretchable construction, ensuring that it can fit any kid. To its credit, the Link costume ticks all the boxes in terms of impressive design, functionality, comfortable fabrics, and fit adjustability.
The Final Look and Some Handy Tips
Once the costume was fully assembled, my son looked adorable, to say the least. However, we did encounter a minor issue with the belt that was slightly large for his frame. Luckily, I found that it can still loosely attach to the back of the costume and can easily be secured with an additional safety pin if required. We also figured that the boot covers stick out slightly, but we will likely pin them to the pants for a perfect fit. This Link costume from The Legend of Zelda series is definitely an exceptional find for any toddler. The package is recommended for children four and over, which seems accurate based on its perfect fit for Beckett, who is four. It goes beyond the usual costume, providing an immersive dressing experience and showcases high detail from the main costume to its accessories. The little warrior could not be happier and is ready for his Halloween festivity, fueling us with anticipation. What better praise could a product receive than a delighted child, wanting to continue wearing his new costume well before Halloween? So, for all the parents looking for the perfect Halloween costume for their little ones, make sure to consider this Link costume from The Legend of Zelda series. I wholeheartedly approve of this cute and comfortable marvel after testing and enjoying it firsthand. I assure you, it won't disappoint! Thank you for reading and until our next product journey, take care!
