My Cosplay @ AVCon 2014
This year was my third AVCon and my first time cosplaying. Â Over a decade's worth of Halloweens as well as some theater experience was enough to teach me that I love a good excuse to wear a costume.Â
I'd wanted to try cosplaying for a convention for a while now.  I've had quite a few ideas for it, most of them height related (Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist, Kafei from Majora's Mask). Unfortunately procrastination and a necessity to stay thrifty limited my options a bit.
I decided on a costume that let me use things I already had, namely my Ezlo hat that I bought last convention and my green dress. Â All I needed would be a belt, white stockings, and brown boots, and I'd be a passable Minish Cap Link!
Naturally I picked the shortest version of Link to cosplay as. Â I'm really happy with how the costume came out. Â Future iterations will likely see the addition of Power Bracelets and Pegasus Boots, and eventually a dress that matches the green of the hat better.
Regardless, I had a great Sunday wandering around at the convention. A couple people asked to take my photo, including the absolutely lovely Sarah Kay, a local photographer!
I had such a lovely cosplaying experience. Â I hope I get the opportunity to cosplay Minish Cap Link again soon, as well as to try out the other ideas I have. Â If you have any cosplay tips, be sure to let me know!
