Lots of wonderful Zelda cosplay at PAX Prime 2013

Zelda Cosplay PAX Prime 2013

Dragon Con wasn’t the only big convention where Zelda fans came out to play a couple of weekends ago. The US Labor Day weekend also played host to PAX, one of the largest consumer-focused gaming conventions in the world. Nintendo and the Zelda series had a strong presence, with demos of both The Wind Waker HD and A Link Between Worlds available for fans to play, and a special Zelda-themed quest for a t-shirt. They even had a model of the King of Red Lions for people to stand in and have their photo taken. And like any good convention, there was plenty of cosplay. I ran around snapping pictures of all of the Zelda cosplayers I could find, so if you were at PAX dressed as a Zelda character, you might just see your picture here!

Unfortunately, this isn’t everyone who participated in Zelda cosplay at PAX. I saw a couple of people going the wrong way on escalators and I wasn’t able to stop them for a picture. I saw a modern-day Business Scrub; a guy in a business suit wearing a Deku mask and carrying a briefcase; and a second Skull Kid complete with Tael. I’m sure that there were others I didn’t see as well!
