Amanda’s cosplay adventures at Dragon Con

Over Labor Day weekend, I joined 60,000 fellow nerds as we celebrated our favorite fandoms at Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia.

There was certainly no shortage of Zelda cosplayers at the con. I saw so many different versions of Link and Zelda, as well as takes on Navi and even Tingle. Dressed as Nabooru from Ocarina of Time, I attended a Zelda meetup and photoshoot. It was so much fun, not only did everyone look great, they were just awesome people! It definitely reaffirmed that Zelda fans are the best fans!

So on with the pictures!
