This kid’s homemade Legend of Zelda Link costume will brighten my spirits for an entire week

Kids, man

Recommended Videos

Life changes quickly, and for the most part, I’ve embraced it. Being a kid is great but getting older and wiser has been an incredible experience: I can synthesize this feeling down to staying up all night eating ice cream and playing video games whenever I want, occasionally with my wife, who I get to see nearly every single day.

Now I’ve added a kid to that equation and I truly understand what “family” means. Being a part of one is its own special reward (depending on your family of course), but making one is a new quest, a new adventure, which is part of what makes life so great.

Reddit user BerIsHer’s son is also embarking on a micro-adventure of a different kind. They showed off his amazing homemade Link costume and Epona, something I can only hope to do one day for my daughter in Zelda form. It really does seem like the perfect series to introduce to kids.

At this point I have a ton of source material to draw from: this artist already gave me ideas for a Zelda nursery years back!
