Tears of the Kingdom Fan Shows Off Zelda Cosplay With Light Dragon

A Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fan has put together an incredible cosplay of the titular princess and the Light Dragon seen in the game. The Tears of the Kingdom cosplay on its own would be impressive, but the addition of the Light Dragon and its execution has drawn extreme praise from the community thus far.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom followed up Breath of the Wild by bringing back the roaming dragons that can be seen around the world. However, Tears of the Kingdom introduced the Light Dragon, a new dragon which plays an important role in the overall plot of the title. Now, this cosplayer has gone the extra mile by incorporating the Light Dragon into their Princess Zelda cosplay.

On Reddit, user NerdQuill has shared a photo demonstrating their cosplay, and fans adore it. The image shows an extremely accurate representation of Zelda’s appearance as she looks during the majority of the game, wearing her Zonai attire, including the white and green dress, stone jewelry, and tear makeup beneath the eyes. The dress and tabard are also decorated with individual stone adornments, making the design really pop. However, some may be entirely focused on the looming Light Dragon that’s hovering behind the Zelda cosplayer.

Zelda Cosplayer’s Light Dragon Steals The Show

Zelda fans in the comments have been highlighting the Light Dragon in particular, and with good reason. The Light Dragon is extremely large, and looks almost as though it has emerged straight out of the game. Courtesy of a stand hidden behind the cosplayer, the Light Dragon can look as though it’s floating on its own. NerdQuill says that it nearly cost them their sanity to create it. The structure of the Light Dragon was created with PVC pipes, which then had cardboard, foam, and individual hand-cut foam scales placed over it. The overall execution has shocked fellow gamers, who have thanked the cosplayer for sharing their impressive work with them. Some even thought that Zelda and the Light Dragon were miniatures due to the overall impressive detail.

While this isn’t the first physical recreation of Tears of the Kingdom‘s Light Dragon, it’s an extremely impressive build. Fans of the cosplayer’s work who want to see more may be in luck, as the cosplayer has suggested that they could end up doing a Queen Sonia cosplay in the future, as well. If that turns out to be the case, it will be interesting to see what sets it apart and if they elevate it in a similar way to their Zelda cosplay.
