A devoted fan has brought Princess Zelda from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom into the real world with an impressive cosplay that has fans on Reddit buzzing. Princess Zelda, a key figure in Nintendo’s iconic series, has appeared in almost every game, including the recent Tears of the Kingdom.
Released in 2023, Tears of the Kingdom received critical acclaim and was a commercial triumph for developer Nintendo EPD, earning numerous accolades. Princess Zelda played a significant role in this game and stood center stage in the 2024 release, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. This game was groundbreaking as it featured Princess Zelda as the main character for the first time, offering a refreshing twist for fans. Inspired by this version of Zelda from Tears of the Kingdom, a dedicated fan has crafted an impressive cosplay tribute.
Over on Reddit, user MissKuruta96 shared photos of her stunning Princess Zelda cosplay. The attention to detail mirrors Zelda’s look from Tears of the Kingdom, complete with makeup and meticulously chosen accessories. The cosplay features a perfectly recreated green outfit, signature elven ears, and intricate ornaments that showcase MissKuruta96’s dedication.
In the Zelda subreddit, MissKuruta96’s cosplay post has been collecting upvotes rapidly, with fellow fans praising the “gorgeous” portrayal. One playful commenter even asked which cutscene the images were from, highlighting the impressive nature of her creation. This remarkable cosplay joins other beloved fan creations from the Legend of Zelda community, which includes characters like Ganondorf and Beedle, as well as innovative projects like a 3D-printed map of Hyrule from Breath of the Wild.
The Nintendo Switch era has been a golden age for Zelda games, with both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom standing out as key releases. As speculation grows about a potential new Switch console in 2025, excitement continues to build among fans. If the rumors about Switch 2’s enhanced hardware are accurate, players could be in for experiences that far surpass the technical limits of the existing Switch.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom follows in the footsteps of its much-loved predecessor, Breath of the Wild. In this installment, Link and Zelda continue their battle to save Hyrule from the menace of Ganondorf. Set in the familiar world of Hyrule, the game introduces an event called the Upheaval, which opens up new opportunities for exploration, including ventures to Sky Islands and into the Depths below. Players have the chance to combine weapons and craft items, adding depth to the adventure’s gameplay. Released on May 12, 2023, and developed and published by Nintendo, this installment is praised for its creativity and is rated E for Everyone 10+, despite its fantastical violence and mild suggestive themes.
