One stunning cosplay has combined two beloved characters from The Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy 7 into one cohesive creation, featuring a mashup of Cloud Strife from FF7 and Link from the Zelda franchise. Although it seems like this combination really shouldn't work, it comes together extremely well.
Forsaken_Building_76 on Reddit shared their impressive cosplay, which combines elements from each character into one. The cosplay includes Link's iconic green hat and elfen ears, and Cloud's massive buster sword, shoulder guard, bracer, and his various belts and straps, redesigned to include the instantly recognizable emblems and designs of Zelda. The shoulder guard sports a rendition of the Hylian Shield, complete with a colorful raised printing of the Hyrule Crest, while the weapon reimagines Link's Master Sword as a Buster Sword.
The photos, expertly captured by Gabefreeland on Instagram, further bring the creation to life. The photos capture Cloud-Link posing in various battle-ready stances, and the blurred backgrounds make the central character pop out at the viewer. Some of the photos also make use of reflections, for a gorgeous view of the cosplayer standing above his own mirror image.
Link and Cloud don't have too much...
