It is time to take a brief break from the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but not from this famous and beloved series. Cosplayer Mikhail “Hoar” Stepanov has published photos in which he transformed into Link from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild wearing the Ancient Armor.

Even though all fans of “The Legend of Zelda” universe are currently busy playing through the remake of the action-adventure The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, one shouldn’t forget about other games in this series.

Outwardly, Link looks like a young guy with delicate facial features, long pointed ears, blue eyes, and blond hair. In BotW, he appears as an incredibly silent, reserved, and serious hero who consciously suppresses his emotions and keeps all his feelings inside due to the colossal pressure of the mission entrusted to him.

At the same time, in dialogues the player can choose ironic or playful responses showing that Link is no stranger to a strong sense of duty, boundless courage, kindness, and a genuine love for hearty food.
