Samurai Armor Inspired By THE LEGEND OF ZELDA and Sanada Yukimura
One of our readers sent in these photos of a couple awesome pieces of samurai armor. One was obviously inspired by Link from The Legend of Zelda and the other was inspired by ancient samurai warrior Sanada Yukimura. It was created by Etsy seller CoffeeCosplay and as you can see it looks pretty damn cool.
As of right now the armor is available in three sizes, but there is an option to have it custom-sized — it will just take two weeks to do. This is what the creator had to say about the armor:
The entire suit of armor is made with 5/16 inch thick thick EVA foam. The armor can be dissembled for storage purposes—the Haidate and Sode can be adjusted for proper fitting as well.
I started this project after a custom order of my Yukimura Samurai Armor (another listing) and fell in love with the color scheme of Satin Green, Pure Gold, and Navy Blue. When I assembled the entire suit I realized it looked a lot like Link. Hence, I present a Triforce inspired armor. The triforce print can placed to your liking. My next project will be his gauntlets. Stay tune for more and please share if you like my work.
I also included photos of the Sanada Yukimura Cosplay armor set below. Yukimura was a real life Japanese samurai warrior hero. He is also known as “a Hero who may appear once in a hundred years", "Crimson Demon of War" and "The Last Sengoku Hero." If you want to order one for yourself, click here.
