Well excuuuuuuse me, princess!

There's a guy in Seattle who dresses like Link from Legend of Zelda. Until today, this was the best picture I had of him:



Not great, but I just wanted proof of what I saw. The bus he was waiting for came a split second after I snapped it. Today, I was on the bus coming downtown when he got on. I was planning to get off at 3rd avenue, but when he got off at 5th I had to jump out to get some pictures.


note the Nintendo Power Glove he's wearing on his right hand


I believe the jumble hanging at his waist is plastic Super Mario figures

I've only ever heard about Link from one other person. She works at the QFC at Pike and Broadway and says he's banned for life from QFC for swordfighting there. Part of me wanted to get closer for a better picture today, or maybe even a question, but there's been a lot of sword violence in the media lately, so I decided to play it safe.

I believe he's with the same man in all three pictures, and they're wearing most of the same clothes. The first picture was taken in September of 2004. Anyone know anything or have any photos?

Ooooh, I should have checked out sleestak.net a long time ago. I took a picture of their sticker ages ago but never thought to check out the site. Thanks!

I love that there is a link preservation society. It is all just too cool.

This is why we need to always carry our cameras at all times. Strange that I have never noticed him, since he's in my neighborhood.
