We’ve seen some pretty spectacular Hylian shield replicas in the past, but we dig the worn leather look of this version (based on an image of Link as the Fierce Deity from Majora’s Mask) from Etsy seller Aradani.
The shield is double layer 1/4 inch ply wood, glued together to achieve the curvature of the shield. It is 24 inches tall, 18 inches wide at the widest point. It has garment leather on the backside (with two straps for actual use) and a small ring for hanging on a wall. The front and edge of the shield are 10 oz Veg Tan leather, completely hand-tooled to form the classic image seen in the video game. After tooling, I dyed the entire shield black, and then I hand-painted the shield. It is mounted to the wooden core using contact cement and upholstery tacks.
It’s $400, which is a lot to spend on a cosplay accessory, but there’s no question that a lot of skilled labor went into creating it. Check out an image of the back of the shield after the break.

I think you can see why these beanies sold out quickly in the fancy purls Etsy shop. The good news is that they appear to take custom orders.

Since the winter is drawing to a close, you can only use your friendly Portal Companion Gloves for a short time, then you must euthanize them with fire to mark the return of Spring. Hopefully it will be back next year to help you through the cold months.

These flame gloves are great for keeping your hands warm in the winter, but high-fives, hugs, petting dogs, using your cellphone and masturbation are out.

Supercharge your high fives with this DIY exploding high five glove project from Eli Skipp. Using a force sensor and an Arduino, the glove can add an explosive sound to authentic high fives (as opposed to simply placing your hand down on a table).
It’s a little bulky at the moment, but with some refinement it could be a proper bit of wearable absurdity. Hopefully a fist bump sequel is also in the works. Check out the video after the break to see the glove in action.
However, Thanko’s hand-warming, USB-powered gloves are fit for chilly white collar ninjas.
