Hero Navi - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Why Hero Navi?
I'd had the concept in my head for a while of, "what if Navi was the hero? And Link was the fairy?" So this came to exist.
Construction:
I was able to save money with this cosplay where thankfully I didn't have to buy any fabric. The white shirt underneath is the one from my Dark Link cosplay.
The tunic was made without a pattern, just using basic shapes to make what I wanted. I followed some historical methods to use up fabric and make sure I used as much as I could. Several seams are also hand felled inside.
The hat was made using the basic windsock method, and this time added a gusset in to make it bigger to fit the band that sits around my head. There are pieces stitched over the gusset by hand to create a small design.
The wig is from Arda Wigs Canada styled by me.
