King Harkinian is by far the most widely cosplayed character from the CD-i Zelda games, but occasionally he does not cosplay alone. The two cosplays I have lined up today feature the king with his beloved daughter, Princess Zelda herself. Interestingly, I could not find any other examples of someone cosplaying CD-i Princess Zelda outside of partnering up with a king. And what about Link? We haven’t seen any cosplay of him yet either.
Lutra-AFW and calistamonkey dressed up as the king and Zelda in 2010 for the London MCM Expo. This photo was taken by Littlelinky and I remember it being shared around the Zelda community at the time.
Here’s myself and The Missing Link ready to attend the Zelda symphony concert in Sydney last month.
With this being the last cosplay feature for CD-i Month, I’m a little bit sad that I could find no other Zeldas, and more than that, I could not find a single person who has cosplayed CD-i Link despite extensive searches. The best I can give you is Omender, who did the classic “Gee, it sure is boring around here” pose while in a traditional Link costume.
If you know of any CD-i cosplay that hasn’t been featured during CD-i Month, let us know in the comments below!









Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland was released only in Japan and Europe, never making it to the USA due to lackluster sales. Surprisingly, the game was well-received among those who did play and review the game. You play as Tingle, a 35-year-old (and single) man lost in the world. Guided by the mysterious figure Uncle Rupee, Tingle fills a mystical spring with money and gain access to the wonderful Rupeeland, a paradise where nobody has to work. Along the way, hire body guards to protect Tingle – but from what? All may not be as it seems in Tingle’s quest for monetary gain, and Rupeeland just might not be so rosy after all...
Golly!
