No Link or Princess Zelda cosplay costume is complete without a pair of Zelda 'Twilight Princess' Vans. These slip-on Vans are colorfully decorated to resemble the shield carried by Link in the game 'The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.'
The look of these shoes is impeccable, with the colors expertly painted, and so bright that they nearly pop off of the canvas. The paint itself is waterproof, allowing gamers to fly their geek flag regardless of the weather. The Zelda 'Twilight Princess' Vans were created by KyozoKicks, an apparel company specializing in video game clothing and shoes. These shoes are for hardocre Zelda fans only, as indicated by their surprisingly high price. You'll need to have an immense love for the Triforce, and $195, in order to sport these bad boys.
