Halloween was right around the corner, and with school in session, I didn’t have much time to do shop work. I knew that at PAX, I’d have a great opportunity to meet and hang out with a ton of other Zelda fans, and the best way to meet other Zelda fans, I thought, was by making an awesome Link cosplay! They couldn’t stop raving about how awesome it was, and invited me along for the next year. They told me they had taken a road trip to Seattle for PAX ( Penny Arcade Expo) and had gotten back just a couple days before. In fall of 2012, I was talking with some of my friends about what all they had been doing over the summer.

A Link to the Past was a common occurrence after school to rush over to my friend’s house and we would figure out a dungeon or play Four Swords. ![]() I was first introduced to the Zelda series with the GameBoy Advance version of A Link to the Past when I was in elementary school. ![]() I’m Nick, a 20-year-old Computer Science major at UNBC, in British Columbia.
