Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Fan Creates Imposing Darknut Cosplay

A Legend Of Zelda fan has just put together an impressive cosplay of the Darknut from Twilight Princess. Nintendo’s long-running franchise has featured plenty of memorable characters over the years, and fans have enjoyed recreating their iconic looks in costume form all the while. Aside from the expected cosplays of main protagonists like Link and Princess Zelda, cosplayers have dressed up like Zelda’s ninja-like alter-ego Sheik, Breath Of The Wild’s Urbosa, and even the creepy Happy Mask Salesman from The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

Meanwhile, the armored Darknut has been a recurring foe for Link since its first appearance in the original Legend Of Zelda back in 1986, and has served as both a minor enemy and a serious mini-boss throughout its many appearances in the Zelda sequels, spin-offs, and media tie-ins since. The version of the Darknut from The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess is one of the most formidable yet, coming in different-colored variants that stand in the way of Link and the imp-like Midna as they journey through the Temple of Time and Cave of Ordeals on their quest to restore peace to the Twilight Realm. The resulting battle against Darknuts in The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess comes in two phases, the first of which requires Link to doge the hulking knight’s blows and break its armor away with strikes from his legendary Master Sword. Once the armor is completely removed, the Darknut trades its claymore for a smaller longsword and becomes more agile, making defeating it a much greater challenge for Link.

Reddit user and cosplayer Mar-X 1, who has previously posted impressive cosplays of characters like Mortal Kombat’s Cyber Sub-Zero, recently shared a few images of his version of The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess’s Darknut on r/Zelda. This cosplay is based on the Darknut’s fully armored form, particularly the one Link and Midna encounter in the Temple of Time. In the comments section, Mar-X 1 explains that he made the Darknut's armor out of EVA foam, while the kilt-like skirt beneath the knight's armor is vinyl. He goes on to say that he wishes he was able to make the costume out of metal but notes that he is pleased with the end result all the same.

While the Darknut didn’t appear in 2017’s Nintendo Switch hit The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, the fearsome knight could return in the planned follow-up. Not much is yet known about this Breath Of The Wild sequel, as it was notably absent from both December’s Game Awards 2021 livestream and the recent February Nintendo Direct. Recent rumors suggest that Nintendo might have other Legend Of Zelda games in the works as well and that even if Breath Of The Wild 2 is delayed from its planned release later this year, another Zelda title will at least be revealed in 2022.

This means that fans could see new versions of classic characters and enemies like The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess’s Darknut, which in turn provides cosplayers with new inspirations to show off their costume-making skills. Mar-X 1 is one such talented fan, skillfully recreating the imposing armored visage of one of Link’s many fearsome enemies in an impressive level of detail.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms, Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
