Zelda Williams was infamously named after the princess from the popular Nintendo game franchise, which is usually known for being one of the industry\u2019s biggest misnomers. You play as Link, to rescue Princess Zelda; and the game is called Legend of Zelda, but it\u2019s all about the journey of Link. After 30 years of relative stability though, Zelda Williams has decided to throw a curveball during Halloween 2019, dressing up as the gaming crossover most people were dreading. Williams posted pictures and videos of her Link cosplay to Twitter, with quite the ironic hashtag of \u201c#CallMeZeldaOneMoreTime\u201d. She did a pretty good job of it, with the turquoise tunic, long blonde hair, and the elven ears poking out of the sides. She even had the sword and shield props to walk around with, and the big leather boots Link trotted around Hyrule in. Swiggity swooty, Im coming for that rupee pic.twitter.com\/eR6feUsDLt \u2014 Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) November 1, 2019 It\u2019s just that, what do you end up calling her on the candy run \u2013 Zelda or Link? Calling her Zelda is obviously cool if you are on a first name basis, but if other people aren\u2019t in on it, people would think you had never played the franchise. If you call her Link, it\u2019s calling her in character, but it\u2019s the reverse of the misnomer players have gotten so used to in gaming. 30 years. It finally happened. #CallMeZeldaOneMoreTime pic.twitter.com\/r7zV9Ehomo \u2014 Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) November 1, 2019 Twitter was equally confused, with many users complementing the play-on-characters Williams put together for the special occasion while at the same time dropping the joke everyone was waiting 30 years for. \u201cZelda dresses (up) as Link,\u201d said Twitter user \u2018RoonKolos\u2019. \u201cWelp. Everyone pack it up. She won Halloween.\u201d \u201cThis is the best Zelda cosplay I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d said \u2018MugiwaraNolan,\u2019 which just seems like the biggest bait setup. Either way, she lived up to Link\u2019s name across Twitter the whole night, carrying chickens and threatening to smash clay pots to obtain the ever valuable rupees. Thankfully, the confusion is only for a day, but it\u2019s a wonderful play on the whole Zelda-Link debacle in the games. At least when she\u2019s dressed up as Link, you can\u2019t get it wrong either way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zelda Williams wore a Link cosplay for Halloween, and it\u2019s confusing Zelda Williams, daughter of the late Robin Williams, has posted a photo of her in a Link cosplay from the Legend of Zelda franchise to complete the misnomer, and it\u2019s gotten everyone into a twist.
