Flute Link performs at Otakon 08 with pestering Navi

by Ross Miller on Aug 16th 2008 1:00PM

Tossing aside the standard temporal ocarina for something a little more complex, a "Flute Link" cosplayer performed on stage at this year's Masquerade show at the Otakon 2008 in Baltimore, bringing Navi in tow. It's a great performance, although it's hard to tell when she's playing live and when it's pre-recorded (for demonstrationg of her live performance, we also embedded a video of Flute Link performing Tetris with an Otaku band.

And for anyone who ever wished Navi would get her what for, keep watching until about the 4:25 mark. Video embedded after the break.

That guy in the first video has some balls. I like balls.

That was a girl

It's the same girl in both videos. So I think you meant to say "That *girl* in the first video has some balls. I like balls."

hmmm. Freudian slip maybe?

I loves me a woman with a nice set of balls. That's finger lickin good.

If that happened in the US it would not be treated the same way.

shame

That was great

If Navi had guts it wouldn't be HEY LISTEN! It would be LISTEN GODDAMIT, OR I'LL RESET YOUR FUCKING GAME.

Oh em gee! I wake up this morning to be greeted by an Ocarina reference. :D She sure has some skrillz, I just wish she wasn't so drowned out in the second video by the less skillful other musicians.

They seemed pretty skilled to me... the sound's just not very good quality.

It was almost like folk metal... I loves me some folk metal 8D

Skilled, but dressed REALLY weird.

Oh I get why you like Ocarina references, because your username is Saria. I get stuff... damn we need a close up of this Link girl.

@I am a machineee: OR my username is Saria BECAUSE I like Ocarina! :O C'mon, the forest sage is way cooler than any of the other girls.

That girl was actually really talented. Very entertaining performance! Those crazy otaku kids put a lot of work into their hobby.

Would I get yelled at for calling it a hobby? Maybe.

Wearing women's clothes?

mmm, makes me want to get some Lon Lon milk!

That was Awesome!

Those tunes bring back so much memories.

For me Ocarina of Time is still the best game ever made.

Indeed.

Hes good I suppose but hes no Ron Burgundy.

i wonder if her note sheet had arrows

Haha, busts out the milk. Good show.

Cute costume, cool act. But I wonder how she'd do in a fight against those two girls that dress as Link that get their pictures spread about the webbernets?

She killed Navi. D:

The more I see "Link played by a girl" videos the more I think it's time for a "Link Game played with a female character"... what do you think?

i thought that before, i also want to see the roles reverse. zelda has to go on an adventure to rescue link after he saved her or something like that.

YES! Or how about Tetra rescuing Link?

I think one of the infamous CDi games had Zelda taking the role of rescuer, but i can't recall which

I'd love for Zelda to be something other than a helpless princess for once. It'd be awesome if there was a Zelda in which the enemy actually gets smart and kidnaps LINK instead and Zelda has to don his attire and save him. And no wimpy magical spells, either. Just pure hack and slash by female. :)

I'm SO glad you guys don't design games...

Is there any particular reason as to why that man is wearing a dress?

That's no man. It's a Space Station...err, I mean girl.

Well, it's a girl, if that makes you feel any better. ;)

Wow, now I feel horrible. Bad video quality?

Geez I feel like a moron.

My God, the "HEY! LISTEN!" in OOT is only annoying if you constantly fuck up.

...or if you ever load up your game

I was actually at Otakon and saw this live. When she was done, everyone went *wild*. This was in a huge stadium, with well over a thousand people watching. Almost everyone in there was standing up, screaming and cheering at the end.

For the record, the only parts that were pre-recorded were the parts where "Navi" was playing the flute.

i had forgotten how cool and orchestrated the ocarina soundtrack was

Boy I can't wait to bomb some dodongos.

Enough,I wonder what's for dinner.

(She is friggin awesome)

i was there also she is very very talented.

Does anyone know how old she is, or how long she's been playing the flute? I'm really curious!

i'm really creeped out

...Why? I'm a flute performance major. I like to know these things.

haha i'm just fuckin with ya man

Thanks to youfail quality I can't really tell but I think she is underaged so...

Why don't you take a seat right over there...

Nice Dateline reference

The nostagia....its too much...must boot up Limited Edition Ocarina Of Time Disk i got with Wind Waker....must finish OOT for 16th time (no exaggeration).

only 16?
REAL fans play through 16 times a month.

Well, i could finish it 16 times a month, but i have far too many PC and Wii games that i havent finished. Not to mention i am replaying Prime 3, Tales of Symphonia, Pikmin 2 and i just bought a DS.
