We're having a baby to justify this Link costume

by Alexander Sliwinski on Aug 6th 2009 7:01AM

You want to watch the paternal instincts of a bunch of guys instantly kick in like their desire for s'mores over an open fire? Then show them this adorable knit baby-sized Link costume. Oh my gawd, who doesn't want a little baby now?! Not only that, but the quiver holds the baby bottle. It's all toooooo cute. We want an office baby now. Craftster.org user UpKnitCreek created this as a baby shower gift ... and we're totally jealous of the recipient.

We're currently trying to get in contact with UpKnitCreek to see if we can get the pattern. Not that we'd know what to do with it, but we're sure somebody else does -- and then we want one! We haven't been this impressed with a knitting project since the Guitar Hero scarf.

I Want

Think they can make a little SPARTAN Mark VI?

[The first part of what I wrote here was fine, but the second half was ironically derogatory. This is my warning. If I do it again I'll be banned.]

Nice.

Imagine the disappointment on their faces when their baby is not blonde =p

It's ok, they can paint his skin black and he could be Dark Link!

smh @ whylekat

What's smh mean?

shaking my head

why would u shake that at a man!?? ohhhh the other one.

I want two!
One for my 2yr old.

And one for my... um... 27 yr old.......

*shiffty eyes*

Do want!
Wow... Now every time you look at your child, you'll have fond memories of your childhood.

Wouldn't the fact that it's a kid be enough to make you remember when you were a kid?

Hence the joke...

I was looking for the pattern myself and couldn't find it. I also couldn't find any contact info. If Joystiq can get the pattern, my wife has promised to make it for our first born (we hope to have one within the next year). I would totally send in pictures of the baby in the costume!

That's awesome. I wish I had seen this about 10 yrs ago, when my kids were babies,

You guys also showed off some knit little big planet sackboy's - those are great too.

I need to make sure my girlfriend never sees this.

Then again, she'd probably just roll her eyes at it anyway, if she knew I thought that it was cool.

office baby rofl

How is the baby supposed to reach the Fire Temple in Death Mountain in a Kokiri Tunic ?

Silly you, it's the Wind Waker Link, not Ocarnia Link.
He'll probably be running from fan backlash for the rest of his life.

They've got the little WindWaker belt buckle, too

Awwh.

Oh it's already justified.

link sackboy ftw!

"You want to watch the paternal instincts of a bunch of guys instantly kick in like their desire for s'mores over an open fire?"

Uh, yeah. Sure.

Screw babies, they'll only fit in that thing for a few months. What you really want is a link costume for one of those tiny little rat dogs :)

Zelda is for girls. So is Final Fantasy. That's why no one remembers Zelda 2. Girls can't play side-scrollers.

Did you miss trolling the lilac PSP thread and wanted to give it a go here? Farking with everyone's memories of Zelda, dude, that's messing with the sacred right there.

Heh, in all semi-seriousness, I think I would have cherished the fact that Zelda was a "girls'" game if girls actually wanted to play it back then.

Wow, my comment is faded out? I wasn't trolling, I was joking. It's funny to say that only girls like FF and Zelda (you always read about Moms who play the new Zeldas and girls who do fanart of FF) and I know there are many other reasons why Zelda 2 isn't regarded as classic as the original. Joystiq has proved once again that the internet can't take a joke.

You are the joke. That why no one is taking it.

It was a pretty bad joke, admittedly. It was pretty difficult to tell you were joking at all.

Take a few tips from me: Why did the girl fall off of the swing? Because she had no arms or a baby Link costume.

"I wasn't trolling, I was joking."

Hah, well they are typically the same thing. Only in the former instance the joke is something only the poster finds funny. I mean, I think playing with my Wii until something jumps from my hand into the TV is funny, but others might think it TMI. I mean it's hard not to get excited when you're trying to hit a target. My wife and I, Wii Play sometimes together, or I may just watch. Can we do Link Co-op?

Still, emoticons are the friends of those that can't make a joke obvious eh? ;-.)

How does one get one of these? I mean is anyone going to make them in mass?

You know what's missing? Iron Booties.

Oh, I can see it now. The baby, standing up, ready to learn to walk and the father screaming, "Try to learn to walk in these, fucker!"

That's totally rad!

(yeah, I went there...)

D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWW

My comment is solid black again. Looks like you lose after all.

taken care of!

:P

Man, I'd have a kid just to make sure he was wearing that.

So who at Joystiq is going to be the mother/father?

Are you a hermaphrodite?

I hate babies!
Not even this can make me enjoy their sick, plotting minds and incessant giggles.

That's amazing. Well done. Well done.

There could be a bomb bag to hold diapers.

Very awesome. I'd love to have that for my kids. Of course if i had some kids at that.

If you get the pattern send it over because I have a 3 month old baby boy and a mom that can sew. I could have it done and take some pics very quickly!

DO WANT...

It'll finally fulfill my desire to dress up as Link and run around saving the world...

Or at least I can create the future Hero now. :P

OMG WANT! Thats soooo cute

Awesome, I want one of these. If you get your hands on the patterns, please post them. I'll find someone to make it for us =)

It would be awesome if they all hear "doo doo doo dooooooo", the sound of when link gets an item, when the baby comes out...

That would make so many perfect gifts for my family.
