Freaky Fridays: Halloween Costumes for Video Game Lovers

With Halloween just around the corner, it is time to find the perfect costume. For video game lovers, Halloween is a day where we get to dress up as our favourite character, and immerse ourselves in their worlds. We have a chance to pretend to slay dragons, parkour our way out of trouble, and fight evil along the way. Here is a list of some available costumes to start your Halloween shopping:

1. Link and Zelda – The Legend of Zelda

Get ready to defend Hyrule with this awesome Link and Zelda couple costumes. These costumes do come separately, and are so beautifully detailed. Don’t forget to pick up a sword and shield in case you come across Ganon on your Halloween adventures. Purchase: Link Costume or Zelda Costume
