[Disguise Week] Throwback: Ashei from Zelda series

Four years ago, on Halloween, I listed fictional characters from pop culture that aren't yeti but chose at one point to dress up like one.

Hands down, my personal favorite is Ashei from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.  She's an obvious bad ass.




And I'm not alone.  Some folks like her so much they want to cosplay her:

Probably the best Ashei cosplay of all time is by Sabina Mårdenkrans Åkerblom (follow her on fb) - Why? Because she actually made the yeti suit!






Here's a youtube interview with her but you gotta understand the language.

Brilliant!



Besides cosplay, fan artists seek to display Ashei in visual form, and can you blame them?

And here's an imagining of Demon Road (fan web-comic) Link and Zelda in Ashei-style yeti winter gear based on Twilight Princess's Yeta and Yeto:
