Cosplay Feature: Wumbo's Monoco!

Photo by David Ngo Happy February! I hope you had an amazing start to your new year and that you're excited to learn about the amazing cosplays that are out there for 2026. The cosplay community usually dubs the one-two punch of MAGFest & Katsucon as the kickoff for the convention season. I spent the last month or so gathering cosplays that as of today's date, all stem from the former! I also am insanely excited that many of these I'm about to share are first time write-ups for the creators themselves. Today, you get a look at Wumbo's masterful recreation of known feet lover Monoco from 2025's Game of the Year, Expedition 33! In looking at some of the photo posts on her instagram, she made all of this by herself so I don't have to worry about adding in extra creators who may have assisted with design files etc. Quick backstory, Monoco is the last party member you add to your team who's a longtime friend of Verso and gained a grasp on the English language...

Cosplay Feature: Li Kovacs loves The Legend of Zelda.


No that's not a promotional image for the 3DS Remake for Ocarina of Time but it sure as hell could be one right? Today I wanted to feature cosplayer Li Kovacs and her undying love for The Legend of Zelda. Mostly she's been able to work alongside Nintendo promoting their games through her cosplays, these include various versions of Link and Pit from Kid Icarus: Uprising. This has also led her to meet some influential figures in the company such as Reggie Fiis-Amie, Eji Anouma, Shigeru Miyamoto, you know...those guys :).

Li has an impeccable eye for detail that makes her practically the spitting image of a real life Link. From the patterns on the tunic and gloves to the way the Hylian Shield and Master Sword look, really I just absolutely love the work she puts out. The various versions of Link (which you can see below) are also a nice touch as Li isn't afraid to do something other than the classic look Link's been known for. Each outfit has its own distinct look and feel and the backgrounds for each photo just compliments the outfit in a unique way. The way the blonde wig looks along with the elf ears is also awesome! Li even has the Ocarina seen above!

It wasn't long after I started following that I realized she was at my very first convention I attended (PAX East 2012). It looked like she was hired by Nintendo to promote the upcoming release to Kid Icarus Uprising, and while I did take pictures they came out downright awful so I got rid of them haha.
