The Bottom of the Well – Dead hand Hallway Run forward, and kill the Big Skulltula that comes down. You’ll be in a small clearing which is a dead end. Thankfully, he doesn’t have to marry her in the end. Once you have the token, return to the Boat and stand on the Triforce symbol. Conversely, you can stand on the opposite end of the field to reflect the shots. The idea was started close to the end of the previous BlizzCon, and I had started to make some preliminary design sketches for it. The end result had Hogger’s hump as the holder for my head, with the Hogger head being about chest level when I’m inside.
Due to the weight of the head, I had to wear a rolling backpack I butchered to support the PVC rods that supported helped to support it. Push the stone block directly in front of you forward until it stops, then drop back down to the second level via the ladder. The two shield pieces were glued together with 7800 adhesive, clamped down with medium-sized binder clips. I disguised the two eye holes on the hump as spots so that it would blend in and not be very obvious. The very first costume I made started as a joint effort in the club but eventually ended up with just two of us finishing by the time the convention came around. Perhaps you’re familiar with the photo above, we’ve used it on several occasions for a variety of articles here at WoW Insider, partially because it’ a really cool costume with a lot of detail and partially because hey, it’s Hogger!

We’ve featured several costume variations of the young hero — Phantom Hourglass Link, Four Swords Link, and, of course, Hugging Girls Link — but today’s photo puts an actual kid into the green outfit! I had a general idea of what to do, given the very non-human proportions of the creature but it took a lot of sketches to come up with a design that would decently work.
How did that one come together? This was probably one of the more difficult parts, as when I was making it, the head was much heavier than I anticipated and kept sagging. Oh, Hogger. It was a good mix of fun and head pounding to get that one done in time for BlizzCon. Most of the time costly dabbling, but fun none the less. The whole creation process, from concept to experimentation to final product, is fun and rewarding in its own way.
