This cursed Tears of the Kingdom cosplay brings the Korok torture to real life
A very clever and devoted The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fan has done the unthinkable and brought Korok torture to the real world.
As highlighted by Twitter user @gurt_sc, one attendee at this year's MomoCon in the US decided to cosplay as one of the least-expected characters in Tears of the Kingdom.

As one Twitter user says: "I feel like a jackass cause I yelled 'do it yourself!' at them." The good news is that this Korok did manage to find its friend in the end - which you can see for yourself here.
