What would the modern-day Link wear?

NYCC isn't too far away, and this will be my first year cosplaying. I thought it would be cool to go as the Legend of Zelda's Link, but if he were around today, in 2012. What would he dress like? Would he have the Master Sword and shield? etc.

I did a google search, and found this image:

While it's an awesome look, I'm not so sure that Link would be a skater. What do you think?

Just take what you want to or like to wear and adapt it to fit Link's character. :]

Navi could be a cellphone, you know "hey listen"

Really ? What about a NAVIgation device like a Tom Tom.

Lol I like this idea. The smartphone that never shuts up

I'm probably going to do this anyway, but I wanted to get some ideas from different perspectives first :)

A tablet pc like the Nexus 7. Perfect.

Would the Master Sword be a gun?

You can actually get a ringtone where she says that whenever you get a text.

Which is exactly what I'll be doing

Only for the cosplaying purposes, though :P

A suit and tie. :P

I did a quick drawing of what I was thinking, using the picture in the OP as a basis... Let me know how to make him better.

The beanie stays, and he's in a green hoodie. If I can get the Triforce printed on the back of it, I'll replace the shirt with a plain white tee. Cargos and a backpack would be ideal for all the stuff he'd carry, and since Converses can be pretty much used for everything, he's wearing those. To replace the Master Sword, he'd carry a knife called The Master, and to replace the bow and arrows, he'd just carry a gun. Navi would be replaced with a phone, and since I couldn't think of anything better than a skateboard, I'd keep that as the shield replacement.
