Link and Sheik share similar hobbies.

The unveiling of the Skyward Sword box art and bundle pack was hands down the best news that came out of PAX 2011. No, it wasn’t announced at PAX, but the announcement lined up with the end of the expo so it still counts.

The second best news from PAX would have to be the awesome Zelda cosplay that appeared at the convention. I’ll give third place to the Kirby cotton candy.

Either way, you can see tons of awesome Nintendo pictures from the show floor below.

Of particular interest, among the princesses, ninjas, plumbers, and Metroid victims, you may recognize the infamous Zelda cosplayer PikminLink. She made an appearance at Nintendo’s booth as both Ocarina of Time Link (a costume she has recently updated in light of the 3DS release) and Skyloft Link (a new costume, which she has yet to post her own personal photos of).

Look at these reps showing off their blinding shirts.

They have swag!

This guy's so into the Star Fox demo that he doesn't even notice that a Metroid is sucking the life out of him.

Pikminlink again, this time dressed in Skyloft attire.

The sword looks golden in this shot.

November 20th come faster, please.

While there were no new demos on the floor, it looks like all of PAX’s attendees had a good time. Not only was it not as crowded as E3 and Gamescom, but there was cotton candy and bean-bag chairs to be had. Plus, I bet it was the first time a majority of the attendees got to play the featured demos. Good things come to those who wait for less-hyped gaming conventions, I suppose.
