Well, the 'omg it's racist' crowd jumped on a set of twins who were cosplaying Peter Pan and his shadow and called it 'blackface'. These people aren't exactly capable of understanding what is or isn't blackface.

Seriously?? That cosplay was awesome as fuck. What the hell.

Do people also jump on anybody who cosplays shadow Link?

OH YES THEY DO and one instance I remember was a beautiful fail: They accused a Shadow Link cosplayer of racism and blackface - well, turned out the cosplayer actually was black under all that solid jet black makeup.

Shit son ahahaha that's amazing.

They did a good job, too. People seriously need to calm the fuck down about this. I do think that censuring actual blackface is great and important, but next thing you know this shit happens.

If you look at his deviantart gallery, he has a lot of awesome costumes.
I've seen a lot of grey/solid black/non-human-skin coloured people been accused of doing blackface - it's pretty embarassing, actually.

(I also wish people would stop calling every single thing where someone uses dark paint on their face "blackface" - especially when it's a tradition that predates the minstrel show blackface and is not in any way meant as a racist act.)

I've seen this before (the actual pic, not the photoshopped one) and it's really cool. Dark Link is cool, this costume is cool, and that cosplayer is cool. And his response to that comment was great.
