Description
I totally love to do comparisons of Link! They're fun!As we all know, in June 7th of 2011, it was released a short cinematic of "The Legend of Zelda" in Wii U during Nintendo's E3 2011 conference. This was just a "demo" (not an up-coming real game), which it was used with the purpose of demonstrating the graphical capabilities of the Wii U, nothing more.
EDIT: MIYAMOTO CONFIRMED A NEW ZELDA GAME IN HD FOR WII U --> [link]
Here goes:
(Left) Twilight Princess's Link (TP Link)
(Right) Link from the Wii U Tech. Demo. (WUTD Link)
Both Links look practically the same (as if they were the same person, which they highly could be, but it's unknown). Although they have some few differences that I would like to highlight
For example:
Basic: TP Link is left handed, while WUTD Link is right handed, due that he is a flipped version of TP Link. TP Link's colors are darker, while WUTD Link's colors are brighter, and have different tones.
Hair: TP Link's hair-bang is a dirty blonde (meaning it's a dark blonde) and it's placed on the right; while WUTD Link is a much brighter and a different tone of yellow, and it's placed to the left. *Notice that WUTD Link's hair-bang has a "curve wave-like", while the TP Link's hair-bang doesn't have much.
Face: Unlike TP Link, WUTD Link's eyes are a *bit more slanted (look at the eye on the right), and their color is a different tone of blue. WUTD Link's eyes are more lighter than TP's ones. WUTD Link's eyebrows are more "feminine", slender and have a different form compared to the TP's ones, which are hairier, have different form and their positions makes TP Link's face to look "angry". An interesting note, is that WUTD Link's eyebrows is a dark dirty blonde color compared to his bright blonde hair. TP Link's mouth is larger than WUTD Link's one. WUTD Link's ears seem to be longer and pointer than TP Link's ones. TP Link's nose is bigger than WUTD Link's nose.
Ps. WUTD Link seems to have a "tan skin", but it's unknown if that is his true skin' color (depends on the environment and shadows).
General body: Both tunics & equipment are *exactly the same but with the differences that WUTD Link is a "mirrored" version, and has different and *lighter tones (green, yellow, blue, etc.). ***Although, WUTD Link's t-shirt neck is shorter, compared to the TP one. *Also, WUTD Link's left hand "glove" is a silver color, meanwhile TP Link's right hand "glove" is black.
Sword: TP Link has the Master Sword, while WUTD Link, no.
Sidekick: TP Link has Midna (imp), while WUTD Link has a fairy (who has green wings).

I can't seem to find the forth picture to the bottom right corner.
I know it's a concept art of some kind, but I want a good size portion of him.

Link is like wine. Each year he becomes better with age
Why must he be a fictional character?
AHHH they made him so hot in the tech demo! When the actual wii u games comes out (im sure nintendo wouldn't leave their beloved FRANCHISE outta this new system) I hope the graphics STYLE is like this! Its perfect! Its like Twilight princess graphics with eye pleasing contrast. the HD helps loads too! The tech demo was true beauty for my eyes ahahaha

I never noticed that they were so different before. I mean, you can still tell they are the same person but tech demo link is much tanner than the original twilight link. Who do you like more? And, I don't know about you, but I would like to see a new zelda game for the wii u with twilight link. How about you?

isamisa In reply to LinkQuest [2012-02-19 01:04:24 +0000 UTC]
I liked more the tech version of Link. Why' because's he's sexier and blonder . I would also like to see a tech demo with Twilight Link (in this version) that would be soo cool! (and it would be cool if Princess Zelda could at least cameo)

LinkQuest In reply to isamisa [2012-02-19 01:11:59 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, that would be great. But I just want to know why Nintendo always makes sequels to its lesser games and not the better ones. I mean, I love Wind Waker, but Twilight Princess seemed much more realistic and satisfactory. They would be dumb not to follow up on it.

isamisa In reply to LinkQuest [2012-02-19 12:22:15 +0000 UTC]
I also think the same! The should make a sequel to TP; but I would like it with an entire different plot from TP (meaning nothing about the Twilight Realm and Ganondorf). Plus, if you notice, at the end of Twilight Princess, Link didn't stay in Ordon Village; he ride away from there [link] and therefore, it makes more sense for a sequel, no?
Also, it would've been cool if Akira would have do a manga version of TP :/

Demo Link is so handsome (both are, of course). I heard that hair parted to the left is more masculine, I wonder if they were thinking of that?

I hope Link will be tanner in his other games, He sees the sun a lot---OMG wouldn't it be just so cool if in the Wii U Zelda, if you're out in the sun too long you'll get tanner?! ;-OOOO I would love that!

I think that would be a fairly awesome idea, it would really show how realistic the Zelda world would be, if the sun rises and sets why can't skin color change?

Nintendo is turning this tech demo into a game? Those sneaky bastards! >=/ Although, the aesthetics of this new game might be completely different from the tech demo. Remember when a Zelda game was confirmed for the Gamecube after the Spaceworld tech demo and the art style wasn't what everyone expected?
Maybe I am missing something here so correct me if I am wrong. Now that I think about it, Wind Waker graphics could look even better in HD. Or Skyward Sword graphics. <3
But anyways, Link looks really gorgeous in crisp HD. Major improvement from Twilight Princess.
On an unrelated note, did anybody who first saw the tech demo thought it was just a CGi cutscene instead of real time?

Hi!
Well, it's unknown if this tech demo is actually *the TLoZ game that will come for Wii U; probably it will be or probably it's just a tech demo (meaning that: probably not)...Who knows... Hahah yeah! Many people were so excited for the Spaceworld tech demo until they saw Wind Waker, and all the fans were: , because of the cell-shaded/graphics style! Yeah! Sure!! WW in HD will look great 8D! Too bad Skyward Sword it's only for Wii, not Wii U...
I know! Link is so gorgeous in HD, and some of his traits are different from TPΒ΄s design; which is very interesting...well, for me xD
Well, when I first saw that demo, I was like: What's this? Could it be a TLoZ new game?, and then, I read the info. and discovered it was just a tech demo
PS. You're a great artist! Your Zelda artwork is great It would be so cool to see a pic of yours showing the Link from the Wii U tech demo

"It would be so cool to see a pic of yours showing the Link from the Wii U tech demo"
That's a great idea! You see, I was working on a speedpaint as a tribute for Skyward Sword. It was going to have Link and Zelda flying with the birds and that whale in the trailer... Unfortunately my computer died and I lost the files without finishing it. I am not sure if I feel motivated enough to work on the same thing twice. Maybe I could make a speedpaint based on the WiiU tech demo instead.
