This is absolutely stunning. I almost wish there was some part of it that I COULD critique... but there isn't. You read and translate form language very well.

1987 reminds me a BIT too much of the zeldas we don't talk about.
the styles are overall very nice, though. I think 1993 is my favorite of this group.

I really love how you mimic The Zelda II's Link stance, attitude, nose. This side-view caricature is priceless.
The pink-haired Zelda III's link is also a good pun, but I'm wondering what made you put such strong green eyebrows on the original link...

Okay, indeed, original link has green eyebrows, I've never noticed that while playing.

Hahaha
That's just another pun, I know it was not suposed to be an eyebrow, but for me it does look like that.

Btw, the more I look at the original sprite, the more I'm clueless about those two green pixels, what's their purpose ? Emphasize the brown eyes, or stand for the eyes... or ? That's odd.

I really don't see a point for those green pixels, that's why I made fun of it.

To fuel things a bit, I've also noticed that Zelda II's Link (victory stance) has those 2 green pixels too... I'm telling you, this is an old developers conspiracy brought to the light.

Oh boy, If only I knew this before...! hahaha

Oh and to conclude our lost pixels episode, after a short flight to Japan, now I can prove (thanks to Obreck on tSR) that Link has generally no mouth, except for celebration time: [link]
Have a nice day (:

So maybe he's an alien? and his "mouth" is something that we couldn't describe since we don't have such a thing. Probably, someking of procriational device.

LoZ, AoL, Link to the past, in 1993 I've got to guess that its link from on of the gameboy titles? And then theres Ocarina of Time link.

1986: The Legend of Zelda NES
1987: The Legend of Zelda II: Link's Adventure
1991: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the past
1993: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (I guess?)
1998: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The 1993 sprite got me confused a bit, but then I remembered you always base your Link sprites in the sprite design rather than outside game artwork, so it has to be the GB version of Link. That reminds me of Oracle of Ages/Seasons games as they use the same sprite designs. I really love those games~

Hell yeah! I just put a link into the description [link]

YES, I knew that sword pose was based on the GB sprite, nothing can make me ever forget the gorgeousness from the GB Zelda games~

I wasn't sure about 93 either, but it was the all-green clothes that gave it away for me.
Ha ha... green eyebrows.
