Description
LinkThis is my OC incarnation of Link based on the character(s) from The Legend of Zelda series
Description:
This is my incarnation of Link, living in an alternate time line right before the imprisoning war. Here's his story:
Link have lived a tough life until the day he becomes the hero of legend. He never knew his parents as his dad was a Hylian Knight and died in the previous war. His mother died giving birth to Link. He only has one known family member, his dads brother. Had his parents lived Link would have been of high status, but as a result of their death he is a poor blacksmith apprentice and a sword for hire. His younger days he was a street kid until his blacksmith master found him and raised him as his apprentice. Despite his tragic story, Link has a strong mentality and is not easy to break. He has a good sense of humor and has a very righteous heart.
This Link is my fictional character in my fan fiction and comic, The Hylian Knight and The Golden Blade. Other characters I'm going to design include:
And some other characters, feel free to guess which ones.
This is a sketch and honestly I got really sloppy with the lines. I'll clean them later when I ink this piece. If you decide to give me critique on this piece, please avoid point out the obvious stuff, such as the crappy lines. This IS a sketch. Also avoid comment on my lack of detail or the messy detail if there are some. Other than that, fire away.

I really like this version of the Heero of Legend. <3
I mean, the Manga version looks nice, bot Link don't look so special. His hair is the same like SS and TP only in Platinum blonde and even Hylia looks the same like Zelda.
In my interpretation, Hylia has the costume, blue/white wings like and hair style like the consept art, only that she is by me adult.
Link is also an adult and his hair style is the same like the Hero version of the Minish Cap. www.zeldainformer.com/images/a…
Ofcours i thought to give him the hair of Hero of time, but because Gerudo Link has already this pony, he has the Minish version.
I was thinking on another story. King of Hyrule died, but his Wife, Queen Zelda take his place. This Queen has caramel coloured hair and Zelda is brown haired. Impa is this time male and my Link is a Gerudo with Lesbian Parents, one a dancer and the other, a masculine Warriors who was pregnant with him. And Ghirahim is his companion, Sword and navigator, cause in the game, he isn't death, when you think about the past, who the future and past Demise died. The past Ghirahim wasn't there to see his future self and his master die. xD

El mejor diseño de Link que he visto en toda mi vida. Se ve serio sin tener esa pesades de verse muy androgino y es muy leal al diseño original. Esta bien proporcionado en los musculos sin ser exagerados dandole un toque muy vistoso

Yeah, I may have once dated a Spanish girl, but that doesn't mean I understand Spanish.
Thanks to Google translate I were able to understand what you're saying tough.
Thanks.

So far so good! It does feel like it could on par with other incarnation of Links in the LOZ franchise. Man though I wish my lines where that clean XD. One thing I love about this design is the stitching on his hat that its gone though a lot of crap and hints at his humble beginnings (hope that was detailed enough but if you would like more clarification let me know I be glad to help ^_^).

Thanks. Actually this is just quickly sketched and that is the reason for the stitches. They are still "out" of order on purpose though for that very reason.

I intended to eventually do one of her as well. But I have to wait until I get my new tablet.

Have to say this a great design for Link. I like how you made his sword carrying hand armored, while the shield carrying hand isn't as armored. This definitely looks like a version of Link that should be in the games. Great work man.

I doubt it. They seem prefer the childish approach, as they mover further and further away froom the look OoT or TP had, to the colorful and strange look that WW had.

The-Dark-Lord-Link In reply to lthot [2011-10-07 04:00:55 +0000 UTC]
Yes, sadly. But in the event of another OOT design-like game in the future, I'm still hoping they see your approach to his design.

lthot In reply to The-Dark-Lord-Link [2011-10-07 09:10:14 +0000 UTC]
They did that with TP, and even used a darker color palette. But then they moved away from that and continued with the WW idea, using cel-shading and bright colors. I don't really "mind" the bright colors of SS, nor really the cel-shading. But seriously... some of the character designs...
It seems like after Shigeru Miyamoto lessened his importance in the production and story writing of these games, and let others succeed him to do that, the Zelda series have in my opinion gone downhill. Don't get me wrong, I've been a fan all my life and is still loyal to the series... but I grow older, and the Zelda games grow.. younger. It's a shame really...

No no no, I actually agree whole heartily with your view. I don't even plan to get Skyward Sword just because of the graphics. If I do get it, it might be because of the new mechanics of the game...
But in all seriousness, Zelda has always had a dark undertone. And as you said, the older we fans get, the less and less that dark undertone that has held us since day one, grows less.

True story. Only reason I get Skyward Sword myself is my loyalty to the game franchise. Besides, as I soon release my Zelda website, I'd better be up-to-date with the games.

The-Dark-Lord-Link In reply to lthot [2011-10-09 05:06:55 +0000 UTC]
Indeed. We die hard fans are becoming less and less active with each new release. Nintendo needs to step it up a notch.
I look forward to your website!

They do, but I doubt they will. They seem happy with what they got, and they seem to care more about the new generation of fans.
So do I.
