Description
Well yeah, how Link's artwork has evolved in time.This is in scraps because I didn't actually do anything than search artwork for every game (which wasn't that easy) and touched them up a little bit so they looked more alike.
From left to right:
Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, Ocarina of Time, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword
Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time, Ocarina of Time *3D, Majora's Mask, Four Swords, Wind Waker, Four Swords Adventures, Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks

Haha, thanks. But I guess a floating torso would look quite strange next to the other Links

I love these evolution pictures! Such great change over the years
My favourite ones have to be Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess. Most mature, well done ones.
My only problem with the more recent ones......is that for Wii they flipped him, and now for Skyward Sword they are making him right-handed to suit better for motion!?
Im sorry, but this is a huge pet peeve of mine XD He has been left handed for practically all of the games!!!!! That is one of the main reasons why I like Link so much, that he is one of the rare left-handed characters. It's just....ARG so frustrating lol. It may seem trivial...but it just bothers me >_>. They better have an option to switch to a left-hand option...
/rant done.
Nice picture!! ^_^

Well, Wii Sports Resort always had a left-hand option where it mattered, so I guess you'll be able to select your hand in SS.

It looks like you don't like cartoon Link and CD-I Link.

CD-I link and cartoon Link are not considered to be canon.
And yes, I don't like them

Wind waker link and Phantom Hourglass link are the same person. It says so right in phantom hourglass. and Oracle of ages and Oracle of seasons are also the same person. It is an amazing artwork, I just wanted to let you know that.

Yeah I know, but it's not a timeline, it's a collection of artworks of Link in every LoZ he's been in.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh! I thought it was a timeline. Thank you for telling me that.

Well, it's a timeline somehow... The games are in the order they have been published

Legend of Zelda is an amazing series; its' characters and styles have evolved so much, and all of them are displayed right here through the different forms of Link.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, it's amazing how much they tried out different styles and didn't just stick to one formula.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank God for that, it would get a little less exciting without that kind of change. Not boring, just sort of monotonous if you know what I mean.

I see from top to bottom:
Zelda 2 Link, ALTTP Link, OoT Adult Link, Link's Awakening Link, TP Link, Zelda 1 Link, OoT Young Link, Wind Waker Link, Minish Cap Link, Phantom Hourglass Link. Only thing missing is... Spirit Tracks Link.

Could be because I made that long before ST was announced...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now I finally redid my picture and Spirit Tracks Link is no longer missing.

Sweet. Makes me wonder... what about an evolution of Ganon? Just a suggestion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, that would be an idea. I'll start collecting images as soon as I need some time-out from my current project.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just organized them by how they looked.

You know, a LOT of people do their own artistic interpretations of each Link...I really like how you took the actual art for him (and Zelda!) to put them in this progression!
