Description My version of Dark Link for the LoZ villains tribute on

As some of you may already know, I DON'T ever draw Dark Link literally. I took this tribute as an opportunity to expand on my interpretation of him as a combination of my most memorable encounters with him, and how I would like to see him included in future LoZ games. I thought it would be interesting to play with the idea of Dark Link being more substantial than just Link's shadow/evil copy - what if he were to have his own feelings, agendas, etc... and being the evil opposite of Link, and knowing what he knows, I think Dark Link could make one of the most formidable villains that the green clad hero could ever face

Colours borrowed from the Dark Link in Super Smash Bros Brawl with my own adjustments. Setting is that eerie room in one of the Ocarina of Time dungeons where Dark Link is the boss. And I made a point of having him right handed, and holding a dark version of the Master Sword

Great personal interpretation of Dark Link. I agree with you; Nintendo should place him in the next Zelda console game and make him more than just Link's shadow. Also, great job capturing every detail in Dark Link's outfit from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, creating a dark version of the Master Sword and recreating the "Reflection Chamber" from the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time. Keep up the good work!

Very, very cool. I read a few fanfics that made Dark Link very cool. I think giving him the spotlight might not be a bad idea.

Cool thought, you know I like to create my own little back drops for video games that don't provide much background/story for the characters. The easiest to do this is Pokemon, I like to imagine my guy with various personalities depending on the version, Red is compassionate, if a bit hot headed, Gold is cool and collected, Sapphire, well he's a bit slow... then I like your jrpg where the main character has no talking lines, so I say in my head what he would say... the most recent example being Dragon's Dogma, very fun game by Capcom! He usually says heroic one-liners while being a cocky bastard, but at the end of the day he does what's right

Hypnocrown In reply to ??? [2012-07-30 16:41:51 +0000 UTC]

I agree with you. Fighting the same villain over and over again (Gannondorf) is getting old. However, I doubt things would be dull if from time to time the main bad guy was Dark Link. And you're right, he should have his own motivations, purposes, agenda and everything. And this drawing is simply divine! It has the usual movement blur and everything looks as it should. Excellent work!
