Description A wonderful friend took me to see the Legend of Zelda Symphony for my 20th birthday, it was incredible and I decided whilst there that I  wanted to create a version of Link myself. So here he is (and Zelda is linked below). 
I've nearly finished my version of Princess Zelda, I'm wondering if I should complete the set and paint Ganondorf too... thoughts?

I can't wait for Breath of the Wild, I'm super hyped! Has anyone pre-ordered it?

No offense but do not really care for the facial hair. I always prefer link clean shaven myself. Otherwise nice work.

This is what Link will look like if Breath Of The Wild was a M rated title. "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild Hunt"

Haha! I like that! Everything's getting gritty reboots these days, it won't be long.

Link didn't have time to cut his hair and shave for a while.
I like this!

I imagine that there'd be little time whilst battling the forces of Evil and Ganon's minions to stop off at a barbers.

I really hope one day we get a Zelda Game (It doesn't matter if from Nintendo or a fan-game) that is more Dark and serious, with artwork and charakter desings like this.
Sorry if my english is not good

TobyFoxArt In reply to CrazyAndCreepy [2017-01-15 11:43:10 +0000 UTC]

I agree, I think Twilight Princess and Majora's Mask were almost there, but I'd be interested to see how Nintendo would handle it.
Don't worry, your English is fine.

Yes! Do all of them! This is really cool, I especially like how you've got all his stuff on him

TobyFoxArt In reply to dragondoodle [2017-01-14 16:09:38 +0000 UTC]

Haha I guess I will then

I was gonna draw more items on him, but it became very crowded, for example he has arrows on his back but no bow, which is a reference to the games, where he pulls his items out of his pouch-pocket-things. Which is why he has a couple of pouches hanging from his belt.

dragondoodle In reply to TobyFoxArt [2017-01-14 16:17:05 +0000 UTC]

Makes sense Yeah, it would get a little crowded with the boots/bow/hookshot Nice little pouches of holding those, I want a few myself

TobyFoxArt In reply to dragondoodle [2017-01-14 16:23:48 +0000 UTC]

Yep, and I was going to give him the gale boomerang and a dagger on his boot too. Way too much!
