Here it is! A reference for WW Style figures. I noticed that many artists, when drawing OCs in this style, they always use the same proportions of Link and Tetra, regardless of the age of the characters. I'm not saying that's wrong; I'm no pro. But I wanted to draw attention to the many different body types we find in The Wind Waker. The "body the size of three heads" structure is not the only one.

I thought of so many things to say here while making this, but now I've forgotten them.
I used references, of course. I tried to keep it as accurate as possible towards the official artwork, although the figures are not exactly proportional to each other.

This is free to use for anyone; I own nothing.

I wish more people would pay attention to this detail! It bugs me that so many Wind Waker artists make all of the characters look 12 (or like link and zelda).

Goodness thank you so much for making this! It's absolutely wonderful, and it really will help C: I'm suprised you didn't used Ms. Marie for an older, heavier lady though. I do love this and i will use it next time! <3

I'm glad you find it useful! <3
Yes, I had to make a lot of decisions about what body types to use and which ones not. I was going to include separate males and females for both elders and heavy adults (I really don't know what to refer to "fat" as while being tactful ;w; ) but I decided their body proportions barely changed with gender. Still, there are some I didn't include, like Mrs Marie. I didn't want to make it too long, I hope that's allright. X)

Best. Thing. Ever.

I LOVE THIS. It's so much better than mine, I didn't draw all the body types.

I might just go ahead and use this~

Haha, thanks! Yours is really good; it has written notes and more detail that mine lacks. I think yours is better for that spethific body type, but I just decided to make a compilation of varied kinds. ^^

I'd be honoured...

Shouldn't the legs become longer too? =/ Seems rather short even for some of the kiddies

That's just the way this style is. Everybody who hasn't played the games says that. I'm pretty used to it now, though.
