Toon Link for his expressiveness. Also, his intense drive to save his sister. The scene where he runs off a cliff to save her never fails to put a smile on my face

I always hated the moon link design and it's game aesthetic as a teen . It felt like a Disney downgrade after playing ocarina. I always hated that young link was considered the main link instead of teen link from ocarina.

Yes. It's funny that wind waker cucks try to rewrite history "see guys, you all hated on wind waker's art style but now everyone agrees it's perfect" but I still don't like toon link's style. A literal powerpuff girl

That said, yeah the environments were really nice and still hold up, but I never changed my mind on the characters looking retarded, and guess how the original wind waker reveal trailer started with? an extreme close up of toon link's face

Most Links prior to Ocarina were young. The Link of the original Legend of Zelda was a kid who got a bit older in Zelda II. The Link of A Link to the Past was also a kid. It wasn't until starting from Twilight Princess where the majority of mainline Links were older than 14.

In general, most Links tend to be somewhere between Child Link in OoT and the older Links of the Game Cube-Wii era. OoT's Child Link is probably the youngest version of Link, somewhere around 8-10 years old. Despite his appearance, the Toon Links are generally meant to be a bit older than OoT's Child Link, somewhere around 12 to 13.

The success of BotW era Link means we probably wonโ€™t go back to child link for mainline 3D games. But Iโ€™d love a spiritual successor to MM that has you play as a child in another kingdom for the whole game.

I honestly don't know how you can look at this CG model and think it looks good.
OOT Link looks good in artwork, but in-game you have stuff like his Soul Caliber version and his Hyrule Warriors version, which are both iterations on the OOT design, but look infinitely better in-game.

Wind Waker's Link has arguably the greatest drive of any of them, after the game itself introduced the idea of Ganondorf and Link being constants it also introduced a Link that wasn't part of those constants and he had nothing at all to do with Ocarina of Time, but he still grew into the role, claimed the Master Sword and Triforce of Courage, and even re-established Link as a constant in his timeline via Spirit Tracks

This is why Wind Waker is a better origin story for the Hero's lineage than Skyward Sword, thank you for coming to my TED Talk

Twilight Princess Link, with Oracles Link at a respectable second place.

I do love that about him. He's not the Hero chosen by the Goddesses, he's just some blonde kid who's sister got kidnapped by a bird, so he crossed the sea, took the blessings of the Goddesses, and murdered that fucking bird and everyone connected to it.

I really like the somewhat sketch-like look on TP art.

The Hylian Shield started in SS... but Link's journey was not done when the Thunder Dragon made it. How did he know to put the birb on the shield?

They should make an HD HD version so the artist comes back and makes more.

Expert Gamer was such a great mag. That was one of the last issues, too.

It's already a "legendary" shield when the Thunder Dragon has it so it's still a total fucking mystery. I kinda don't like the legendization of the Hylian Shield itself, takes away from it being knightly kip that Link got his hands on one way or another that there's apparently only one Hylian Shield in existence at a clip.

Also it looks like shit in the ALTTP artstyle and any derivative games, just embrace your more Dragon Quest-y fantasy designs of the time Nintendo.

How does it explain the eagle crest above the Temple of Time in SS?

I knew since the 80s that Zelda (who you call 'Link') - the player character - was a girl. i mean you can't point to one thing on the drawing they put on the box that is what a boy looks like. Poofy blonde hair and big round blue eyes, etc., that's a girl. Anyway this pic in the OP is like confirmation if anything
